Chance Me / Match Me
1

HI! I would like to apply to an Ivy, but I’m not sure which would best suit me. I am a STEM major looking into pre-dentristry or pre-optometry but also enjoy classes in history, english, and foreign languages. I have just finished my junior year of high school. Here are my stats so far:

Rank: 6/442
GPA (weighted): 105.521
PSAT: percentile- 98, score- 1360, index number 209 (live in Texas)
SAT (10th grade, old scale): 2040
SAT (just took again, new format, predicted score): 1500
ACT (about to take, predicted score): 32

Clubs: Interact Club, UIL Current Events, UIL History, UIL Literary Criticism, 1 year JV Swimming Team, 3 years Varsity Choir, 1 year Show Choir, 3 years Mixed Choir, 3 years Mu Alpha Theta, NHS

Awards/Leadership Positions: 3 years State Solo and Esemble for choir, Student of Character Award, NHS Historian, Choir Historian, (AP Scholar Award- prediction), NHRP candidate

AP Coursework:
Taken: AP World History (4), AP Computer Science (1, yikes!), AP Calculus AB (predicted 3), AP Physics 1 (predicted 3), AP Chemistry (predicted 3), AP Lang (predicted 5), APUSH (predicted 5)
Will Take: AP Bio, AP Government, AP Environmental Science, AP Lit, AP Cal BC

Talents: Synesthesia

For Ivys, the larger schools are preferable, but I’m becoming more open-minded.

This is what I can think of off the top of my head. All of these college stats can get quite overwhelming! Thank you for your input and advice! :wink:

Are you interested in liberal arts colleges also? For example Amherst, and Carleton college, but each are 2,000 or smaller and you prefer a larger campus. They are almost in the same league as ivys.

@NerdyGirl this might help you navigate through your undergraduate classes if you have your eyes on optometry :sunglasses: http://www.opted.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/ASCO-Prerequisites-May-2016.pdf You should still go to the individual school websites and look for extra classes that they require. For example, I think that Berkeley is the only optometry school that requires an immunology class in undergrad.
