Chance me

Chance Me / Match Me

<p>I’m a junior, looking at Georgia Tech (is a grandparent legacy?), Duke (legacy), Stanford. Do I have a chance? </p>

<p>I’m in Georgia.</p>

<p>GPA UW: 4.0, the majority of my classes are honors/ap but I don’t really know what my weighted GPA is
Rank: 7/350 as of the end of sophmore year, but it will probably go up, maybe 1-3
My junior PSAT was 80/68/64 (212), my sophmore was 76/70/76 (222).
I’m hoping to get above 2300 on the SAT.</p>

<p>I’ve taken nearly the most rigorous courses available, and will have 5 APs by the end of Junior year and 9 or 10 at the end of Senior year. </p>

<p>My ECs are, all of them starting junior year:
National Honors Society
Habitat for Humanity
Science Olympiad
Beta Club</p>

<p>I realize my ECs kind of suck. I’m wondering if there is any way to improve them.</p>

<p>Other schools I’m considering are:
Harvard
other Ivys
Berkeley
MIT
Caltech
Johns Hopkins
Emory
University of Chicago
Northwestern</p>

<p>Addendum -
I’ve also done some work for a software company for a few years, and I could probably get a recommendation from there. I do get paid, though.</p>

<p>Yes, grandparent is usually considered a legacy. In order to have an advantage in admissions, though, you have to get them to join the alumni association! (jk, although it couldn’t hurt)</p>

<p>Good shot at GA Tech, Duke, John Hopkins, Emory.</p>

<p>The others you’ll need awesome extracurrics for. So go Take a 5 minute break and cure cancer. Or get a decent internship in the field you plan on majoring in, and become more active in your school, and show off your abilities at the hoghest levels of competition possible. Your choice.</p>
