your attempt at humor isn't that funny.</p>

<p>Unless you got some crazy connection like this House Senate Page I know, its a reach for all "Ivys"</p>

<p>your attempt at life isn't that funny.</p>

<p>well, i DID qualify for a Terry foundation scholarship. in fact i was a finalist :]</p>

<p>Chance threads in general are quite pointless, but this one is probably at the apex of Pointless. (Heh.) You have impressive stats, but you are competing with thousands of other high school students who also have impressive statistics for places at a cadre of schools that could elect to fill their freshman classes with all valedictorians, or all 2400s, or all varsity tennis players, or - whatever they choose.</p>

<p>Therefore, no one short of an Ivy League admissions officer can 'chance' you into the Ivies. It depends on their admissions pool next year and where you fall. Also upon whether you can write a compelling essay.</p>

<p>For what it's worth, I think you fall in the average range of Ivy League applicants. So you have average chances of admission, which is to say you'll be heads above the mediocre students that often fill the League's mailboxes in January (driving down their admissions rates). Chances are good, but not excellent. Not even great. Just good.</p>

<p>At any rate, I am perennially amused by the students who ask to be chanced at "all Ivies." The Ivy League schools are vastly different from one another. Brown has an open curriculum; Columbia has a rigid Core. Penn and Columbia are in large cities; Cornell and Dartmouth are in the middle of nowhere. Harvard and Yale are huge graduate/research-focused universities while Dartmouth and Princeton are smaller and more focused on undergraduate education. I mean, the list goes on.</p>
