Thanks guys

Woah. You’re pretty amazing, man. Strong in XCs and scores, although your freshman and sophomore grades could be better.

Brown University - High match/Reach
University of Pennsylvania - Demonstrated Interest - High match/Reach
University of Chicago - Match
University of California, Berkeley - Match
New York University - Really, really match
Yale University - High Reach for everyone
Cornell University - Reach

Thanks for the response! I was thinking Cornell would not be as much of a reach as UPenn?

Oh, sorry, my bad, UPenn (Wharton) is definitely a tough school to get in to, comparable to Harvard.

bump

University of Chicago isn’t a match for anyone (extremely low acceptance rate). But you have amazing chances going for you at all the places you’ve applied. I predict you’ll get into at least one, as long as you’ve spent a considerable amount of time on supplements for each.

Great accomplishments OP, and good luck. I have to disagree with @crabby however. Except, perhaps, for NYU, it would be very rare for any of your other schools to be a true match for any applicant. Yes, your scores and accomplishments “match” many students that they admit. But they also “match” many more students that they turn away. As good as your chances are, just be sure to gave a good backup plan. Some of the most disappointed students on this site every March are those with the highest scores.

Brown University - Low Reach
University of Pennsylvania - Low Reach
University of Chicago - Low Reach
University of California, Berkeley - High Match
New York University - High Match
Yale University - Reach
Cornell University - Low Reach

I believe your only issue would be your freshman and sophomore years, but they may overlook it considering your test scores, junior and senior year, and AP Scores.
