<p>You’re a good candidate, but not outstanding; I could see you getting into 2 of the 6.</p>

3

<p>I think you have a good chance at penn and dartmouth. As for HYPS, you will probably face a lot of competition.</p>

<p>I don’t get HYPSM Chance threads. I mean others, they’re usually for gaining confidence, but the only possible answers for colleges with such competent applicant pools are “maybe” and “no,” (in this case, the former), neither of which leave the attendee very satisfied.</p>

<p>Anyways, Dartmouth and Penn look good. for HYPS, see above.</p>

5

<p>A great shot at all the schools on your list :)</p>

6

<p>definitely a good chance. good luck</p>

7

<p>Yeah like everyone else said, good chances. Are you applying to wharton?</p>

8

<p>

</p>

<p>O_O Omgggggg</p>

9

<p>i’d say you have a good chance for penn and dartmouth, as for HYPSM its always a crapshoot as to who gets in.</p>

10

<p>yes, I would apply to Wharton
and thanks guys!</p>

11

<p>WHYPS are reaches for anyone, but I think you have a strong chance</p>

12

<p>I think you have a good chance if your scores match your projections :slight_smile: although your EC’s are slightly scattered, so I don’t get a sense of your ‘passion,’ as the Ivy’s like to call it. They’re all good though. </p>

<p>Also, be careful–I know Dartmouth practices ED, not EA, and I believe UPenn might too. Those are binding, while EA is not.</p>

13

<p>lol i was gonna chance you </p>

<p>then i saw 750k to 1 mil for income bracket</p>
