<p>Whats up everybody. I'm a senior studying at an international school in Japan. I'm Singaporean and have moved between NY, Japan, and Singapore (I was born in Singapore, moved to Japan for Pre-K, K, and 1st grade, spent 2-3 in Singapore, 4-5 in NY, 6-7 in Japan, 8-11 in Singapore, 12 in Japan). Both my parents graduated from the National University of Singapore and I have two siblings in Columbia right now. *Oh! I have to serve in the (Singaporean) army for two years after I graduate. *</p>
<p>My GPA is like a 3.2 UW and 3.3-3.4W I think.</p>
<p>My APs. The ones with no scores are the ones I'm taking this year. I'm pretty confident I'll get a 5 in calc in apes and at least a 4 for the rest.
AP Calc-
AP Chem-
AP Euro-
APES-
AP Lang-
AP Stats-5
AP Physics-4
APUS-Failed</p>
<p>SAT: 1980 on my 1st try. M: 700 V: 700 W: 580->I'm retaking it next month since I didn't do too well (my goal is 2200+)
ACT: 31 (29 with writing)-> I might retake it December since I didn't really study for it last year.</p>
<p>Sports and Clubs:
Varsity Swimming 9-12: I might get MVP or become a captain this year but it's going to be tough since I just moved this year.
JV Track and Field: 9-10
JV Cross Country: 12
SAVE Club: 9-12
Parkour Club: 11 Communications Director
Medical Explorers: 9-11
Global Issues Network: 12
Sok Sabay: 12</p>
<p>I left out the clubs which I didn't care about (and wasn't active).</p>
<p>My plan is to apply to all my reaches this year and ask for a two year deferment if I get in. If I don't get into any of them (which is very likely due to my GPA) I'll reapply to a proper mix of schools two years later while I'm in the army (being in the army should look good on my resume right?)... Looking at my reach school list I actually think I have no chance at all of getting in.
Emory
U San Diego
U Penn
Stanford
Brown
Cornell</p>
<p>What are my chances for the above and can anybody recommend suitable reach schools which I'll actually have a chance of getting in. I'm thinking of a Business related major and a minor in music.</p>
<p>I honestly don’t think you have a shot at any with those scores and GPA. Why don’t you apply to some lower tier schools? It’ll save you the application fees on these unrealistic options.</p>
