<p>All Ivy Leagues are hard to get into but with you grades, test scores, Ec’s you have a good shot. As for the others I dont think you will have a problem. Good luck!</p>

<p>Dartmouth - Reach
Cornell - Reach
Boston College - Match
SUNY Geneseo - Match</p>

<p>Not very familiar with the other two. You have a solid ACT and for the most part, GPA for the schools you’re looking for. The only thing for the ivies is the low SATII score(s), 650 probably isn’t high enough and 710 can’t make up for that.</p>

<p>Also, you have some rather odd courses on your schedule like “Reading for the New SAT”. Most top colleges recalculate your GPA and will not take classes like that into account. And how many APs does your school offer? </p>

<p>Oh and solid EC’s. :smiley:

<p>University of Rochester, Bradeis, BC, and SUNY Genesco shouldn’t be a problem for you to get into. As for Dartmouth and Cornell it’s a crapshoot even the best applicants have at best a 50/50 chance unless you have a major hook.</p>

<p>Stressed: Thanks a lot for the chance!
Lucifuger: I know that my SAT II’s are weak… argh… but I’m hoping for a 700+ on my June SAT II in USH so I can have two scores above a 700. And Reading for the New SAT is an elective… idk how schools calculate GPA anyways… and thanks :slight_smile:
NastyNate: Thanks for your input!</p>

<p>I don’t see Dartmouth, good shot at Cornell, especially in some schools as a NYer, and chances at the others look strong.</p>

7

<p>Dartmouth - Reach (but certainly possible)
Cornell - low reach/high match (i see you getting in)
University of Rochester - match (great chance
Brandeis - match (great chance)
Boston College - match (great chance)
SUNY Geneseo - safety</p>

<p>Dartmouth is the most uncertain but I think you are definitly in the running.</p>

<p>Good luck with the whole process.</p>
