Wow, an applicant going for schools that are good for his/her major instead of a college list taken straight from the US News rankings? Are you real?

Stanford is difficult to predict, but you’ve got a chance. I think you should get in at most of the other schools, and you’re virtually a lock anyplace you’ve been recruited.

5

Haha thank you!

I agree but I have not been recruited to any of my preferred schools :frowning:

6

Where is your home state?
Assuming you are from OOS, UMich LSA would be a high match.

7

I predict NYU in your future

8

I say NYU or JHU is where you’re most likely to get in.

I’m from India :slight_smile:

You are admitable at the top schools in your list (Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Ivys) but they also turn down a lot of kids with your your good scores and background. Still apply, but higher probability of getting in at the next tier, especially where you can play sports (BC, Colgate, Villa, etc.), all very very good schools.
