Grade HelpAnswered
Hi! I’m an incoming junior and I need to know if my grades are competitive enough for Ivies, Rice, Northeastern, Stanford, and MIT. I already have some alright extracurriculars. I co-started a computer science nonprofit about teaching kids cs and we’ve raised over $1500 and I’m coding the website right now w React, HTML/CSS, and JavaScript to show my interest in computer science. I have some other pretty good extracurriculars and I am pursuing a research project in bioengineering.
I have studied very hard but my grades are lacking very much in my opinion. I’ve received all As except for in Honors Alg 2 last semester in which I received the lowest grade of my life. My school doesn’t account for A-minuses and I just feel mediocre because I’ve been getting A-minuses every year. With that said, here are my grades:
The first grade is the first semester. The second grade is the second semester. And my school doesn’t let freshmen take any APs and sophomores are only allowed one AP (WHAP) except if you are in a higher language. Also, theology classes are required.

If you can get all A's with difficult classes your junior and first half of your senior year I don't think your grades would be lacking. If you want a better chance, you want to aim for at least 1550 on the SAT and a 35 on the ACT. Because you pretty much have all A's, you shouldn't worry about it, just make sure you get good ACT/SAT scores and get volunteer or internship experience.
Adding on, Northeastern will reject those who they deem "too good" to go there. Keep that in mind.
