<p>Harvard is a reach, Vandy and Rice are high matches. Make sure you apply to other schools.</p>

<p>Oh I also have three other safety schools</p>

<p>Why do you have an almost identical application as this user?<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1411316-chance-me-yale-vanderbilt.html#post15001529[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1411316-chance-me-yale-vanderbilt.html#post15001529&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Vanderbilt, Rice: GREAT CHANCES</p>

<p>Low SAT for Harvard and weak EC’s. Harvard is definitely a reach. Rice is more attainable but still a reach. Vandy is a match.</p>

<p>Don’t ignore the hook!
3.99 GPA and 34 ACT</p>

<p>I say OP has decent chance of getting merit money from Rice and Vandy.</p>

<p>Her being a Hispanic female should not be a determining factor in the admissions process (i.e. - “the hook”). Her test scores are impressive and definitely good enough for Rice/Vandy, but she doesn’t have many or impressive EC’s.</p>

<p>Harvard - Reach
Rice - Low Reach/High Match
Vandy - Match</p>

<p>Yeah I agree with Ukneadmorebread. Being a Hispanic with a 34 ACT will be a huge boost (I’m a Hispanic with a 34 myself heh), but won’t be the single determining factor. Your ECs are great, but nothing unique or extraordinary. You have pretty decent chances at Harvard, but it’s still a mid-reach. </p>

<p>Also, what is your class rank/percentile? Great UW GPA, but it’s hard to know where you stand just based on that. Your chances will vary based on being top 1% vs top 5% for instance. I wouldn’t worry though, you have fantastic chances at Rice (High Match?) and Vanderbilt (Match) in my opinion.</p>

<p>My school doesn’t rank</p>

14

<p>Yeah I will chance anyone back</p>

<p>Thanks for all the response by the way. I really appreciate everyone’s feedback.</p>
