<p>What’s your GPA? I’m sure you have a great shot at Oberlin and Mac, my first and second choices. You can probably do better as far as LACs go, if you want, though many of the deadlines have passed for top schools.</p>

<p>It’s not really worth asking for chances on Ivies and such. No one can really tell you more than you can’t figure out by looking at the average stats and such.</p>

3

<p>I’m not familiar with Macalester or Oberlin, but you have a good chance of getting into Brown and Columbia. Your SAT scores are pretty good and you have a lot of ECs. What is your gpa?</p>

4

<p>Chances are pretty good. You are set with almost every aspect… now, it is up to your writing! </p>

<p>Macalester and Oberlin, in! (i think…)</p>

<p>Columbia and Brown… impress them! </p>

<p>Good Luck! Maybe i’ll see you at Columbia next year…?</p>

5

<p>You sound unique enough that they all may have interest in your application. Good luck!</p>

6

<p>You sound like a great fit for Oberlin. It would be a wonderful school for you.</p>

7

<p>Macalester - In
Oberlin - In
Brown - Reach
Columbia - Reach</p>

<p>I think you have an incredible shot at all of these schools. The only thing that will negatively affect your application is the 670 math. Despite your mediocre math score, your writing abilities are strong enough to make up for it. The background (having a low-income and being gay in the South) only adds to your application. I’m gay myself; how do you survive out there? I can only imagine, though that sadly I can’t think it’s not a whole lot better where I am now :/</p>

<p>Good luck! Chance me back?
