*took out JHU, Stanford, and Rice, and added Vanderbilt for the heck of it.
USC: Match
Cornell: Reach (only because it’s an Ivy, I think your ECs show dedication, passion, and initiative!)
WashU: Match
CMU: Don’t know enough to be accurate!
Northeastern U: Match/high safety (not a term but hope it makes sense)
Trinity College: Don’t know enough to be accurate!
URochester: Don’t know enough to be accurate!
Vanderbilt: Match
I think you have a great shot at USC (my family member is a professor there!). Yes, your GPA is a bit of a disadvantage for Cornell/Stanford (if you’re still applying) BUT upward trends are great and your ECs show a great deal that (I think) makes up for your GPA in 9th grade. The strongest part of your application is how you started/founded many organizations, that’s what colleges like to see, so hopefully you capitalized on that! Good luck!! And if you don’t mind, please chance me: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1846526-so-heres-my-number-chance-me-maybe.html#latest
thanks! @lurkertoposter i decided that I have good chances for USC since i eliminated lots of reach schools, and will do.
Bump,
Update:
USC
WashU
more that are due by Jan 15.
Agree with the other chances for the most part, but I can’t seem to identify a specific thing or EC that you really care for, which may come off as a bad remark from the eyes of an adcom. I’d say try to centralize your EC’s towards one or two specific EC’s. Your chances will increase by a lot.
Chance back?

@ayyyyyyy thanks, I know my ECs may appear scattered, but i organized the frist Ec I put as my most important and I have many hours from that. Plus it kinda reflects ideas in my CA essay.
and done.
Then that part will probably work in your favor!
