<p>Instead of just wanting to get into an Ivy you might want to look for what u want out of a school. Then apply to those because you'll have a good chance at any school.</p>

3

<p>no no i know but these are the schools i wanna go to</p>

4

<p>GPA? (10 char)</p>

5

<p>for safeties, look at the best public instate school. you'll get in there w/ probably a lot of Merit Money.
as for your target schools, don't get attached to any one. you'll get into some of them, but it's hard to say which (esp. HYP). your odds are good. prepare for the worst and hope for the best.</p>

6

<p>thanksss can other people please chance meee ! gpa = 4.0</p>

7

<p>You have great grades/scores, but the rest is fairly limited.
Too bad you didn't make finalist, then this would be no problem</p>

<p>I'd say you have a 30-35% chance at the upper ivies.</p>

<p>Safeties:
UVA
UMICH
CAL</p>

<p>Your awards are impressive as are your scores. That said, what else is there to recommend you?</p>

<p>You're a pretty good applicant and I'd be surprised if you didn't get a single ivy (that is of course assuming that you'll write a good essay and receive good letters of recommendation). But they're all reaches.</p>

9

<p>Ivies are extremely unpredictable; I wouldn't put it past them for all of them to reject you.
But based purely on statistics and chance, I'd say:
Yale (EA) - high match
Harvard - reach
UPenn - match
Columbia - match
Princeton - reach
Duke - safe match
Dartmouth - safe match</p>

<p>This is, of course, assuming that you wrote good essays.</p>

<p>For safeties, I'd recommend UNC, UVA, UCB, and UMich.</p>

<p>thanks guys. should i retake sats/satiis?</p>

<p>also, other people please keep chancing me, thanks</p>

11

<p>don't bother with sat i
sat ii math may look like a great score, but 770 is not so good when 1/10 kids scores an 800. I would take a new SAT II and try to get it to at least 750, if anything.</p>

12

<p>800 on chem shows quite a bit of devotion though</p>

13

<p>No, DO NOT BOTHER taking SAT IIs. Those are quite good enough, and more than 3 sort of puts you in the "overachiever" spotlight, which isn't always positive.</p>

14

<p>er.. to take or not to take? opinions?</p>

<p>and pleaseeee keep chancing me..</p>

15

<p>Your scores are great. Don't waste your time retaking them.</p>

16

<p>can others please chance me :)</p>

17

<p>impressive.</p>

<p>I would say accepted at Duke, Dart, Penn, Prince.</p>

<p>Columbia is notoriously hard to get into so i dunno.</p>

<p>Yale EA should be, imo, 50/50 tossup for you, so you have a good chance.</p>

<p>Harvard... hmm who knows? You have as good a chance as anyone.</p>

<p>And look into some safeties (maybe 2?) ie. Berk or Uchicag and write good essays!!!</p>

<p>glhf applying xP</p>

<p>chance me please :)

<p>I'd say your SATs look great. How is your high school? How many accepted to hi ivy's? Sports? Job? Recs? Great scholastics - need some extras. Safety? I'm no genius, but I'd guess UVA, top Publics (Honors definitely), Top LACs. Good luck.</p>

<p>hey.. any more people willing to chance me?</p>

20

<p>err I may be mistaken but much like Intel STS, isn't Sieman's a seniors-only fair...following that logic...how are you already a semi-finalist (assuming your a rising senior?</p>
