<p>The labwork and research play BIG roles. They might add to your admission ticket ;D</p>

<p>Brown (ED possible) - reach
Columbia (ED possible) - high reach
Tufts (ED possible) - dunno
Dartmouth (ED possible) - reach
Williams (ED Possible) - dunno
UPenn - low reach
BC - low reach
Carleton - dunno
Northwestern - match
Brown - reach</p>

<p>ACT/SAT/GPA a little disappointing, but good EC's.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Agreed w/ Ivychan. </p>

<p>How did you get those great research opportunities as a high school student? those are things to die for. Got any advice?</p>

<p>Your research is a big plus and you might want to look at some more LAC's strong in science where it would be extremely valued.</p>

<p>LOL@ that! Northwestern's average SAT/ACT is significantly higher than BC. It has the HIGHEST mid-50% ACT range among all the schools listed. Some of you need to do some research before commenting.</p>

<p>agreed with Sam Lee..BC is nowhere close to northwestern.id say NW would be more of a reach, and BC a match. everything else seems about right. i suggest u start on ur essays and own dat. its prty much ur only chance if u wanna get in to your #1 choice.</p>

<p>thanks for the chances, is upenn really a low reach?</p>

8

<p>could somebody chance me for williams, brown, and tufts?</p>

9

<p>how is upenn a low reach but brown is a reach?
No, upenn is not a low reach by any means. Much harder to get into than Brown is, unless you mak $983258237587 a year. Williams is like liberal-arts Harvard, INCREDIBLY hard to get into. I think if anything is a low reach, it would be Tufts. Best of luck</p>

<p>thanks, i am thinking about doing Brown ED, can someone chance me for Brown?</p>
