Hello guys:

I am going onto becoming a “Sophomore” the following semester. I have taken my first SAT in June. I just have a few questions about my quality for applying to some colleges. First, I have not filed any applications yet, I will do that a year later. But I have made some picks about the colleges to apply. And I would like to know what are my chances of getting in each of the following colleges.


Harvard College
Stanford
Boston College
Rice University
Williams College
UC Berkeley
University of Chicago
Duke University


These 8 are the ones that I have in mind for now. And the following are my record/statistics and ECAs and services.

sorry it’s quite long, and I still have a year of time to add more onto the list. By the way, because I study in an European school, i am putting my emphases on applying to colleges in UK. So I’m not sure if these information are helpful/advantageous for me to apply to US colleges. Also, I am not a very mathematical person, would taking MATH I rather than Math II in subject test affect my chances? I will be writing my essays next year only. What are the general tips and emphasis these colleges put on applicants?

Thanks guys!!
