Chance Me for Colleges! (I'll Chance Back)

<p>wait my stats arent particularly great? dammit someone else said my stuff was ok :confused: ughhhh</p>

<p>would this combo work?</p>

<p>NYU (Stern)-ED
University of Chicago-EA
University of North Carolina (Kenan-Flagler)-EA
University of Michigan (Ross)-EA</p>

<p>??</p>

<p>Stern seems like more of a likely thing to happen than wharton</p>

<p>damn bro
living up to the name I see
I wasn’t implying your stats weren’t great. They are.
wait so u really want to go to nyu stern</p>

<p>You’ll mos likely get in there
they love high SATs, so I think you’re good there</p>

<p>nah i rly wanted to go to wharton but everyones telling me how my chances are slim there, which kinda brought me down, but i heard stern is rly good too and its ranked up there with wharton</p>

<p>i was also thinking about northwestern for ED, still unsure</p>

<p>AnxiousRon, there’s alot of misinformation and confusion in this thread. I’d wait for one of the more experienced members to come along and help you out, like Catria or Bubbles for Sale.</p>

<p>latitude, what type of misinformation is there? and yes, i am very confused since ppl are all saying different stuff. are you a more experienced member?</p>

<p>ya don’t put too much stock into what in saying
I’m just talking to quell that anxiety of yours</p>

<p>Chicago EA: you have a decent shot if your essays are stellar. I got into Chicago but it’s not my top choice, which is why I’m still applying. Don’t listen to anyone. My uncle is an admissions counselor at Columbia. I showed him your stats and this is what he said word for word: “Being a New Yorker, you might have a difficult time being accepted into a great school than someone from Kansas. That does not mean that you won’t get in. You have great statistics and most of the schools listed will accept you. Penn is no guarantee for anyone unless you find a cure for AIDS or win an Olympic Medal. I would accept you in a hearbeat if your had stellar essays.”
See, the people giving you different opinions are wrong. Just trust me on this one. All you need to do is keep your GPA and write great essays. Then you’re set and whether or not you get into your dream school you will get into an amazing school because it helps that you ar RICH. Like I said before apply to WashU. They are not need-blind and your stats are above there requirements.</p>

<p>UNC-Kenan-Flagler: Match (if in-state)/Reach (if OOS; you may as well be applying to Cornell-Dyson; high match if you do not want to attend KF)
NYU Stern: Low match/Match
Brown: Reach
Yale: Reach
UPenn-Wharton: Reach
NWU: High match
U Chicago-Booth: High match (if you write stellar essays, that is)
Cornell-Dyson: Reach
UVA-McIntire: Match (you don’t get into McIntire before junior year)
CMU-Tepper: High match
UMI-Ross: Match
JHU: High match
Emory: Match (as with McIntire, Goizueta isn’t gotten into as a freshman)</p>

<p>lemme hold a dollar
lol jk but serioulsy ur at a match/high match for most of these schools. Yale and brown are reaches.</p>

<p>haha thanks alot for your insight guys</p>

<p>if anyone else who knows to a decent extent to what they are talking about, would like to add stuf, please do so! :)</p>

<p>also, what is the deal with interviews? like should i do one for each school that im applying to? also, do i have to travel to that specific school campus and talk with someone from inside of the building? because if thats the case, since im applying to schools all over the country, wont that be a lot of time, effort, and money spent?</p>

<p>Most schools reach out to you for alumni interviews. Alumni from the school interview you in a city near you; therefore you don’t need to spend much time or money. For about 90% of schools, you only get an interview if the alumni contacts you and if one is available. Some schools require you to reach out to them and then they find someone near you, and if no alumni lives in your area then you do a phone interview or skype interview. However, interviews do not really affect decisions unless you do really bad or do really well an you’re on the borderline.</p>

<p>You will get in to at least one of the selective schools</p>

<p>is it true that uchicago is fulla nerd and like rly boring people though? “where fun goes to die”
 like idk if i would want to spend 4 years of my life in an environment surrounded by books, tests, and assignments
</p>

<p>Seems like you don’t have a clear passion, based off your ECs. What do you plan to major in? Good stats, though.</p>

<p>No, I don’t think your grades are holding you back. Thousands of students have perfect scores, but the main reason they do is because of mediocre or nonexistent extra-curriculars. You have really good EC’s and show a lot of leadership, which will be viewed favorably by admission officers. Colleges also like to see if an applicant has a passion for something, rather than just dabble in everything just to decorate their application. I’d say you have a pretty good chance at most of the schools you listed. I think the only reach would be Brown or Upenn, but you still have a very good chance. Good luck! Chance me back?
