I’m applying to a few selective schools, and was curious to see what my odds are, roughly speaking.
My list is UPenn (ED), Tufts, Duke, Northwestern, and Cornell, and UNC
GPA 4.0 unweighted, 4.86/4.3 UW
Rank 7/475
ACT 34 writing 10/12
ECs:
Captain of swim team
Captain debate team
Secretary Key Club
Band/pit orchestra
Karate
150+ hours community service
Your EC’s and academics are stellar, but they will only get your foot in the door (average for these schools). Make sure your essays really shine.
