hello hello, well i'm the typical confused high school soul who has recently come to the realization that the college process isn't quite so easy. Well, below i've listed my stats and ECs. i don't quite have a set college list but i do have a few ideas of where i would LIKE to go.

So my question is: Where do i fall? I've realized that Yale and Princeton are probably TOO large of a reach but what about school like Cornell, Brown, or Johns Hopkins? Realistic??

You have a very different GPA scale, so I cannot quite totally evaluate you. Is it out of 100?
Also, your EC are strong and try to do really well senior year.

yeahh, our gpa is calculated out of 100
with honors and ap classes being +5 points
when converting it to the 4.0 scale, all i know is that a 95 is equal to a 4.0

and haha yes i do hope to do much better senior year
