<p>You should consider some other schools also. Mostly Ivies with some average stats are kind of iffy.</p>

3

<p>bump bump bump</p>

4

<p>Missouri is great, being val is great…bring up the ACT and I could see some of the ‘lower’ ivies.</p>

5

<p>Try to fill some gaps between schools in your list. You don’t want to apply to all reaches and few matches.</p>

<p>-Dartmouth
<— more in between here
-UVA
<— maybe one more here
-UT Austin</p>

6

<p>-Princeton- 1%
-Yale- 1%
-Stanford- 1%
-UPenn- 10%
-Dartmouth- 15%
TRY TO ADD ANOTHER COLLEGE HERE THAT CAN BE A BETTER MATCH.
-UVA- 70%
-UT Austin- umm… 70%
-UMissouri- 100%</p>

7

<p>YOu have better chances at Yale, Princeton, and Stanford than mcvcm wrote.</p>

8

<p>a bit top and bottom heavy. where’s the middle?
low chances as princeton yale stanford and penn (though not as low as predicted by mcvcm), so-so at dartmouth. look for more matches.</p>

<p>More like:</p>

<p>-Princeton- 10%
-Yale- 10%
-Stanford- 10%
-UPenn- 15%
-Dartmouth- 20%</p>

<p>Consider adding:
Vanderbilt - 50%
Georgetown - 50%
University of Michigan - 80%</p>

<p>And retake the ACT because your math score can easily come up. If you get a 34, your chances go up by at least 5% at the Ivies.</p>

<p>-UVA- 70%
-UT Austin- 70% (UT Austin is actually somewhat difficult to get into if you are OOS)
-UMissouri- 100%</p>

<p>your ECs are solid but not outstanding which means that i think HYPSM will def be reaches for you…also your ACT is again, average, which typically isnt good enough for the top schools…if you’re really set on going to the Ivies, i’d add in some “lower” level ivies, like cornell, brown, dartmouth, etc. granted these are still very competitive but i think you’d have a better chance there than HYP</p>

11

<p>p.s. chance me back if you have time? :P</p>

12

<p>Your scores are too average… if you can bump that math to where the other scores are… a 34 is much better than a 32. Being at the upper half vs. lower half in scores is a big difference.</p>

<p>Chance back :)</p>
