<p>SAT: 2200 math: 760 reading: 740 writing:700</p>

<p>GPA: 4.0 uw 4.8 w class rank 30/480 (very competitive highschool)</p>

<p>ECs:
all-state orchestra
duke youth strings orchestra
varsity soccer 4 yrs
club soccer 4 yrs
National Honor society
spanish honor society
habitat for humanity
fundraising club officer
200+ volunteer hours (unc hosp.) </p>

<p>Top choices: Duke, Northwestern, UNC, WashU(st. Louis), Upenn, HYP</p>

<p>Good list of schools, although I don’t understand the rank–</p>

<p>you are 4.0 UW, 4.8 W and only have a rank of 30/480? </p>

<p>Either your school grades easier than a kindergarten teacher or the competition at your school is absolutely unbelievable intense.</p>

<p>we were ranked in top 50 by newsweek and ik the class of 2007 has at least 10-15 going to ivies</p>

<p>5-harvard (ED only so far)
at least 2 upenn, 1 yale, 2 princeton, and 2 cornell</p>

<p>what are you looking for in a college? size? location? politics?</p>

<p>You’re within range for pretty much any school, including those on your list, but there’s definitely nothing special enough there to guarantee you’ll be accepted to one of them, so be sure to find plenty of matches and safeties where you’d be happy. </p>

<p>I get a pretty definite vibe about the type of colleges you prefer from your current list, but they mostly aren’t the ones I’m particularly interested in, so I don’t have much insight as to what less selective schools with similar profiles would be.</p>
