<p>I’m sure you get this a ton, but you’re the type of applicant that worries me about getting into a good school. 
</p>
<p>Good job though!</p>
<p>Wow, your application is amazing. I have no doubt in my mind that you’ll get in no matter where you apply. Even at the higher ivies I see no problems for you.</p>
<p>Columbia, UChicago, and UPenn…you’re probably in for all of them or at most a low reach.</p>
<p>Don’t know why you need to ask people your chances… You are the picture perfect candidate. You’ll get in to all of those schools. Jeez… You really intimidate me with how amazing you are! Don’t sweat one bit, just write some stellar essays and in the meantime why not crank out some essays for Harvard, MIT, Yale, etc.</p>

What didn’t you like about UChicago??</p>
<p>I’d think that your extra-curriculars would really drive the point home for you.</p>
<p>You’re probably set for UPenn and UChicago since I knew 2 students who attended UPenn and 4 who attended UChicago without anything near the EC & Academic combo you have, but I suppose Columbia might be a bit harder just because they’ve historically had a very low acceptance rate</p>
<p>I think you have great chances at the schools you want to go to, but with those upper level schools, you never know exactly! It’s all luck at this point! Just make sure your essays are good and recs are great! Good luck!</p>
<p>You’re so strong subjectively that I would say you’re in anywhere. I would EA to Stanford, since it’s the only school on your list that’s not guaranteed, even though you are from CA. The other schools, you’ll get in RD easily. People say it’s a disadvantage to be Asian, but in this case it’s actually an advantage for you because you’re really gonna stand out! haha</p>
<p>Considering you’re number one in your class and your school regularly sends a lot of kids to Ivys, I think you’re in. You have the same SAT scores as me lol, and they’re good enough for Ivys (I know tons of people who scored low 2200s who got in, so I think as long as you’re above 2200 you should be fine w/ the SAT). Your ECs are amazing (much better than mine, at least), and you have tons of leadership which is good.</p>
<p>Your testing in general seems great, I don’t even understand why you would retake anything or take more tests (although I’d understand if you want to take physics SAT 2 if you want to go into engineering).</p>
<p>Considering you’re really into journalism I think you’d have a good chance at NU if you apply for their journalism school, which I’m pretty sure is there hardest. I think you’ll have a good shot anywhere, really lol. And considering you’re a female, you’ll have a good shot at UPenn wharton cuz their female % is relatively low and they’re trying to bring it up (or at least thats what they said at the info session).</p>
<p>Thanks for chancing me! :)</p>
<p>Quick question. Is it worth taking the ACT? I’ve been really busy with school and my charity work lately and haven’t put a lot of time into studying for it. With my SAT score (2300), should I be concerned if I do poorly? </p>
<p>Thanks =)</p>
<p>Hey, we live close to each other !! I apologize that I don’t have the time to read everyone else’s post in this topic… But wow, you are another one of those highly qualified applicants. Your stats would definitely be intimidating to some. I think that your passions for journalism + human rights/helping people is a great combo. Your academics are also solid. If I had a 2300 I would be more than satisfied with my score… but I mean, if you’ve only taken it once and are pretty sure that you can make a 2400 easily, why not try again… But your time should probably be mostly spent on your essay, as you already know. That’s pretty much the only thing you can or need to do at this point after you carefully decide to which college to apply. :P</p>
<p>I wish you (and everyone else posting) best of luck this fall/winter, since we are applying to many of the same schools.</p>
