hey friends!!! I’m very nervous about this whole college application process and it would help make me less anxious if someone told me whether they think I have a chance at the schools I’m applying to and whatever.

I plan on applying to Georgetown (EA), Notre Dame (EA), uchicago (EA), Princeton, Harvard, Tufts, Brown and Northwestern. If I don’t get into any of my EA schools, I will look at applying to some safeties. Hopefully I get into at least one.

Teacher Recommendation: asked my English 2 H teacher who I formed a relationship with. He thought I was an amazing writer and I expect him to talk me up. well at least I hope. I also asked my AP Bio teacher who adores me and thinks I’m very smart. So hopefully they’re good (:

You have a chance. It is pretty much impossible to predict whether you will get into one or more of the EAs without a “hook”. Think about matches and safeties also, and run the NPC and make sure that you have an affordable option.

Given your stats, I expect you will do very well regardless of where you end up as long as you include some affordable matches and safeties in your list. Good luck!

PS: With your stats, McGill and Toronto and UBC would be somewhere between matches and safeties. Outside of the US students are accepted based on grades and SAT scores, and yours are superb.

I agree with DadTwoGirls, your stats are phenomenal. You should have a good shot at all 3, and while it is impossible to predict many Ivy results, your stats are certainly up to par with expectations. Good luck!
