CHANCE ME PLEASE :) mcgill, columbia, tufts..

<p>heey guys i’m a rising junior
my dream colleges are:
-mcgill
-university of toronto
-columbia university
-cornell university
-NYU
-Tufts
-WashU </p>

<p>buut with my grades i highly doubt i will get into any of those… :frowning:
i live in hk (just…fyi)</p>

<p>here’s my… “transcript”
basically i screwed up my freshmen year so my gpa was pretty dangg low </p>

<p>freshmen:
~biology (hons)
sophomore:
~chemistry (hons)
junior:
~ap world (hoping for a 4/5)
~ap econ (most likely a 5)
senior: (thinking of taking)
~ap calc AB (most likely a 5)
~ap enviro (most likely a 5)
~ap stat/ap eng lit (most likely a 4/5)</p>

<p>my cumulative gpa is around 3.5…
oh and SAT scores i’m guessing it should be around 1900-2000
what do you guys think?</p>

<p>Just so you know, chance threads are not accurate at all. No one on CC can tell you that you’re into a school.</p>

<p>There is advice that I can give to you however.</p>

<p>For WUSTL, Cornell, Columbia, Tufts, your stats don’t cut it. Unless you’re an athlete looking to be recruited or an URM, you should aim to have 2200+ and 3.8+ gpa. Of course it is not set in stone that you need these exact stats, but the majority of other applicant applying to those schools will have impressive stats.</p>

<p>You cannot get into college with scores alone. I hope that you have a list of ECs you participate in that you are passionate about or you will come off as a very boring applicant.</p>
