Getting into schools like this depends on a LOT of factors:



- number of AP courses and other rigorous coursework you took

- your class ranking

- your school's ranking

- the strength of your personal essays on why you want to go to THAT school in particular, not just for the name.

- the amount of leadership you have shown in your extra-curriculars--more than just a list of them

- the strength of your letters of recommendation



What is out of your control is the quality of all the other applicants to those schools, and the profile of the freshman class that the admissions committee is seeking to assemble.What are my chances of getting into UPenn, Johns Hopkins, and Duke?
You have a good chance of getting into these universities. Your SAT is quite high (which will help) and your GPA is average for the admitted students at Penn and Duke. You should get into Johns Hopkins for sure, and you are quite certain to get into Duke.



Applying to UPenn School of Arts and Science should not be difficult either. I would recommend you apply early decision to Penn as their acceptance rates go way up. I applied early decision last fall for Penn-Wharton and was accepted with a 1990 SAT, 3.96 GPA, also difficult classes (IB Dip.), and lots of extracurricular. Your admission will really depend if you are able to portray yourself as someone different from the rest. These universities receive thousands of great applications, but chose some over others. These that do better are because they stand out as people with different backgrounds or that could contribute to the university. However, your chances are good and you will most probably get into at least one of these for sure. Good Luck!
