Working towards a top 20 college.

<p>What are the chances of getting into an Ivy League with a 3.94 gpa in freshman year in the top 50 private schools. Taken two honors classes in freshman year and four honors classes now in sophomore year.</p>

<p>Taken the PSAT once with a score of 170.</p>

<p>It’s impossible to say until you’ve taken the real SAT after studying your butt off for it. I’m guessing the 170 really doesn’t represent your true potential.</p>

<p>All I can tell from that is that you are headed in the right direction. GPA is strong and PSAT/SAT score needs to improve, but a good score is reachable.</p>

<p>Think about what ECs will support you case for why they should choose you over other high GPA / high SAT candidates. You still have time to bolster those credentials at this point.</p>

<p>Any comments here are meaningless for a sophomore. All colleges in the “Top 20” are brutally selective. You can do everything perfectly and still be rejected. Just do well, and focus on the present. </p>
