NOT shooting for Ivy but still

Chance Me / Match Me

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I’m going to be senior in high school this fall and I’m wondering about my current status. I’m not shooting for prestigious schools like Ivy Leagues or ones below it like Harvey Mudd. But I’m still looking for good private schools around PA, NY, NJ, and other New England states.</p>

<p>Here are my situation</p>

<p>GPA: Rounds to 4.0; it’s actually like 3.9 something
Classes: Took the highest math class, biology class, chemistry class; now taking physics and there’s no other science; 4 years of history and 4 years of Spanish by the time of graduation; will be taking highest computer class
Class rank: 1/150something (small school in rural area)
SAT: Taken twice; CR 630 + Math 760 + Writing 670 = 2060; CR 640 + Math 740 + Writing 710 = 2090
AP: School only offered Calc AB but I took Calc BC and got 5/5. Planning to take AP Euro and AP Chem though.
SAT IIs: None; Not sure if I HAVE to take them for private colleges?
Sports: Soccer for 3 years; Tennis for 4 years when senior year ends; Golf for senior year
Clubs: Key Club for 3 years; elected for 12th grade representative in senior year; AMC for 3 years; AIME for 2 years; ARML B team for my sophomore year
Volunteer: EMS for over 2 years; planning to take classes for emergency responder; sent application for local library; served as an online moderator for Art of Problem Solving since junior high</p>

<p>I know that my standings are NOT brilliant like 100 hours of volunteer or talented music or sports abilities. But considering my situation in very rural area, I think I have pretty good chance in good private colleges.</p>

<p>Give me your feedback! And if there’s anything that you think I should add more (providing that I CAN do it here), lend me some ideas too.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Looks pretty good but I would try to get some more leadership just in case. Always looks good.</p>

<p>As for SATs II usually colleges like you to take at least 2. For more elite schools and ivies, they like 3. Of course take them in the courses that you have a passion for and you are the strongest in.</p>

<p>That’s a good idea but how? Like what are ways to show leadership characteristics?</p>

<p>I’m not enrolled in Boy Scotts or anything like that.</p>

<p>Oh yeah (edited): I’m in NHS too except I’m just a member (not like secretary, president, or vp)</p>
