Answer 1

To be perfectly honest, your extracurriculars are quite impressive, but your SAT I/II grades are not all that impressive in comparison to others who attend the top schools and Ivy leagues. You probably should shoot for a 720-750 on each section. Your ACT scores are a tad low as well, you should be aiming for a 30. Don't get me wrong, your credentials are amazing, much better than mine, but you might not want to get your hopes up to get into an Ivy League school. They're not what they are mad out to be anyway.

Answer 2

You definitely have the potential to make it into a great school.  I'll go through what you wrote one by one:

SAT: The writing section, your strongest point, doesn't count for that much because it's new (schools don't yet know how to interpret the score) and more subjective (2 people can write the same essay and get different grades).  So, you got a total of 1360 out of 1600 and 2060 out of 2400.  These grades are fine for Brown and Cornell, but your SAT's don't particularly stand out.  Fortunately, the SAT's won't hurt you if you apply to the "lower" half of the ivies.  At Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, your scores are below average.  

Extracuriculars: President of two clubs is good.  A strong point, but it won't single-handedly get you into a better school.

SAT II's: Not a very important part of the acceptance process.  Again, this is an asset for you, but it probably won't make a huge difference for you.  

ACT: I am not familiar enough with the ACT to comment.

Class Rank: Huge plus for you.  Good job.

Pre-school volunteer belongs with extracurriculars and is pretty good.

I can't fully access your situation without knowing the following:

Class size - Salutatorian means a lot more if your class size is 500, rather than 50, for example.

GPA - Most important factor for college admissions.  

Recommendation letters from teachers - Do you think you can get good recomendations?  They count more than you'd think.

School's record - Some colleges notice that students from a particular school do well, so they tend to be more generous to applicants from certain schools.  

Supplement essays and common application essays - Minor parts of the admissions process, but they count nonetheless.

Ethnicity - Many schools have affirmative action programs.

Conclusion: I would need to know your GPA to make a remotely reliable guess, but I'll assume that it's in the 95-100.  This being the case, the Ivies seem to be perfect reach schools.  In other words, it would not surprise me if you were to get in, but I wouldn't be surprised either if you were to be rejected.  You would by no means be the weakest student at any school, but, depending on the exact schools you apply to, you could be somewhere around the level of the average student.  The Ivies that are easiest to get into are unquestionably worth applying to.  However, the "Big Three" schools, and a couple of the other top schools in the nation appear to be a little too far out of reach.

Good luck in your college searching!!!

Answer 3

ivy transfer chances are probably low.

your ecs are generic - a lot of people are in math league and chess club.

honor societies don't do anything. SATs are decent but higher never hurts.

focus on improving ECs in current college, college GPA freshman year would be a big factor.

Answer 4

WOW! That is amazing, you will definitely be accepted into almost any school you apply for. It does depend a bit on what high school you went to (like was it a top very competitive high school or just a so-so high school).

Good luck with whatever you are aiming for, and always remember to give it your 150%!
