<p>I think you have a great shot at all your colleges. I can’t see you nessicarily getting into all of them, but I can see you getting all except one or two. I think you have a great shot at ND EA, and I honestly think you’ll get in there, it seems like you have some great material for good essays. Obviously you have an extremely strong application, and you’ll definitely get into some good schools. Good luck!</p>

<p>I think that you have a great shot at most of your schools and that if you were interested in Ivy League you should go for it. These seem more like reach schools than anything and I think a student like you should be able to aim higher if you want. That being said, I think with good recommendations and a killer essay you will get what you want in your college education. Please chance me back.</p>

<p>Wait so like these schools are a reach for me? Or I should reach higher? And of course I’ll chance you back, thanks!</p>

<p>i think u should aim for cornell and/or dartmouth too… i think altho they are reach schools, u might get in based on your essays/rec… dont sell yourself too short since you might be competitive for these schools too</p>

<p>Solid shot at all those colleges!</p>

<p>I see you getting into all of those colleges, maybe not Duke- I would have used my ED on Duke IMO. please chance back! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1423204-will-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1423204-will-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>You have common EC’s but your stats are great. Have spectacular essays and recommendations. You have a good shot though. </p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>

10

<p>Like what Goodnyte said, your ECs are not BAD, but nonetheless they fail to stand out significantly. With good recs and essays you should be set, however!</p>

<p>(Chance me back please;))</p>

<p>You should definitely be applying to other colleges as competitive as Notre Dame and Duke. Given your EC’s and test scores, I’d say</p>

<p>Duke - Reach
Notre Dame - High Match
Other colleges - In</p>
