<p>I don't know...i mean i know i have good numbers, but i feel like i don't have any amazing involvement or any "hooks." </p>

<p>Thanks!!! :)</p>

2

<p>Which SAT II's did you take?</p>

3

<p>my SAT II's were:
Math II 800
Chem 800
US History 770</p>

<p>right now i am kind of thinking of these schools as:</p>

<p>Match and/or slight reach:
UNC, Michigan, Wesleyan</p>

<p>Reach:
Brown</p>

<p>Uber-Reach:
Yale</p>

<p>I don't know how accurate that is though so any opinions would be really helpful</p>

4

<p>what were your clubs?</p>

5

<p>my clubs are Habitat for Humanity and Best Buddies.</p>

<p>sorry guys, i know some people get annoyed when you post tmi in chances threads so i tried not to, but i guess i ended up doing the opposite =/</p>

6

<p>Haha that's okay :). I think those are good clubs. Your academics are amazing, and your ECs are good...you are in at Michigan (friend with similar stats who got in with some money), Wesleyan = low reach/match, and the rest are reaches.</p>

7

<p>oh yay, i love Michigan =)</p>

<p>thanks chinnychinchang</p>

8

<p><em>bump</em></p>

<p>anyone else? :)</p>

9

<p>Yale & Brown - decent chance, but your ecs may hurt you
Wesleyan - yes
UNC OOS - yes
Michigan OOS - yes</p>

10

<p>I agree with chinnychinchang.</p>

11

<p>you really have a decent shot with those stellar grades and scores...but remember, senior yr isn't necessarily too late to crank up those ec's!</p>

12

<p>Wesleyan likes science majors with high SATs. They are boosting their science profile. I think you are a definite match at Wesleyan.</p>

13

<p>thank you!</p>

14

<p>Yale - really good scores, but ECs =/
Brown - probably, but brown loves ecs
Wesleyan - like someone said before yes
Michigan OOS - yess</p>

15

<p>It might just be me, I think your ECs are enough if you showed that you were really involved in them.</p>

<p>GL for Yale, I hope we can go together ^^</p>

16

<p>Yale-<em>unpredictable</em>
Brown-<em>unpredictable</em>
Wesleyan-In
UNC OOS-In
Michigan OOS-In</p>

<p>Your SAT I and II's are phenomenal, and your GPA is great (although not a perfect 4.0, your SATs should show admissions officers that you're quite smart), and your ECs aren't a laundry list. I'd be surprised if you didn't get into at least 1 ivy on your list, but the other schools you listed should accept you.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>thanks everyone!!! =)</p>
