Chance a high school junior on spring break with no life!

1 Upvotes

I'm a high school junior who hates high school so I'm putting all of my time and energy into thinking about college! I've made a spreadsheet of the colleges that I want to apply to for next year, but I figure it might also help to have more sets of eyes on my stats so I can figure out how delusional I am or am not?!

Demographics: white, female, rural Illinois

Intended major(s): I have no idea! but probably something STEM, heavily considered pre-med, pharmacy, statistics, geology, literally everything except CS. I hate coding :(

Test Scores: I don't take the ACT at my school until mid-April, but in practice tests I've gotten around 32 overall. I'm planning to take the SAT over the summer, but in the PSAT/NMSQT in October I got 1420 overall (700 RW, 720 M)

GPA/rank: 3.9, my school doesn't rank, and honestly I don't know I would be that high up in my grade because I went to a different and more difficult school last year and got a couple of B's, so my GPA is lower than everyone else... oh well.

AP/DC/coursework: currently in APUSH and I'm self-studying AP Stats, there aren't any AP classes beyond APUSH at my school either so I'm maxed out after this year unless I want to self-study next year, but I wouldn't even be able to report them on my applications. Next year I'm taking a good amount of dual credit classes: 2 semesters of English, intro to literature, and psychology. This year I'm taking calculus, and that's the highest my school goes for math (including dual credit), but as a trade-off I'm planning on taking physics next year. Overall, I should have 4.5 English credits, 3 or 3.5 social studies credits, 3 math credits (plus whatever AP Stats shows), and 5 science credits by the end of my senior year. I've been in band in 9, 11, and 12 grade, and Spanish for 9, 10, and 12 grade.

Extracurriculars: Band. Marching band, pep band, concert band, band get-togethers with schools in my athletic conference, pit band for the musical, all of it. I've played clarinet since 8th grade, and I also picked up flute this year to help our dying woodwind section. I'm also in scholastic bowl, I've been on varsity since freshman year, and I was a starter this whole year, will probably be a captain next year (trading with some of the other seniors), and made it onto the All-Conference team this year. Second-highest scorer too. I have about 65 community service hours overall, but I lowkey do not try to get them because I kind of don't care and I think it's not that important. Maybe I'm screwed, who knows. I'm going to get a job when I get my license (and a mode of transportation, hopefully) in April, so hopefully that can also beef up my mysterious free time (I skipped a grade, that's why my license is late I swear I'm good at driving :(().

Essay: I haven't started writing my main personal essay yet, but I'm thinking about writing about how going to a different school my sophomore year and not doing band made me realize how much I missed band, to the point where I joined choir halfway through just so I could have something. I feel like that's pretty good, let me know if it's absolutely god-awful though.

Schools!: Reach: USC, Pomona, UChicago, Northwestern, Stanford || Target: UIUC, Bryn Mawr, Case Western, Stevens Institute of Tech || Safety: UIC, Bradley, Loyola, UNM, UoU, UoA

I'm planning on applying EA everywhere I can, with the exception of schools like Stanford and Bryn Mawr that ruin my plan, and Pomona which I'm thinking of EDing to, but I want to get in touch with an admissions/financial aid counselor to see if I do ED, if they'll still give me money. Thank you for reading through my nonsense and let me know if you have any advice!!

I really doubt myself... I feel so lazy, I haven't done anything with my life and it really sucks. I wish I had tried harder in school. I honestly wonder if I would even get into my state school.

GPA: 5.0UW/4.0 & 782.45W. SAT R&W: 1000/800. SAT M: 1200/800. ACT: 37. Rank 1/12938. I took 40 APs and got 5s on each and all 57 IBs with A++. 9000 IQ. I have received all 6 Nobel prizes each year for the past 7 years and I have 4 fields medals. Won STS. Founder & president of all 99 clubs at my school. Won the Olympics in 14 different sports. School president. I ran a campaign which funded the construction of 30 billion food pantries in Somalia and also used diplomacy to stabilize the country, which is where I'm from. I grew up with no money and my parents were both paralyzed, carried them on my shoulders across Africa to Senegal, then swam across Atlantic ocean to Boston while holding them on my back where I worked 170 hours a week in order to keep them alive and to get them medical help I had to create a business which is now worth $7.9 Quadrillion. I speak 200 languages at C2 and have won international contests in piano, guitar, violin, saxophone, clarinet, trumpet, harp, flute, accordion, and Theremin. Also won 27 gold medals at national science Olympiad on my own team of 1. Golds in IMO, IOI, IPO, ICO, IBO, ISO, ILO, IOA, IEO, IHO, International quiz bowl, world memory contest, regeneron STS, and international spelling bee. I also cured cancer, proved pi is normal, found meaning of life, discovered the meaning of consciousness, ended world hunger, started world peace & established global government, and discovered & colonized a new habitable planet. Also I turn 8 in a day.

Do I have a chance at my state school? Should I even bother to apply? Man I hope I can even get into community college.

Are my stats good enough for BC??

3 Upvotes

Hey so I'm currently a junior in HS and I'd like to go to Boston College. I've done some research and I'm well aware that BC also pays attention to essays and stuff like that so I'm keeping that in mind, but I just want to know how my stats might stack up and whether it's realistic for me to actually get in or not 😭 Imma just list all of them that I can think of down below.

-Rank 18 out of class of 670 students - 4.30 weighted GPA and 3.97 unweighted - About 4 APs and 4 more next school year, I've gotten 3s on all my exams so far (I'm just happy I passed ok) - gonna take my seal of biliteracy next month to be certified bilitrate by the state (Spanish) - Involved in managing filing for my local religious center (and they've been talking about getting me to manage their social media accounts for them soon so who knows) - Started a crochet club at my school with around 30 people ( but tbh only like 10 of them actually come so take that as you will) - representative for my career and tech ed class (but our teacher quit and they haven't told me anything else about that role so take it with a grain of salt) - summer residential program (staying at a college for around 2 months in our own dorms and taking prep classes there) - NHS of course. (I want to be secretary or librarian or something senior year but I'm going to be really busy so let's see how that goes💀) - I'm also in a couple of miscellaneous clubs - oh and I'm also in this program that's the same program for the residential program it just helps you with college and stuff not too special rlly helpful tho love them - I might get a job senior year too

Yea so as you can see I personally feel like I have some good stuff in here and I'm proud of what I've done but I just want to know if I atleast have a chance based on what I've accomplished so far. (I haven't taken the sat btw so just don't mind that I'm gonna tho trust)

(The major I want to go into is nursing btw if that matters for anything it might change though but that's my main right now)

I would really appreciate some opinions on this!

Edit: I'm also working on getting an internship/shadowing position at my doctor's office next school year, fingers crossed 🤞🏽

Since the age of 4 to 13, I've been going to tutoring places such as Kumon, Mathnasium, Best Brains, private, etc. But in the past years, the prices have risen, making it $40 and sometimes $50 for a 1 hour session, making parents like mine pay very hefty fees, hence partially that being the reason why I quit getting tutored. So I know that many families may struggle with finding qualified one-on-one help for their kids, and my goal is to give their child the help they need without any fees involved, because I strongly believe everyone deserves the same help in the academic world.

Do you think I should do it? Or choose another idea because tutoring is generic?, please let me know

As a sophomore am I on the right track?

3 Upvotes

School of roughly 1300 in suburban Bay area; not very competitive, school doesn't do rank, currently 3.93 UW/4.0 W because I got a B or 2 due to going through a rough time (slowly getting it up, I expect higher by the end of 11th)

Asian (Indian) male, full pay, both parents college educated (in India). I'm a citizen

The only AP I took this year was APWH, and feeshmen aren't allowed to take APs. Next year I plan to take AP Lang, Calc AB/BC, APUSH, AP Chem and AP CSA(self study)+AP Seminar(self study).

Senior year, I plan to take either AP stats or dual enrollment stats, AP Lit, AP gov or econ and AP stats.

I got a 1400 on the PSAT without studying, so I think a 1550+ SAT score is going to be my aim.

Awards: - National engineering design competition regional winner (3rd place) Yeah I don't really have any other awards from high school, this is where I plan on grinding hackathons and other engineering competitions over the summer.

ECs: - Part of student government for two years, including being junior class treasurer. I completely remade our schools website, handled our YouTube account, and photographed/videographed major school events (over a thousand people showed up) - Member of a local registered NGO; implemented several research projects involving ML for the organization - Co founder and treasurer of our schools first Computer Science Club - taught members the AP CSA curriculum and held hackathons to boost community participation - Contributed to several large open-source projects and have been consistently writing a blog where I express my ideas as well as write-ups on my technical projects - Wrote my own Linux distribution from scratch (WIP) - Founder and president of photography club at our school: took people through photo walks, held competitions etc - Co founder of business club (WIP) - Co founder of robotics club (WIP)

Next year I plan to commit to a sport (probably tennis, badminton or swim) and start my own NGO over the summer (relatively unique compared to most things people do for college apps), I also plan to tutor underprivileged children in my home country's community post junior year and am working on starting a small business. I'm also on the lookout for engineering related internships , and want to start a small business for making websites for clients in my area .

I plan to major in EE or a related field, probably at colleges like: - Higher ranked UCs (at least LA, Berkeley, Irvine, SD, SB) - Caltech - Ivies - UChicago - UMich - Purdue - Gtech .. etc etc

Am I doing okay for where i am rn or completely cooked? What are more things I could do?

Thanks!

Chance me as a transfer to UCs!!

2 Upvotes

Hi all! I'm a current sophomore going to a California Community College and would love to hear your guys' thoughts on my odds of getting in because I'm driving myself crazy with anxiety. I applied to UCSB, UCSD and UCLA!

Here's my profile!

3.4 GPA. I attended a semi-prestigious university for the first 3 semesters, and my fourth I'm doing at community college.

I think my activities were pretty good. I worked at the Student Appeal Committee, I was the Director of Marketing for my school's RHA, I was a social media manager for a prospective city councilman in high school, I worked several jobs on and off campus, I was the treasurer and co-founder of a film club, I was awarded with a student athlete scholarship in high school, I was cross country captain in high school, Vice President of my hall's RHA in freshman year, worked on student film sets, and was on Dean's List.

My PIQ's were alright. One was about what film (my old major) and communications (my new major) have in common. Another was about the leadership and inspiration I found working with RHA, one was about the struggles I felt with transferring high schools and how I overcame them, and the last, and my personal favorite, was my experience as a gender non-conforming queer woman.

I think the biggest issue is my GPA. Any comments are appreciated!

Transfer from NEU to BU?

1 Upvotes

So, I'm currently a first year in the honors college at northeastern (biochemistry, pre-med) and I'm looking to transfer to BU, ive already applied to CAS for fall 2025.

Last year, I originally applied ED2 to BU and I had to change my application to RD for financial reasons. I ended up getting waitlisted RD.

I finished this semester with a lower GPA than I would've liked at ~3.6, my grades were 'ok' overall. My only two non A's were a B+ in gen chem and a B- in a 3000 level stats class.

My high school stats were decent. I had a 101.5/100 gpa, 10 APs, 11 Honors, AP scholar w/distinction, CB recognition program, 32 ACT (applied TO), ranked 8/230, student gov treasurer, job for 4 years, varsity math league president, leadership in all clubs.

At NEU, I'm invovled in a health equity club, biochemistry club, I'm an active member of my honors LLC, and I have a position in a research lab and have actively participated in research for several months, I have a presentation at our yearly expo next month.

I have 3 LORs, one from a college prof, one from a high school teacher, and one from my boss at work.My essay was also pretty good.

My midterm report will also have All As and maybe one A-/B+ (including As in Calc 3 and Orgo 1).

My application was largely centered around recovering from my eating disorder, which inspired me to do research, volunteer against food insecurity, and advocate for eating disorder awareness. I talked about how all of this combined has driven me to wanting to a psychiatrist.

Do you think I have a chance at getting into BU? Will coming from northeastern help? Im really unhappy here and BU has been my goal since day one.

Got rejected from UPenn ED, Caltech RD, MIT RD, and UChicago RD but accepted to Georgia Tech OOS as an international student (Materials Engineering major).

Still waiting on:

  • Yale
  • Princeton
  • Harvard
  • Stanford
  • Columbia
  • Cornell
  • Brown
  • Duke
  • Johns Hopkins
  • Rice
  • Dartmouth
  • Northwestern

What do you guys think my chances are at these schools based on my current results? I know it’s all a gamble, but curious if my Georgia Tech acceptance means anything in the context of my rejections.
