<p>I'm applying for Chemical Engineering for these schools:
(Hardest to Easiest. Only my opinion though.)</p>

<p>MIT
Stanford
Cooper Union (ED)
Princeton
Cornell
Rice
Carnegie Mellon
Northwestern
Vanderbilt
NYU
University of Toronto
University of McGill
Georgia Tech
Texas at Austin
Ohio State
Texas A&M</p>

<p>I will chance back!!!!!</p>

2

<p>Schools above NYU are reaches and MIT, Stanford, Princeton, Cornell are pretty much out of the picture due to rank outside of top 5% and low SAT scores.</p>

3

<p>GPA = pretty good
SAT = meh
SAT 2 = good
EC’s = good</p>

<p>MIT (mid-high reach)
Stanford (mid-high reach)
Cooper Union (ED) (unfamilar with school)
Princeton (mid-high reach)
Cornell (low reach/high match)
Rice (high match)
Carnegie Mellon (match)
Northwestern (low reach)
Vanderbilt (low reach/high match)
NYU (in)
University of Toronto (in)
University of McGill (in)
Georgia Tech (in)
Texas at Austin (in)
Ohio State (in)
Texas A&M (in)</p>

4

<p>Can you explain
Low reach, reach, high reach, low match, match, and high match?</p>

5

<p>Bumpppppppp</p>

6

<p>Low reach = going to be kinda hard to get in
reach = hard to get in
high reach = nearly impossible, but stranger things have happened
low match = you’re basically in, your numbers are better than the average admitted
match = you basically have the average numbers admitted
high match = a little under the average admitted, but definitely possible to get in</p>

<p>idk if i explained these good enough haha, its just how i think of them</p>

7

<p>That was nice :]</p>

<p>Mind chancing me while you’re at it? hehehe</p>

<p>I need more opinions!!! </p>

<p>Chance PLZ people!! will chance back!!</p>

9

<p>MIT, Stanford, Princeton & Cornell are the reaches imo
vandy, carnegie, northwestern & rice are matches and the rest are safeties imo</p>

<p>BTW - You gotta tell me how you raised your SAT score by so much… I took it freshmen year and got a 1560, i’m retaking it this year and hope to get 1800+ haha</p>

<p>^^ Leadership would be: MarchingBand section leader; Worshipping team founder and leader; clarinet 1st chair; and bible studying teacher.
It’s not much.</p>

<p>And hmm… i’d love to go to Northwestern!!! I really want to get in!!!</p>

<p>@James1G:
Although my scores aren’t great, i did improve a lot.
Basically i did 40 practice tests in this order.</p>

<p>Kaplan 11 practice tests.
Princeton Review 12 practice tests
Barrons 5 practice tests
Collegeboard 10 practice tests.</p>

<p>And in between a few Gruber and other ones. (They weren’t very helpful)</p>

<p>I usually get 800’s on math but i was unlucky… made some dumb mistakes.
i usually skipped the math part when i was studying.
And when i got questions wrong, i went back and checked. I also marked the ones i guessed on, so that i can go back on those too.</p>

<p>reading is the hardest to improve. Writing is easy. Math is easy.</p>

<p>More chances please people!! hehehe</p>

11

<p>Awesome, where can I get all these practice tests? I have different SAT books but they only have like 3-4 tests in them lol</p>

12

<p>^
Amazon.com probably has them. They sell those cheaply so just look around and you’ll find them.</p>

13

<p>More chance please!!!
I have to narrow down some of this list!!!</p>

14

<p>MIT High Reach
Stanford High Reach
Cooper Union (ED) Reach
Princeton High Reach
Cornell High Reach
Rice Reach
Carnegie Mellon Low Reach
Northwestern Mid-High Reach
Vanderbilt Mid-High Reach
NYU Match
University of Toronto Low Match
University of McGill Low Match
Georgia Tech High Match
Texas at Austin Low Match
Ohio State In</p>

15

<p>Dang. I was hoping for a better chance for Vandy and NU…
Ah I really want to get in!!</p>

16

<p>MIT is almost always a no with a 750 math and non-perfect math 2. But I suppose anything’s possible.</p>

17

<p>Soo what about other schools??</p>

18

<p>I’m with most of the others.
You’ve got pretty excellent chances at NYU and below; above it gets kinda harder.</p>

<p>MIT / High reach
Stanford / High reach
Cooper Union (ED) / Reach
Princeton / Reach
Cornell / Reach
Rice / Low-mid reach
Carnegie Mellon / Low-mid reach
Northwestern / Low-mid reach
Vanderbilt / Reach
NYU / Match
University of Toronto / Match
University of McGill / Low match
Georgia Tech / Match
Texas at Austin / In
Ohio State / In
Texas A&M / In</p>

<p>Ugh that sucks. Would a good essay cover my bad score?
Also would coming from AL help much?</p>

20

<p>Unfortunately, places like MIT and Stanford have been getting stingier and more selective, so it would require more than a good essay to “hide” scores. Can you take the SAT again before your application is in?</p>

<p>It’s definitely better to be from Alabama than, for example, New York, but that’s likely to be only a “tiebreaker” statistic.</p>
