5

<p>bump it up</p>

6

<p>I don’t think you have very good chances. You seem like an applicant that is “decent” in all aspects; however, the top schools only take the top 10-20% of applicants. </p>

<p>Are you the valedictorian/sal? GL!</p>

7

<p>Anyone else care to crush me? :D</p>

8

<p>Your EC’s aren’t that personalized but yeah, you have the grades and test scores. If you have personality then I’d say you have a good chance at most of them and a very good chance at Northwestern and WashU</p>

9

<p>I would have retaken the SAT if I were you…</p>

<p>A few of your schools only look at 2-section SAT scores…and your 1400/1600 is quite low for those schools.</p>

<p>Aside from that, your ECs seem unfocused and disorganized, I can only hope you show passion in a few of them.</p>

<p>Something that admissions officers will ask is…why astronomy? Did this person take one Intro to Astronomy course and make up her mind?</p>

10

<p>^I get how you’d see that. I explained to my interviewers why I wanted to do it, so I don’t think that will be a deterring factor</p>

11

<p>no. your 1400/1600 is NOT low for these schools. i know people who had lower stats than the ones you have and they got into Northwestern and WUSTL (lol i had to google that to figure out the acronym). but your ECs aren’t too focused, as other people have stated. show passion, and definitely let them know why you want to major in astronomy. Good luck!</p>

13

<p>you’ve def got the grades/rank to get into these schools…but they get pretty competitive. I’m pretty sure you’ll get in Northwestern, cornell, washu, and probs columbia. MIT and the others will be low reach/high match. good luck!</p>

14

<p>Your interview was the perfect place to explain that, so don’t worry about that then!</p>

15

<p>Princeton, MIT and Stanford are all reaches, you should be fine with Cornell WUSTL Northwestern Bowdoin and even Columbia. Columbia is less competitive than P M and S.</p>

<p>Chance back: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/866251-anyone-can-please-chance-me-gladly-appreciate.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/866251-anyone-can-please-chance-me-gladly-appreciate.html&lt;/a&gt; and answer my question on the bottom of the thread.</p>

16

<p>all are tough and can be very tempermental, but your stats seem good for cornell/ NW/ maybe columbia, and wustl. all others are reaches</p>

17

<p>good to hear about Columbia, hopefully. anyone else?</p>

18

<p>To be honest, u cant rly chance schools like Columbia, Stanford and MIT (you jus never know) </p>

<p>Ur Low Reach/ High MAtch for Cornell, NU and WSTL</p>

<p>There is no way to accurately chance ivy league status schools, u can be perfect and still be rejected while u can have some blemishes and still be accepted.</p>

19

<p>That’s definitely true</p>

20

<p>WHen I said that you have not very good chances, I was referring to MIT,Stan, and Columbia</p>

<p>the rest you have a good chance for.</p>

<p>Sorry for being misleading.</p>
