Chance Me For a Chocolate Chip Cookie!

<p>I think that you have solid chances at all of these schools. The fact that you got a 4 on BC calc ap might hurt you for a shot at carnegie mellon but i wouldnt fret over it too much. Solid EC’s and well rounded SAT scores, perfect scores are not always the best. You are a great candidate at just about any school.</p>

<p>Cornell - Great Chance
Columbia - Reach
Northwestern - Match
Carnegie Mellon - Match
UI Urbana-Champaign - In
University of Michigan Ann Arbor EA - In
New York University - In
UC Berkeley - Low-Reach
UCLA - Low-Reach</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>@raider1999; malbano17: Thanks so much!</p>

<p>Heh, didnt do too well on the AP tests this year, but I thought colleges don’t really look at them as part of your application?</p>

<p>BUMP! : )</p>

<p>I think the now-rising issue of grade inflation is forcing colleges to look at standardized scores a bit more closely- but I doubt that a 4 or two will hurt your chances that much</p>

<p>@idontjoke: what’s the meaning of “Great Chance” haha – would that be a reach?</p>

<p>@raider1999: Yea, I agree, too many schools giving out 4.0s for free these days</p>

<p>BUMP! : )</p>

<p>I’m mainly here for the cookie, but here’s a chance.</p>

<p>Northwestern
Carnegie Mellon
UI Urbana-Champaign
University of Michigan Ann Arbor EA
New York University
^These are all safeties/matches. </p>

<p>UC Berkeley
UCLA
^High match. Do you need financial aid?</p>

<p>Cornell is a low reach. Since you’re applying ED, you’re probably in, though that’s not a guarantee.</p>

<p>@Spatula: Thanks for chancing : ) A delicious cookie has now appeared in your mind! haha
and I will not be applying for financial aid from the UCs – Thanks again!</p>

<p>BUMP! : )</p>

<p>Cornell CALS ED - low reach ( You can never tell with IVIES)
Columbia SEAS - high reach
Northwestern - match
Carnegie Mellon - match
UI Urbana-Champaign - not sure
University of Michigan Ann Arbor EA - match
New York University - def match
UC Berkeley - low reach
Thanks for the chance :)</p>

<p>@priyankssxo: Thanks so much for the chance! Yep, admission can get a bit crazy sometimes for almost every top school in the country (both in a good way and bad way haha).</p>

<p>BUMP! : )</p>

<p>NYU- match
Cornell- low-reach. I would imagine if you beasted the other parts of the application, you would be accepted
Coumbia- reach. </p>

<p>Not as familiar with the others, but with your stats, you have a great shot at a lot of the top schools.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Cornell CALS ED about 50%
Columbia SEAS about 40%
New York University about 80%</p>

<p>Tried to use percentages like you asked. Don’t know enough about the other schools to chance.</p>

<p>@Zoidberg93: Thanks so much! You’re the first one to follow directions :stuck_out_tongue: jkjk </p>

<p>I greatly appreciate everyone who responded! Thanks! </p>

<p>BUMP! : )</p>

<p>Cornell CALS ED - You have a chance!
Columbia SEAS - I think it’s a chance less than Cornell. Columbia can be tricky to predict
Northwestern - Match
Carnegie Mellon - Match
UI Urbana-Champaign - Match
University of Michigan Ann Arbor EA - Match
New York University - In! (and jealous)
UC Berkeley - Somewhat of a reach
UCLA - ^^ same</p>

<p>Good luck! I think the only thing that’s standing in your way is the GPAs. They’re very good, but the other applicants could be better. Although, you’ve definitely outweighed the GPAs with your SATs!</p>

<p>I can say that for all your colleges, especially Northwestern and NYU, you are a definite in. For columbia, it’s a little bit of a reach, so I suggest writing an excellent essay and that’ll definitely put you over the top. With Ivies, it’s always hard to tell, but your ec’s and especially your SAT are great, so you should be fine. Consequently, I can see you getting a lot of those acceptance letters! :slight_smile: Goodluck!</p>

<p>Chance me back please! </p>

<p>@pchs10: When you say “you have a chance” do you mean a reach/low reach or what? haha – Thanks for chancing though! It was very helpful : )</p>

<p>@lysolwipes14105: Thanks! I will definitely keep that in mind! Unfortunately, I took a look at your Chance thread and frankly I am not very familiar with the schools you are applying to. I won’t chance you simply because I don’t want to make any mistakes and look like an idiot :stuck_out_tongue: However, I think that your GPA will definitely hurt you in the long run, but you can definitely balance that with a strong SAT score and essay! Thanks again.</p>
