<p>Hi, </p>

<p>I’m currently a junior in HS, and I already know which colleges I want to apply to and what my major will be. I am doing pretty decent in HS now, as I have the past few years. I am taking the SAT in May, and the ACT in June. Here are some statistics to help you with my chances:</p>

<p>Grade 11 (thus far–midyear grades)
Honors British Literature: 95
Honors Chemistry: 86
Honors Spanish IV: 89
Honors US History II: 81 (the teacher went to Columbia U and NYU, so he is a really strict and intensive teacher, but he is writing one of my recommendations)
Honors Film Studies: 94

<p>Grade 12 (classes)
AP English Lit
AP US History
Honors Physics
American Government (they don’t offer honors)

<p>Extracurricular Activities, Community Service, Job Experience
Debate Team
Mock Trial Team

<p>Colleges I’m Applying to, in order of most desired

  1. Ohio State University
  2. University of Illinois–Urbana
  3. University of Texas–Austin
  4. University of California–San Diego
  5. University of Wisconsin–Madison
  6. Northeastern University (I have a legacy there–dad, mom, grandfather, and cousin went and graduated from there)
  7. University of Massachusetts–Amherst (I live in MA, so this is my safe school)
  8. Temple University (safe school)</p>

<p>Do I have a chance at any of these? Thanks for your help!</p>

<p>Depending on your SAT scores (if it’s around 2100+) and if that’s your unweighted GPA, then probably all of them except UCSD might be a reach. Don’t stress too much. If you get a 2200+, then you’re making it into all of those schools. Write a nice essay, get some good recs, and also what’s your ethnicity? That could either help/hurt you.
UCs weigh a TON on SAT scores, so… also, what state do you live in? If you don’t live in Cali, you probably have a greater chance, because UCs are accepting more out of state students (because of the higher tuition rates that they have to pay), so you might have an advantage there…</p>

<p>Chance me? I’d appreciate it, thanks (:

<p>I live in Massachusetts. My SATs I am looking at to be 1900-2000. My recs will be amazing (my history teacher is writing one–he is a NYU and Columbia U. grad, and he typically writes 5-6 pages per rec, especially if you do Mock Trial and Debate for him, which I do). I am white, but am 1st generation college student. My mom is an immigrant from Brasil, and my grandparents immigrated from Portugal.</p>

<p>wouldn’t ur mom being from brasil make u hispanic?</p>

<p>That’s what my mom is telling me to put on my application. My grandparents are from Portugal, so we are all Portuguese. She just happens to have been born in Brasil. </p>

<p>What are my chances?</p>
