<p>Hello all. Thanks for clicking. Here are my basic stats, then the list of schools. I'll take any comments I can get, but I prefer school-specific predictions, and perhaps predictions of any merit aid.</p>
<p>Junior at CRAPPY, rural, Illinois failure of a public school (on government watch list)
Rank - 1/270
4.0 uw GPA
Hardest courseload possible (will have at least 6 AP classes, 2 self study APs, the government ones)
SAT: 730 CR, 800 M, 710 WR = 2240, will take again next year for kicks
SAT II: None yet, expect to average 700 at absolute WORST on Chem, Math IIC, and US History
ECs: Nothing special, but lots of time committed and most are 4 year activities, some leadership, work at pizza place 10 hrs. a week, limited volunteering
Recs: should be good to killer
Essays: Should be pretty good</p>
<p>And the schools:
Harvard (possible SCEA)
Princeton (possible ED)
Dartmouth (possible ED)
UChicago (possible EA)
Rice ID
Georgetown
John Hopkins
UVirginia
William and Mary
WUSTL
UIUC</p>
<p>UChicago - 50%
Rice ID - Reach
Georgetown - Match
John Hopkins - Match
UVirginia - Match/Safety (If you were in-state, it would be a safety.)
William and Mary - Match/Safety (If you were in-state, it would be a safety.)
WUSTL - Match
UIUC - Safety</p>
<p>If you want an Ivy, and they have the program you want, you might want to consider UPenn or Cornell. You'd have a better chance of getting into either.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot. I think I have better chances at Dartmouth and Rice ID then you are giving me, but heck, what do I know. (If you must ask, pretty much nothing). UPenn and Cornell aren't my cup of tea, I'm looking at Political Science and/or Economics.</p>
<p>Why would you listen to someone who has less posts and has been on CC for half as long as you? It's just like a father asking a child where a baby comes from</p>
