Chance for UChicago, Stanford, Duke, + Ivies

<p>Chemistry; I’m planning on being a Cardiologist. @ellesea </p>

<p>John Hopkins??? Washington State University at St.Louis???</p>

<p>Well, you will be rejected by both of those if you refer to them as that in your essays.</p>

<p>In all seriousness, you really need to edit your list. Not that one is better than the other, but Hanover, NH and Morningside Heights, NY have 2 totally different vibes.</p>

<p>You look really solid.
To be honest, if your confidence in your writing skills is not unfounded, I see no reason for you to not get into good schools. I would say most are low reaches with a very solid chance, with the exception of Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, UChicago, and Columbia, which are reaches.</p>

<p>Chance me back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1622944-chances-uchicago-stanford-columbia-northwestern-carnegie-mellon-mit-etc-p1.html”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1622944-chances-uchicago-stanford-columbia-northwestern-carnegie-mellon-mit-etc-p1.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>RE: “the national academy of future physicians and medical scientists award.”</p>

<p>See this CC thread below, which essentially debunks this as a pay-for-play scheme, no different than any other trumped-up award. I hope you did not cite this in your applications, as it speaks to both the wealth (to afford the pay-for-play) and the gullibility of the applicant.</p>

<p>Yeah, just apply wherever you want with the expectation that the Ivies (except Cornell), Stanford, and UChicago are reaches. You definitely have noticeably better chances than the average applicant, though. </p>
