<p>I have taken the most rigorous schedule my school offers, so the lack of APs is due to the fact that my school doesn't offer very many. So far I have been accepted to UMich, Purdue, Case Western, UCincinnati, GaTech, and Rose-Hulman and deferred from MIT. I'm considering majoring in some type of Engineering (probably Chemical or Biomedical) and I would like to know my chances at the following schools. I just want to know where I stand as I go into this long period of waiting!</p>

<p>Stanford
Cornell
Northwestern
Duke</p>

<p>Please give me your thoughts and I'll chance you back (please provide a link to your thread)!</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Your ACT, GPA and ECs are fantastic.
Stanford is somewhat of a reach for every applicant, not because of the applicant itself, but for the fact that it is unpredictable. That being said, I think you have a great shot at Stanford and all the other schools you listed. </p>

<p>chance me?

<p>ECs and GPA are solid. Your scores are great, too-especially that chem one, that’s a really hard test! You have a very, very good chance at Cornell/NWern/Duke. Just like fullofwonder said, Stanford’s always a tricky one. There’s really no rhyme or reason to whom they pick, hahah. You have a great shot, but they’re really unpredictable.</p>

<p>hope this helps! chance me back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1297618-chances.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1297618-chances.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I think you have good chances for Cornell, Duke, and Northwestern, particularly if you’ve been recruited for football or track. I wouldn’t be surprised if you got into Stanford, but I also would be surprised if you were rejected. Good luck!</p>

<p>Your EC’s are awesome, your ACT is really good, but the problem is that SAT II math 2. Engineering is a very math intensive field, and top level schools really are gonna think twice when they see a 670. Everything else on your application is awesome though. So I have no clue how to chance you. Good Luck though!</p>

<p>Chance me back!</p>

<p>Hmmm… expand more on the EC about your mother. You don’t need a lot of EC’s just a FEW BIG ONES. You can get into northwestern/duke definitely. Stanford & Cornell may be a bit of a reach for anyone unless you are a child prodigy, legacy, athlete… </p>

<p>Honestly, you’ve probably got a pretty good shot at all of them. Not to repeat the others above, but Stanford can be quite unpredictable, but I see no reason why you shouldn’t make the other schools on your list. The only real “downside” is a relatively low Math II score (for the schools you’re looking at), but it’s not really that big of an issue given your other credentials.
And chance back please!

<p>As everyone else mentioned, Stanford is a reach for everyone and there are never guarantees, but I still think that you’re a very strong applicant. On track for Valedictorian is also a nice boost. Not to mention a double varsity athlete is nice as well. I definitely think you have a good shot at the four remaining schools.</p>

<p>Thanks for all of the feedback guys! This last month of waiting is really sucking right now and I just wanted to know where I stand. I have chanced you all back as well, and good luck to all of you!</p>

<p>congratulations on your acceptances already! Number wise, you’re exatly where you should be. though your EC’s aren’t awe inspiring, they are solid. I think you’ll get into Northwestern and Cornell. Stanford and Duke area little more iffy just because they’re reaches for everyone and choose based on filling a “class.” best of luck :slight_smile: and yes this month of waiting is literally killing me.

<p>Thank you for chancing me, I have chanced you back! Good luck!</p>

<p>You are a good applicant for really any of those schools. The only thing is you will be competing with all the people who have taken all Ap since sophomore year, while you can’t be penalized for your schools lack of Aps you may want to take the Ap exam because it will look better for college and you can also save money if you do well on them.</p>

<p>Stanford is a possibility but I could definitely see you getting into Northwestern, Cornell, and Duke. Personally I love Georgia Tech and it is such an awesome school for engineering. I mean all your acceptances are amazing but I’m trying to get into Tech at the moment (and don’t have a chance at any ivies) so I guess I’m a bit biased! I live in Georgia and not one person goes to Tech for chemical engineering without amazing opportunities and a great experience!</p>
