It’s not that I am a stupid kid, I have a good gpa. and only honors and AP classes but I am not sure if I should worry too much about taking the ACT again.

I will apply for the class of 2015. Do I have any chance at all?

GPA: 4.0 unweighted, 4.5 weighted
Rank: 18/656, top 3% (may go up)
Class schedule: very rigorous
Senior courses: Spanish III, Eng IV Hon, Physics Hon, AP Stat, AP Calc
AP classes: I will take the Chem and Gov tests in May. Expecting 3 and 4.

Awards: Local writing awards, Rising Sunshine State Scholar

Extracurriculars: Academic team (captain), Math Honor Society (president), NHS (vice president), FIRST Robotics (historian/parts manager)

Service: Relay for life team, tutoring math every week grade 10, 11, and 12; mentoring children-about 80 hours

Recommendations: Pretty good

Essays: I am a great writer, so hopefully great.

SAT score: Low end, 2100 ish
ACT score: Haven’t taken, probably about 30
SAT Subject tests: I have no idea, but also on the low end I assume. (I will be taking Math II and Chem)

Lastly, I am a legacy.

Do I have any shot? I really wish Princeton had an ED.

My thoughts are if I can just raise my test scores I will be relatively competitive.

Thanks.

Okay I am in a dilemma..
Currently, I am a junior in highschool, who gets pretty decent grades (3.5 unweighted GPA first semester, aiming for 4.0 this semester..starting out with all As..right on track ) I am taking a couple of honors, AP, and regular classes. My question is that will only taking the ACT test decrease my chances into getting into universities here in California? with of the competition going around.. (Is it more SAT based or what?) I’m really scared of whats going to happen in the future.. I got a 1400 on my SATs (didn’t study really..) which is like below average..and on practice tests i would get around that same score range..I feel like I will never get a good score on the SATs..
I took the ACT test last week and I felt like I blew through that test. It seemed very easier than the SAT test..I feel more confident with what my ACT score will be , but I don’t wanna say anything until I see the actual score. Should I quit my SAT classes and switch over to ACT classes? Advice would be VERY much appreciated..

ACT: 34
SAT Subject tests:
Math Level 2: 780
Literature: 700
Biology E: 800

GPA: 3.999 weighted (If it makes a difference this semester I recieved all A’s)

Rank: 7/189

I have taken 3 APs in both Junior and Senior years (the maximum our school allows)

My teachers tell me they ranked me highly, and one says she ranked me her highest. My counselor says the same.

I think my essays are well written, my AP Language/Literature teacher thought so.

Notable ECs: 2nd chair in district band, 1st in tricounty. 6 in state math competition. Quite extensive volunteering including tutoring and Habitat for Humanity. NHS member 3 years straight and speaker on character, (there are others but i do not remember them right now.

Do I have a decent shot at an Ivy League school?
I applied to all of the Ivy Schools except for Penn State.

I plan on attending a TX Public/Private college. Possibly Austin college or Rice? and then if I can’t make those then Texas Tech, UTD, or some other college.

What chance do I being accepted in those colleges?

Any advice?
I feel like I’m pretty stupid with my SAT scores and my AP exams and my GPA… and I feel like I am not in enough activities, although I am active in them.

My best scores- a 490 in critacal reading, 540 in math, and 620 in writing. I kno my reading score is horrible, how can i improve in that. (i kno taking the test again you are suppose to get a higher score, the second time i took them my math and reading score went down, but my writing improved by 120 points) Also, what kind of schools would accept a 1650. My gpa is a 3.56

I am trying to get a college scholarship. I am one point away from the required ACT composite score to get the scholarship & I have the GPA. I have taken the ACT multiple times and while my latest score is the highest, one of my past English test scores is higher. How do college’s stack scores? The college I am looking into attending will stack scores only for awarding scholarships.
Are sub-scores for individual subjects taken into consideration for stacking?

Also what are the greatest chances of getting scholarships from that college?

Here’s a short resume.

Is this kind of bad?
I play tennis for fun and I did track in middle school…although I don’t do it now.

I am a junior in high school and a good student, but as a sophomore i slacked off a bit and didn’t do as well as I wanted this first semester as a junior..I got a 4.0 freshman year, but since that doesn’t really count, my combined 10-11 gpa will probably be around 3.7-3.8 weighted.
As for test scores, I will probably get above 2000 on the Sat and 33 on the ACT based on practice tests I have taken.
I don’t really do any sports, I just did cross country in freshman year and track a little while last year. I have many volunteering hours at the hospital. I now am a tutor. I have been on a trip with People to People Student Ambassadors. I am in FBLA and Model Un Clubs.
Do you guys think i have absolutely no chance into getting into Berkeley (where I really want to go) or any of the good UCs?

I’m a junior right now, and I just got my ACT back, but I haven’t gotten my SAT’s back yet.
