<p>Thanks for the chance lexieam, I chanced you back.</p>
<p>If it were Penn RD, probably not. Now, ED chances a lot better. Academics not the greatest, (thinking about taking SAT again?), but it’s not bad enough to be a reason to reject you. But you do have a clear interest (in technology) it seems which you have demonstrated and is not as common given your gender. And I sense genuineness which is another plus. Rock those essays and I see an acceptance from Penn. Princeton is the only major reach for you. The rest should be within or only slightly out of range.</p>
<p>Penn ED: Low Reach
Cornell: High Match
Dartmouth: Low Reach
Princeton: Reach
CMU: Match
UChicago: High Match
JHU: High Match
NW: High Match
Rice: Match
Pomona: I don’t know enough about this school.
Middlebury: Match
USC: Low Match.
You’ll definitely get into some of these schools, all of which are excellent institutions. Good luck with the process. Chance back if you can at <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/1201569-chances-senior-will-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/1201569-chances-senior-will-chance-back.html</a></p>
<p>Thanks for the chances everyone! Chanced you back, Dan.</p>
<p>@dblazer: ‘Genuineness’? What does that mean? Not very up with college lingo yet haha…thanks though. I really am interested in comp sci so yeah. Gotta work those essays!</p>
<p>For some reason I thought “pageant” was “pregnant”…</p>
<p>I saw 3 pregos at my school today… They were walking together…</p>
<p>Good luck on your college applications… :)</p>
<p>“Genuineness” is not tossed around as much as it should be. I basically meant that it looks like you are doing your activities because of your own interest rather than looking good for colleges.</p>
