<p>I WILL BE PAYING FULL TUITION IF THAT HELPS...lol</p>
<p>Job experience: Tutoring local highschoolers in various subjects, 11</p>
<p>Thanks!! Sadly I wont rank in the top 10% of my class (just outside at 11.1%) because my school and class is extremely competitive(ranked 268 in the nation for public schools). Will this hurt my chances a lot?</p>
<ul>
<li>Being a full-pay student NEVER gives you an advantage in admission to top private colleges. All top 25 colleges are needs-blind in admissions.</li>
<li>Being out of the top 10% won’t hurt you at Georgetown, but it will hurt you at Columbia. For Cornell, it really depends on which school your apply to.</li>
</ul>
<p>As for chancing, I don’t think anyone can accurately chance you unless you tell us: your ethnicity, whether you have any hooks, which major you’re applying for, which schools you’ll be applying to at Georgetown, Columbia, and Cornell, what you’re planning to do w/ your upcoming summer, and why you aren’t in the top 10% with a 4.0 GPA (seriously, how does a 4.0 UW translate into 11.1%?).</p>
<p>I’m an Indian male…no hooks lol. Biological sciences with premed track. For the summer, medical research hopefully at Vanderbilt and doctor shadowing at local hospital inGA. As I said, my school is very competitive in general and my class is literally a shark tank compared to the rest of the school and previous classes</p>
<p>Thanks for the info. Here’s what I think of your chances:</p>
<p>Columbia - High reach for ED. Columbia ED is extremely competitive, so it’ll be quite difficult even with your stats.
Cornell - Low reach for ED. Cornell ED is the least competitive among the ivies so I think you have an excellent chance of getting in.
Georgetown - Low reach for EA. Based on admissions statistics, Georgetown EA is actually more competitive than RD. Also, you can’t ED to another school if you apply EA to Georgetown.</p>
<p>If you’re trying to decide which school to apply to ED, I’d recommend Cornell over Georgetown and Columbia. Cornell’s science programs are strong and you have a good chance of getting in. Furthermore, Georgetown’s science programs aren’t that great (although the school’s proximity to NIST and NIH is definitely useful).</p>
<p>Depends on which school in Cornell you apply. If you apply to agriculture, it’s probably a match. If you apply to arts and science, it’s probably a high match or low reach. Columbia is probably a low reach and Georgetown EA is a match.</p>
