I've also done alot of community awards and won alot of city and orchestral awards. My community and service and awards stretch over 3 pages on my resume.

Do I have a chance of getting into Rice University, Harvard University, Yale University, Princeton University, Baylor University (Texas), Brown University? Please help me. I'm going through this a tough situation. If there is anything I need to improve upon, please tell me.

Please inform me if I have any chances in those schools, thank you for reading and have a nice day!

PSS- If you have any tips on doing well on the SAT and PSAT's, it would be appreciated.

I might go to:

Reach: Rice University (Science Major), Baylor University, or Tulane Univ.

Medium: Washington Univ., Trinity Univ., Texas A&M, Austin, Dallas, or Houston.

Back up: The other schools... that WILL accept me.

I'm not sure what my placement is at my school, but I will be getting them later in the fall. I will be sure to post it as soon as I get them. About my grades, I'm planning to make straight A's this year, so! best of luck to me.

If I can't attend an Ivy League school, then I will attend Trinity University or Baylor University in Waco, Texas. They've already talked to me and they'd like to have me apart of their school. Surprisingly, Yale gave me a call asking me to check out their school. I want to Master in Musical Performance (Violin) or persue a career in linguistics. If there are any suggestions to help out a person, it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your comments!
