Jr. Looking for Chance Information

Chance Me / Match Me
1

<p>I am a Jr and would welcome any thoughts on my chances at these schools noting that I have made some assumptions
• SAT: Taking in June but likely will only submit ACT w/SAT II’s unless
the SATs are over 2100
• SAT IIs: Taking this Sat (Math II. Chem and Physics) and anticipate
being over 700 on each
• ACT: 31 Composite, 32 “Super” Composite, 33 Math, 35 Science
• GPA: 3.6ish UW (now) with upward trend and lots of honors AP
courses. Should be 3.8ish UW end of Senior Yr.
• Rank: Top 12% probably Top 10% by the end of my Junior year
• Rigor - By End of Senior Year I will have taken 6 AP Course (Physics
(as a Jr.), Calculus, World History, Chemistry & Biology) and 11
Honors Courses. Also have 15 credits from a local college for
courses (Math/History) taken as a Freshman and Sophomore.
• EC – TKD Black Belt, part time job, 3 years Track, Biology Club,
etc. Will be adding in volunteer work in the upcoming summer.
• Essays – I’m guessing they will be really good but I assume
everyone thinks that.
• School Type: Competitive NJ Public School
• Recommendations – Top level if I can believe what they tell me</p>

<p>My current list, and how I think they apply, includes the following as I plan to study Astronomy/Physics:</p>

<p>Univ. of Chicago – Super Reach
Columbia – Super Reach
Cornell – Reach (low or high?)
Univ. of Michigan – Reach (low or high?)
UC – Santa Barbara (Reach only because I’m out of state)
UC – San Diego (Reach only because I’m out of state)
McGill – Match
Univ. of Illinois - Match
Univ. of Maryland (College Pk) - Match
Ohio State - Match
Univ. of Wisconsin (Madison) – Match
Univ. of Boston – Match
Univ. of Colorado (Boulder) – Safety
Penn State – Safety
Rutgers – Safety</p>

<p>Okay. I wouldn’t say Univ of Chicago/Columbia are SUPER reach. If you get 2100+ on SAT or at least in that range. It’d be a reach. But not SUPER reach. There’s a chance. Cornell is a reach, but not super either. A fair reach. </p>

<p>I’d actually say UMich is a mid-range for you. UCSB/UCSD you are right, reach because of OoS. The res tseem pretty good :slight_smile: You have your colleges pretty set in my opinion.</p>

<p>“Taking in June but likely will only submit ACT w/SAT II’s unless

<p>I was in a similar predicament. Unfortunately, the College board sends all of your scores, so if you send SAT IIs they will get your SAT Reasoning score.</p>
