Hello College Confidential,
I am currently a senior and will be graduating next summer.
I am applying for the Ivy Leagues and I am really scared that I won’t get accepted into any. I know the UC applications are opening up soon but what are my chances?
I am currently on track for valedictorian, 4.0 unweighted GPA.
I have taken 9 AP courses:
Calculus BC - 5
Biology - 5
Chemistry - 5
U.S. History - 5
Psychology - 5
Computer Science - 5
Statistics - 4 (I don’t know how, still depressed from this)
French - 5
Spanish (Language) - 5

I have done varsity cheer leading for four years, cheer leading co-captain for 2 years, soccer for four years, varsity for three years and captain this year.

I received a 2330 on my SATs, I received 800 on Math, 760 Writing, and 770 on Verbal.
For SAT II, I received 800 on Math Level 2 and 800 for French.

I have been volunteering at my local hospital since my sophomore year and have been shadowing local physicians that own their own practices. I have a total of 470 community hours.

I have also taken Calculus 3 at UOP during the summer along with Physics 1 (Which was extremely difficult). I received an A in Calculus 3 but a B+ in Physics 1.

I just want to know my chances. I feel like I am another person in thousands of applications. That an applicant would need a perfect SAT score in order to be admitted to IV league school.

Thanks! Plus, if there is anyone else out there who would like to be friends and support each other throughout this whole application process, feel free to add me!
