<p>Chance me early for UVA, MIT, Villanova, and Boston College.
Also chance me regular for Vanderbilt, Wash U in St. L, Yale, Princeton, Upenn, Rice, and Carnegie Mellon.

SAT: 2340 (800m, 740cr, 800w) 2 times
SAT IIs: 800 math 2, 800 chem
AP scores: BC calc (5), Chem (5)
Ranking: n/a
ECs:
-Cross Country and Track (4 years)
-Model UN Club (also leadership position) (4 years)
-Math tutoring (maybe like 30-40 hrs/yr) (4 years)
-Science-related Internship (12th grade)
Awards/Honors:
-National Merit Semifinalist
-NHS member
-Honor roll</p>

<p>Also, I've done some summer programs and some other stuff.</p>

<p>My School:
-Highly ranked school
-I've taken up to multivariable calculus in math and I've taken probably 4 AP and 1 IB HL classes (which is a good number for my school.)
race: white.</p>

<p>I'm worried that I don't have enough extracurriculars/they don't show my interest in math or science too well. Any other ideas for what schools I should apply regular to (I'm into science/engineering but I like other stuff too)?</p>

<p>And I'll chance you back when I have time. Thanks!</p>

<p>Reach: Yale, Upenn,MIT. Rice, Vandy,(too generic ECs)
Match: WUSTL, Uva,</p>

<p>Anything else I can do at this point EC-wise?</p>

<p>not really, unless you win a state award or a national award.</p>

<p>Or if you write a thesis of some sort or invent something. lol</p>

<p>bump. Any other opinions?</p>

<p>bump</p>

<p>Not really, other than what I and IAmTheGOAT said. There isn’t anything you really can do EC wise</p>

<p>I meant like any other opinions in terms of chances. And also paul, would you say those schools are high, mid, or low reaches?</p>

<p>I think the fact that you are White with a 2340 in math will make an impact - even at the best schools. I think you have a good shot at UVa, Vandy, and CM. Hopefully you can write strong essays.</p>

<p>All that being said, there isn’t a true safety school on this list. I’m not sure if thats because you arent considering them, or if you just dont care to be “chanced” for them on this forum. Either way, consider a few safties.</p>

<p>Chance me?

<p>I’m not too worried about safeties at this point. My plan is to see where I get in early and then decide how many/what safeties I apply to for regular.</p>

<p>If you are applying for FA, you don’t have any safeties.</p>

<p>I’m not</p>

<p>Wow so your stats are stellar :slight_smile: I can’t see you being rejected based on those stats, so if your essays are good, I couls see you getting in anywhere. BC,Rice,Vandy UPenn, UVA, and CMU are all matches. And I wouldn’t be surprised if you got into Yale, WashU, Princeton, or even MIT (which I think is the hardest to get into). Nova is a safety :). Best of luck!</p>

<p>Thanks ! Any other thoughts?</p>

<p>The ivies and MIT are reaches, but this doesn’t mean you’re not a strong candidate for admission. You have solid grades and test scores, and there’s a good chance that you get accepted into one of those elite schools. I like your odds a lot.</p>

<p>Chance me! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1705418-brown-chance-me.html#latest”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1705418-brown-chance-me.html#latest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>thanks for all of the opinions! I chanced all who gave a link.</p>

<p>You have solid test scores and grades, but I have concerns about your strength of schedule and extra curricular… How much interest have you shown in these schools? I think that while you have a chance, these elite schools may want to see more AP classes and maybe more extra curriculars that you’re passionate about. Essays and recs could play a role, especially if they’re effective. Consider added 2-3 safeties or targets to your list to widen your options. Good luck! </p>

<p>Chance back
