Chance at harvard, Columbia, Brown, and UChicago??! i chance back (:

<p>well most of those are reaches for everyone, but because of the vast amount of AP courses youve taken i think that you can actually get in to havard and all the rest, your ECs might be a tad weak but the test scores and transcirpt are solid and if you write killer essays then you should be in anywhere you want to go.
GOOD LUCK!!</p>

<p>chance me back at <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/735932-chance-me-i-will-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/735932-chance-me-i-will-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>your sats are a little low for these schools; I mean it’s solid and you don’t have to retake but if you want a rather simple way to boost your app i’d retake (with the exception of math; amazing job!) but you awards and ecs are pretty outstanding.</p>

<p>Harvard:high reach (because it is for everyone)
Columbia: mid reach
Brown: low reach
UChicago: match
Davidson: in
UM: in/safety
UCF: in/safety
UF: in/safety</p>

<p>You’re the valedictorian, so commenting on that would just be stroking your ego. Your SAT score (1530) is probably the 65th-75th percentile for these schools, so your in good shape there. Your EC’s are also great, there is nothing really to comment on. You have a great shot even at Harvard, like 50% I would say, which is just about as high as it gets. Your quality of character will play a large role in determining whether you get into Columbia. If you come across as really interesting to them, you’re pretty much in because your credentials are superior to most of its applicants. Everything else is a match, except for brown, which is a mid reach.</p>

<p>Chance me back

<p>sweet. appreciate the feedback (:
i’m planning on doing my personal statement on the fact that i haven’t truely found my calling yet.</p>

<p>the fact that you have 19 APs REALLY helps you out, I know that Harvard/etc look for a rigorous courseload which you’ve definitely got. that said, your SAT scores/GPA are average but solid, and your ECs are quite impressive (esp the student govt involvement)…
So reach for Harvard/Columbia/Brown (mostly Harvard…) and match for the others :slight_smile:

<p>Harvard: Try to find something that makes you stand out and focus on it in your essay, and really try to nail your interview. They like a person with a great personality. Your Scores are great and after you hit a certain point they look at all your other criteria
Columbia: Definetly apply ED they would be a GREAT fit for you, I think you’d be in.
Brown: Maybe a small reach, if anything.
UChicago: IN

<p>Harvard - Reach, make yourself stand out more using the essays~ Your ECs are okay, but it’s Harvard HAHA
Columbia - Reach
Brown - Low reach
UChicago - Most likely
UCF - Safety</p>

<p>Please chance me too! Thanks: </p>

<p>The only reason the Ivies are a reach is becuase you do not have many non academic EC’s. Try to get involved in more clubs and be an active member like an officer and you could increase your chances. The other seem like good fits. Good luck!</p>

<p>Please chance back

<p>president of NHS doesn’t count?
i’m involved in a local basketball league, and i run track and cross country. I think that’s all i can handle though.</p>

<p>AND, i’m gonna chance everyone back.gimme a bit</p>

<p>Harvard - high reach
Columbia - mid reach
Brown - mid reach
UChicago - match
Rest - most likely a match</p>

<p>thank ya (:</p>

<p>As for President of NHS “not counting”, I think it really depends on what you did with the position. I think the NHS leadership positions are thought of as token roles where no actual leadership is performed. My D was voted NHS President this past fall and took the role seriously. She decided that she wanted to push the community service/fundraising efforts. She met a lot of resistance and no help from her fellow board members (She was actually told by 2 of the 3 other members when she asked for their assistance that they took the position to build their college applications and they gave no help). In the end, many members came around and were supportive. The faculty advisor commented that D was the best NHS President that she ever encountered. I know that the NHS Advisor contacted the GC and added information to be included in the GC recommendation at the mid-year update. </p>

<p>The point is NHS President can or cannot count. It depends upon you.</p>

<p>that’s a good point. I was just elected before the year let out, but i feel like I’m ready to push our chapter forward! (:</p>
