<p>On a 4.0 scale, I have a GPA of 3.95. I haven't taken the SAT or ACT yet, but I am taking the ACT this weekend.
My community service and volunteer work includes:
80 hours for the IU Health program
15 hours at food pantries, misc. events
Next year will add another twenty hours. </p>

<p>This summer, I will be partaking in a paid internship/research program at a medical lab.
I belong to National Art Honor Society and NHS. </p>

<p>I'm not sure if I'm really qualified or not. I'm very worried about this and I'd love some outside opinion. </p>

<p>Thank you so much for taking the time to read and respond! :)</p>

<p>You are still in the running. Best of luck on the ACT!</p>

3

<p>It’s really hard to tell without any test scores. Just be sure to do well on the ACT!</p>

4

<p>Make sure you get around 33 and up so you have good shot at acceptance.</p>

<p>Advanced Jewelry? Could you explain what this entails?</p>

<p>Also, could you elaborate on your extracurriculars? At this point it is difficult to label them “strong”.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, Ivies are just as much a reach for you as they are for anyone. Sorry</p>

<p>Thanks for the input, guys.</p>

<p>I’ll be that one negative ■■■■■■■ in this thread. I’ll be honest - take it for what you will.</p>

<p>Have you taken the most difficult schedule possible? If not (w/ Advanced Jewelry), Ivies become incredibly difficult.</p>

<p>Your ECs do not show focus nor initiative to the ivies - they are fairly common. If you can pull off a 35/36 on the ACT, that would make sense to me, but, aside from that, Ivies look like fairly tall order reaches right now.</p>

<p>Heck, one of my friends had a 4.0 with 12 AP classes (almost all 5’s), took MVC as a senior (with an A+), 300 hours of community service, 34 ACT. Rejected at all of HYP and Cornell.</p>
