Hi, I posted a thread like this a while ago, but since my SAT scores have changed significantly I’ve decided to create a new thread.

I attend a pretty competitive public high school that is top ten in my state and send kids to Ivies.
My school doesn’t rank, but I’m definitely at least top 10%

UW GPA: 3.73 (without elective classes that would boost UW GPA)
My freshman year was pretty bad (3.53) but my sophomore and Junior years were better (3.8 and 3.83 respectively).
Weighted: 4.5/5.4 (Without electives that would bring down Weighted GPA) Also, some of my classes like Spanish and Freshman history are unweighted an lower my weighted GPA because there is no honors option for them.

Course Rigor: All honors with 4 APs Junior year (You can’t take APs until Junior year in my school) I’ve taken the hardest option for every subject and have never had a study hall.

SAT I: 1520/1600 CR+M, 2320 CR+M+W
SAT IIs: 800 Chemistry, 790 Biology M, 710 Math II
(Retaking Math II in October)

ECs:

What do you guys think are my chances if I apply ED or RD?

Thanks.
