<p>I originally posted this on the chance me thread but got only 2 reviews. Since no one is responding to my now defunct chance me thread, I hope there are enough of you with hearts to give me a decent look on this thread.</p>

<p>4.52 weighted</p>

<p>9 AP courses taken by graduation</p>

<p>SAT: 2140 ( 750 M, 680 CR, 710 W) will be taking one more time Oct</p>

<p>ACT: 34 (33 reading, 34 math, 33 writing, 36 science)</p>

<p>The schools I’m looking at</p>

<p>Harvard
Columbia
UPenn
U Chicago
Northwestern
Tufts
Wesleyan
WUSTL
Rice
Georgetown</p>

<p>I didnt write down my EC’s because I feel that they are good enough to give away my identity.</p>

<p>I am nationally ranked in one of them.</p>

<p>Everything looks okay(given that you’re going to improve your SAT score), but it is hard to tell without the ECs. But your stats look solid.</p>

3

<p>which are you nationally ranked in? sports? math/science competitions?</p>

4

<p>dude. no one cares about your identity. And how would a EC give away an identity anyway? Are you like in some asian club?</p>

<p>Rferns - dude your scores are good. I wish I had your M + CR. You are applying to very selective colleges. So first of all much depends upon your AP scores. For the schools you are applying to you’ll need 5’s and 4’s. Anything less will hurt. And second, it would really be a plus to get your CR score above a 700. Hopefully you got the Q and A service so you can analyze your strengths and weaknesses. If Level 4 and 5 vocabulary is a problem then check out Direct Hits Vocabulary Volume 2. The last two chapters have 100 Level 5 words. This list generated a ton of hard question hits on the March and June SATs.
If the passages are a problem then consider Grammatix for strategies. Many on this board recommend Barrons 2400. I tried to order a copy from Amazon but the new edition won’t be shipped until August 5th.</p>
