<p>Hi everyone, assuming someone had these stats, what would be their chances at Top Elite Schools (Ivy league included)? Which ones would be a good fit? Reach? High reach?</p>
<ul>
<li>Highly selective 60 student program in Canada within a normal school.</li>
<li>Average (We don’t have GPA): 92-94% -> Remember that the Canadian and American system are totally different.</li>
<li>Class rank: Top 10% - 20%</li>
<li>Took the most rigorous curriculum available, including Enriched courses (above the normal level) AP Calc, AP English.</li>
<li>SAT: 2200</li>
<li>No legacy</li>
<li>Financial Aid for sure</li>
<li>Income: < %60,000 - Single, unemployed mother</li>
</ul>
<p>Extracurriculars:
- 4 years - Amnesty International Club - Became president in Sophomore year</p>
<ul>
<li><p>3 Years - Stock Market Club Founder/President</p></li>
<li><p>4 years - A small club that fundraises, volunteers and helps the local underprivilaged community - Became president in Sophomore year</p></li>
<li><p>4 years - A club that takes care of (plans, carries out) major events in the school - Became president in Sophomore year - Membership is hard, and is through a selection process by the guidance councillor in charge of the club.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Student Council:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Clubs Manager for Student council </p></li>
<li><p>School President in Junior/Senior Year</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Volunteer Work:
- >1000 hours
4 Years - Volunteer in Hospital - Took leadership position
4 Years - School library volunteer - I started this believe it or not in first year simply to get to know and interact with people at school, but I got hooked.
4 years - Volunteer at a temple
4 years - Volunteer in a local elderly citizen’s home, doing duties she cannot do herself
4 years - Volunteer Accountant/Office Worker at the head Food Bank in the province (Not everyone gets to do this. This is behind closed doors. The usual duties of a volunteer are food sorting)
4 Years - Volunteer with students with learning disabilities</p>
<p>Freshman Year - Project Manager for a Leadership Tracking Sysem that allows students to track their school/community involvement. School has wanted it for the longest time, but no one took the initiative. Helps the school greatly, and is used by all students in the school.</p>
<p>Worked behind the doors of student council, because the entire system of corrupt and nothing was getting done. Turned student council around when elected and got it back on track (something that has not happened in awhile). Was corrupt for the longest time.</p>
<hr>
<p>I would kind of like to know if I am branching myself out too much, kind of becoming a jack of all trades. I just want to say that most of not all of those activities began in Freshman year, and are definately things that I have passion and devotion for, and taken leadership roles in. I devote a lot of time in each, and saying “master of none” definitely doesn’t fit here. But I’m not sure if universities will realize this.</p>
<p>Should I cut down on some of those activities? It will be hard to do, but I guess I can make room if possible. How am I academically?</p>
<p>Could you guys please show me how my stats compare in terms of applying to HYPS? I will not apply to all, if any, but I would just like to know how they compare.</p>
