<p>Hello! I have finally finished my applications and just want a fair chance of how many schools I could expect to get into.</p>

<p>Stats:</p>

<p>GPA: 4.0 UW, 2/500
ACT: 34 (35 E, 35 M, 34 R, 32 S) plus another 34 ACT with 35 Science
SAT: 2240 (790 Math, 710 CR, 740 W)
SAT II: 800 World History, 770 Chem, 770 Math 2
AP: 5 Chem, 5 USH, 5 English Lit
Awards: QB Finalist, a few local and state music awards</p>

<p>Extra: Drum Major of Marching Band, First Chair flute in several bands, organized a charity event, student government, a few academic teams, etc
Income: <40,000
Languages: Native English and Arabic
Essays: Story about my dad being sick and learning to take care of myself for common app, supplements varied from speaking about coming to terms with my sexuality to my experiences in band.</p>

<p>Applying to: All Ivies, Duke, Vassar, Wesleyan, University of Illinois Urbana
Intended Major: Chemistry/Chemical Engineering</p>

<p>While I understand that it’s impossible to predict exactly where I would be accepted, would it be improbable to say that I could get into at least one Ivy?</p>

<p>(I’m a guy)</p>

<p>I definitely think that you’d be competitive for all the Ivies. I wouldn’t be surprised if you got into Cornell. However, you know it’s all chance when you have stats like yours… sort of depends on your ECs also. Good luck!

<p>This is really going to come down to your essays, since you’ve got great stats but weak ECs. Best of luck!(:</p>

<p>Thanks. And are my EC’s really that bad, or just in comparison to everyone else not spectacular?</p>
