<p>Great recs from English teacher and my AP World (soph. year) teacher who was also my Model UN club advisor.</p>

<p>Applying to SUNYs, Yale, William and Mary (OOS), Vanderbilt, Uni St. Andrews (Scotland), Georgetown, American, UPenn, Harvard, Dartmouth, Brown, Cornell, and UChicago. Also, Rice if not accepted ED.</p>

<p>Applying ED to Rice University. </p>

<p>I plan to study economics or history.</p>

<p>Thanks for reading. Please chance me, especially for Rice! I will gladly chance you in return, just post a link to your thread!</p>

<p>Well you’ll definitely got a great shot at Rice ED, but with top schools like that you can never be sure. You’ll almost definitely get into William and Mary, American, and SUNYs. You’re odds for Vanderbilt are about the same as for Rice, although without the help of ED. You’ll probably get into St. Andrews, but I don’t know as much about the UK college system (although I’ve got a friend going to Sussex, so I’m not completely in the dark. For Cornell, Chichago, and Penn you’ve got good chances, just remember that once you get to that level nothing’s definite. For Harvard, Yale, Brown, Georgetown, and Dartmouth you’ve got as good a chance as anyone. You’re definitely among the group of serious candidates at those schools.
Good luck.</p>

<p>Please chance me back
