<p>Schools:
Harvard
Yale (deferred SCEA, FML!!! I'm trying to figure out what went wrong. I should've just stuck to Stanford SCEA like my counselor told me to :/)
Princeton
Stanford
MIT
Colombia
UC Berkeley
Brown PLME
Dartmouth
Rice
UPenn Wharton
UChicago
WashU
Emiry
Williams (it's ranked #1 in liberal arts, but I don't know that much about LACs; safety)
Pamona (my school counselor recommended; safety)
Kenyon (my school counselor recommended; safety)
Bowdin (my school counseor recommended; safety)</p>

<p>My essays were GREAT and I hope my recommendations were good.</p>

<p>According to my counselor, all of my LACs are safeties because no one knows about them and they're easy to get into. Any other safeties on the list?</p>

<p>PLEASE GIVE ME CHANCES! I WILL CHANCE BACK, YO!</p>

<p>…if you’re were really <em>that</em> great, then you should’ve been able to spell “Emory”, “Bowdoin”, and “Pomona” correctly -_- .</p>

<p>I smell a ■■■■■! Not even a good ■■■■■.</p>

<p>I Don’t smell ■■■■■. Lots of kids read like him and they are the ones getting into top colleges though many don’t. There are too many threads here with kids with 2200s and no great ECs being told they are a match for ivies. I can see the confusion!</p>

<p>If your essays and recs were “GREAT”, I think you would have made it into Yale SCEA. I’d revisit the essays.</p>

11

<p>I would say most are reaches, but after I read the last few lines of your post, I saw the “Good Citizenship Award”. I think that might just be your ticket in to all those schools.</p>

<p>I mean clearly, there is no honor greater than that of the “Good Citizenship Award”.</p>

<p>hahaha u guys are so mean mannn. give this guy a break. </p>

<p>I think ur chances for those schools are amazing. what else can be said, ur a super strong candidate. Just take it easy and hope for the best. :)</p>
