I am currently in the tenth grade. I have taken the highest possible classes available; all honors thus far. I have doubled-up in math this year, taking Algebra II and Precalculus. I just took the PSAT.

Basically, I want to know if I am on the right track to getting accepted into an ivy or ivy-measurable. Also, tell me possible schools for reach, match, and safety.

STATS:

SATIhoping 1400+)
SATII:
PSAT/NMSQTtook in oct., hoping for a 1350+)
Classes:
9th grade- honors Geometry
honors World History
honors Intro to Chem/Physics
honors English
German II
10th grade- honors Algebra II
honors English-writing
honors Biology
honors U.S. History
honors Precalculus
honors German 4 (skipped German 3, will this help me or hurt me--I love GERMAN!)

(What sucks is my school doesn't have AP's until junior year, I have been taking the most advanced courses available, so until junior year, I will have to deal with honors.)


GPA in 9th: 4.0 unweighted
4.6313 weighted (health, gym, and electives brought it down. Expecting 4.8 by graduation)

GPA in 10th: Do not know yet, but I have all A's
Class Rank: 7/719 (will definately go up because I have 6 honors this year as compared to the 4 I had last year. Most certainly 1/719 when first semester is over)

Extra-curriculars:
Varsity Swimming (9-12)
FBLA (9-12)
German club (10-12)
Community service for blood center (many hours)
Community service for summer swim team (2 hours a day, every day)

If you end up with a near 4.0uw and a 1400 with good ECs, essays, and recs, then you certainly have a great shot at all those schools listed with the possible exception of Yale. It's too early to tell, but just make sure to devote your time to something you care about and continue to keep up the good grades.
