Hey everyone!
So I’m an upcoming freshman and i wanted to know what my chances are for getting into a good ivy or other top 20 college. I am Indian ( i am simply stating this because i know this is taken into account for admissions ) I am going to attend Delbarton a top 50 private school and it was even once rated as 9th best in the country. I am a straight A student. I play tennis and plan to play at my school’s varsity team which is very competitive and is almost always in the top 5 of the state. I have been playing piano for 5 years ( so about 9 after high school ) I also plan to join clubs such as the debate club where my school is nationally recognized and other clubs as well. With all of that i also plan to enter science olympiads and math olmpiads. Now i know that is about average for an ivy applicant, but what i think will set me apart is that i am going to do a summer research project at UMDNJ for at least 2 years as i wish to pursue a career in the medical field.
So what do you think about my chances, and please be honest.
Thanks in advance!
