Okay sooooo, I am applying to 11 schools: NYU, Northwestern, Georgetown, Dartmouth, Columbia, Barnard, Brown, Cornell, UPenn, UChicago, American and I want to know if I have a chance of at least getting into a few.
So here we go:
I have a 5.3 weighted GPA (out of a 5.6) and am top 3% of my class of over 800 students, unweighted 3.82, all IB/AP courses (8 APs and 7 IB courses so far) and all perfect scores on my exams except for one (seven 5s and one 7 in an IB course) (4 in AP lang because I was sick the day of).
I have a state position within a Youth Government program and am an executive member at a state level (the program has about 700 people total). I am also literary editor of a Literary magazine, published four times and won a national award from the CSPA (Columbia Scholastic Press association) this year for one of my pieces. On a lower level, I am on the board for Rho Kappa (but I really love it lol).
I’m a first generation Latina, both parents are immigrants and one was educated within the United States.
Here’s where things go downhill. My highest SAT score is 1370. I’m retaking it this Saturday but I don’t feel very confident that my score will improve by that much. I just wanted to know what my prospects for college might be/any advice, because while I know SAT scores matter I don’t know if it’s that bad that I won’t get in anywhere. Anything helps, thank youuuu
