Hi, so I’m about to be a senior in Brooklyn Tech HS (one of the few Specialized HS in NY) and I was wondering if you guys can rate my chances into getting into theese colleges. As of now, my reach school would be Macaulay Honors at Baruch, NYU; my 50/50 school would be SUNY Bing and Fordham University (my brother goes there too so that should be a bonus?) and my safety school would be CUNY Baruch and CUNY Hunter.

Academics:
Weighted GPA: 91.1
SAT Score: I took one so far and I’m planning on taking 3. But it’s 1770 (690 M, 470 R [yes I know, it's low =/ ] and 610 W)
Classes:
Sophomore Year: Honors in English and AP Euro (I got a 1 on the test because I didn’t study well for it and I was battling a sickness during that time for a month; and I had to take the AP test or I would fail the class which I got a 90 on).
Junior Year: AP Computer Science *my current HS major*, AP AB Calculus, AP English ( I never got my AP scores back for some reason but I think I got a 2 in Comp Sci, 3-4 in Calc and 3-4 in Eng).
Senior Year: I’m going to take AP Economy.

Yes, I know my test scores (AP + SAT) are low but that is just how I am; I get into very good classes but I am simply not a good test taker =/

Extracurricular Activities:
Freshman Year: Marine Bio Club member (2 hrs a week)

Sophomore Year: Table Tennis Club member (Thursdays), Art Club member

Junior Year: National Honor Society member

Volunteer Experience:
Volunteered at the Excel Learning Center (200 hrs) where I tutored kids and checked their work.
Volunteered at my local Church (327 hrs) where I tutored the kids, assisted with the teachers; one of two workers in charge of feeding the kids (paying job) — I would go to this school, pick up breakfast/lunches, and feed the kids. Then I would sort alll the remaining food into bags, and I was usually put in charge of any lunch activities)

Notes About Me:
*I have been going to that church for about a year and a half and I take alot of leadership roles in it such as leading Bible Study.
* Every Friday and Sunday I would also go to church to play football, basketball, volleyball to help out the team.
* Came from a low income family.

Thanks alot guys for your time and I hope I wasn’t a pain…

P.S. If any of these schools are like impossible to get into, can anyone suggest me anything else? Thanks =D
SAT II: Math (670)

Open Question: Why is my brother good at so much when im good at nothing?

He is good at everything. He is great at sports(excluding only horse riding as he hates horses), especially if they contain balls. He is also really good at drawing and is very intelligent. He is also fun to be around and has loads of friends, he is confident and never loses at tennis, table tennis, pool and so on when playing against friends and family. Lastly he is good looking (that’s the only way I can describe it so if it sounds weired then sorry but I don’t know what else to say). Me on the other hand: Im not really good at anything. Im ok at drawring but thats about it. Im rubbish at sports no matter how hard I try and I try my best at everything I do. Im not intelligent and im dyslexic. Im not good looking and im shy with hardly any friends (3) and cant do anything right. I feel jealous of my brother and think it is so unfair how he has loads of talent and I dont have a single talent other than beign ok at drawring. Now I never bother to play tennis or anything against my brother because no matter what I loose. He makes me feel low about myself and makes me feel depressed. What should I do?
Also I have spent years trying different things and still cant find what im good at. What really gets me down is that he is brilliant at everything and knows what to do straight away. There is nothing he is not good at. Whenever I feel like im good at something he then tries to do it and is better than me automatically. Its not fair. I know this is childish now but I call him MR. Perfect instead of using his real name.
