<p>Cornell I would say you have a good shot at. Columbia and UPenn however are somewhat reachy. Don’t get me wrong, you are a strong applicant, but you aren’t super-epic-ultra amazing, which apparently is what those schools desire. Also, what is your expected major?</p>

<p>With your curent sat score, mid reach to Cornell and reach to the other two. If you raise it then high match/low reach to Cornell and mid reach to the other two.</p>

<p>If you get scores up to 2200:
Columbia: Match
Cornell: Match
Penn: High Match

<p>easy match for all of them if you get your SAT up. chance me plz <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/865369-me-cornell-brown-tufts-cmu-jhu-chances.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/865369-me-cornell-brown-tufts-cmu-jhu-chances.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

6

<p>math or econ :)</p>

7

<p>This is all dependent on if you get your sat up
Columbia- Mid to High Reach
UPENN-Mid Reach
Cornell-In</p>

8

<p>Columbia and Penn have similar admissions statistics…why would his chances be different?</p>

<p>Cornell is obviously easier to get into</p>

<p>You should get into Cornell, especially if you’re up to a 2200. Columbia and UPenn are definitely a bit tougher and could depend on factors beyond your control, so you should have a shot.</p>

<p>Lack of EC’s might be a bit detrimental as well as no awards</p>

11

<p>Columbia and UPenn are slight reaches, cornell is a match</p>

12

<p>If you get your SATs up to what you say then Columbia and Penn are reaches and Cornell is a low reach. The CR section of the SAT is arguably weighted the most heavily and a sub-700 is seriously detrimental to your application. The languages are fairly interesting, however you need to choose ECs and stick with them, you’re all over the place. I assume your rank is top 10%, otherwise you wouldn’t have bothered to make this thread, so I won’t comment on GPA.
Help out the chance game! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1029632-chance-person-before-you-thread-game.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1029632-chance-person-before-you-thread-game.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>You are a very strong applicant, the only weakness would be a pattern in your ECs. I think a lot of these competitive schools like to see passion about a particular subject, like journalism or engineering. I would say if you did something especially standout this summer that would boost your chances quite a bit for all these schools. Please chance me back! (:</p>
