<p>any other school recommendations?
interested in majoring in psychology and biology</p>
<p>I’m assuming you’re a junior
for you current status,projecting you might get a 1450~1500+ (V+M)
Adequate EC’s
Class Course Selection: Though you’re taking a good number of AP’s, I recommend you to take the classes that are relevant to you planned future study (i.e. what department are you applying for) because it really helps a lot to do so if you want to get in those “very decent” schools. Focus on taking AP sciences and maths if you wanna do engineering, AP english and SS if you wanna do LSA…etc
Finally…chances
Northwestern-low reach/match
Washington University in St. Louis-low reach/match
Emory (legacy)-match
University of Georgia-safety
UPenn …<em>twitch</em>-low reach/high reach depending on you SATs
Recommendations:
please tell me what department or field you wanna study in…
otherwise it’s just complete rank-wise good schools!</p>
<p>University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
University of Washington-Seattle
Johns Hopkins University
Rice University
Cornell University
Williams College
Carnegie Mellon Univ.
These are the ones I have in mind for now…
hope it helps good luck and keep working hard! tell me if you need further help</p>
<p>You have a decent shot at all those schools, however, if I were to “predict” the outcome:</p>
<p>Northwestern: accepted
Washington University in St. Louis: waitlisted
Emory (legacy): accepted
University of Georgia: accepted
UPenn …<em>twitch</em> : rejected</p>
<p>I mostly agree with the above posters except in the case of Northwestern. I think it’s a bit harder to get in than people are saying and especially for Asians. Your essays/recs will definitely be a determining factor for NU. UPenn is prolly a rejection because they tend to take mostly students in the top 5 of their class. Everything else looks good. Good luck!</p>
