<p>You’ll get into most of those schools, especially the legacy ones. Just rock the essays and teachers/counselor recommendations. Nice!!</p>

<p>Awesome I see your a fellow Key clubber! :P</p>

<p>Anyway, your stats are really competitive. Truthfully, I think you have a good chance at any school you apply to. You should definitely get in at Haverford ED. It’s an excellent school. :)</p>

7

<p>MIT: reach
Yale: reach
Columbia: low reach
Princeton: reach
Skidmore: in
Haverford: in
Wesleyan: in
Amherst: low reach/high match
Williams: low reach/high match
Brown: low reach/high match</p>

<p>You’d most likely get into at least one reach, although it doesn’t really matter since you’ll be ED at Haverford.</p>

8

<p>Yeah, I agree. I don’t see why you wouldn’t get into Haverford, especially ED.</p>

9

<p>Yale (legacy) - amazing chances.
Columbia (legacy) - amazing chances.</p>

<p>I dont know the others. Sorry.</p>

<p>bump .</p>

<p>That’s the only world needed.</p>

<p>MIT: mid-reach
Yale: mid-reach
Columbia: low-reach
Princeton: reach
Skidmore: match
Haverford: low-reach/high-match
Wesleyan: low-reach/high-match
Amherst: low-reach/high-match
Williams: high-match
Brown: low-reach</p>

<p>Despite the fact that I believe you could get into any one of these schools easily, they reject students like you a dime-a-dozen. Look for more safeties. Since you live in PA, maybe you should consider looking at UPenn and Penn State.</p>

<p>bump .</p>

17

<p>Are you really 6th in the world in competitive Scrabble? Wow! How did you manage that? I read somewhere that most of the top 10 are from Korea and don’t even speak English – they just memorize all of the key words.</p>

18

<p>well 6th was my highest rank ever, i drop down during the school year because i play less, and those koreans might be playing live scrabble, i play online</p>

19

<p>Well, everyone else has said most of what I would have said. You’re a legacy at most of the schools I would consider a reach (Yale, MIT, Columbia.) I would say that Princeton is probably the biggest reach, and Haverford and Skidmore seem like pretty safe bets. I don’t know if you have any safeties–if not, get some. My friend last year applied to all colleges like these, and she thought it was a sure thing. She ended up getting into one, and it didn’t give her anything like the financial aid she needed. Good luck!</p>
