So I’d say my grades are a mixture of B’s and A’s…in the end I project I’ll have a 3.3 GPA and my goal is to get 2000 or above on SATs…I take a mix of Honors/AP and Regular courses, probably slightly leaning more towards the Honors/AP side

I also have my ECs

President of Class for 3 years
President of School 1 Year
Prominent Position in Student Government for 3 years
President of Model Congress
Led a Darfur Activist Group
Executive VP of an IDF support group
Active member in Business Club and possibly midlevel board position
Community Service in Africa 1 summer
Produced TV shows for my school district’s cable TV station
Editor on newspaper for 3 years, possibly high level editing position 1 year
Wrote for local newspaper
Played on freshman Basketball team
Have spoken at the capitol Albany in favor of preventing gun violence and will continue to do so

Intern with my Assemblywoman for 4 years where I have received much praise from many of the local people I have worked with on her behalf (probably will also w/ congressman and or senator) and I also interned at the Royal United Services Institute “think-tank” for one summer

I took courses at Columbia University one summer and may take classes at another high level university in the future

Most likely will have great interviews and outstanding recommendations and most likely a great essay

My concern is that my GPA will be too low, but other than that everything seems to be in my favor…I’m a smart kid, but the high school setting isn’t for me…in fact at times I feel it dumbs me down…I’m more of a leader/thinker

So based on the above, which has happened or chances are will happen what do you feel my chances of getting into the below schools are?? I’m currently a sophomore

Dreams: Haverford, Amherst, Brown, Columbia, Bowdoin, Georgetown, Michigan

Targets: Binghamton, Maryland, Wisconsin, Penn. St., NYU, Boston College, etc…

I am looking to Major in Political Science/Government…maybe the schools above aren’t for me, but I’m just trying to get an idea

Of course I’m unaware of SAT II/AP scores yet and don’t no about receiving many honors yet

I know I still have plenty of time and things that I need to accomplish, but I’m curious as to where you guys think I’m at currently??
