<p>do you really need someone to tell you that you have the stats to get into good schools? really? dont wanna be mean here but cmon lol</p>

3

<p>Yeah. Someone has self validation problems. But I’m bored.</p>

<p>Princeton-Who knows
Yale-Who knows
Dartmouth-Low reach
Brown-Low reach
Georgetown SFS-Low reach
Duke-match
Davidson-in
Amherst-high match
Vanderbilt-low match
American-safety</p>

<p>Your statistics are exeptional! This is what I think:
Princeton-reach
Yale-reach
Dartmouth-Low reach
Brown-Low reach
Georgetown SFS-Low reach/high match
Duke-match
Davidson-low match
Amherst-high match
Vanderbilt-match
American-low match</p>

<p>Ivies can be spontaneous, but I believe you have a chance. Best of luck!</p>

<p>If math is remotely near your slice of cake, retake it and get an 800 on math. It can’t hurt you.</p>

<p>Your ECs seem really spread out though. Maybe consolidate in your essays?</p>

<p>Princeton- high reach
Yale-high reach
Dartmouth- reach
Brown- reach
Georgetown SFS-Low reach/high match
Duke-match
Davidson-low match
Amherst- match
Vanderbilt-match
American-low match</p>

<p>Hah math really is not remotely near my slice of cake. I got a 680 the first time and had to study really hard to get it to a 710. I know my ECs are spread out, but I’ve done a lot of them for all 4 years so that should help right?</p>

7

<p>Princeton- reach
Yale-high reach
Dartmouth- reach
Brown- reach
Georgetown SFS- low reach/high match
Duke-reach
Davidson-low match
Amherst- reach
Vanderbilt-match
American-low match</p>

<p>How are you guys saying that Duke and Amherst are matches, when you say schools such as Brown are reaches? Amherst and Duke are harder to get into - just because a school is an Ivy doesn’t make it more selective.</p>

8

<p>Well Duke “hooks” students from North and South Carolina so maybe that’s why, I agree about Amherst (although Brown is more selective than both of them, but I get the point)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>What do you mean by it “hooks” students?</p>

<p>And Brown is not more selective… don’t let acceptance rates fool you.<br>

<p>Honey child, you need to stop smokin’ that Asian crack that you been smokin’. You’re fiiiine. </p>

<p>(for best effect, read the above in the voice of a large black woman)</p>

12

<p>what me? lol… my bad~ (wait should I sound like some black gangsta?)
my bad if its getting annoyin’ :stuck_out_tongue: …</p>

13

<p>Duke “hooks” students from NC and SC by stating that at least 15% of their incoming class must be from the Carolinas, making the acceptance rate for people from the Carolinas hover around 1/3, much higher than average especially considering that they receive a lot more mediocre applicants form the Carolinas because they are doing an absurd reach that is close to home.</p>

<p>Those stats are interesting, I’d never seen that before eatsalot, thanks for the info. (but Brown is still more selective than Duke even by those standards)</p>

<p>And dreamsofivy I’m actually white haha</p>

14

<p>Don’t even bother to apply to Ivy League with those stats.</p>

</p>

<p>How? I’m not being antagonistic… I am just wondering.</p>

16

<p>Because Brown’s percent admitted is still lower right?</p>

17

<p>^Again, selectivity and acceptance rate do not necessarily correlate. Numbers, such as SAT scores, GPAs, and class rank (and subjectively, ECs) are a better comparison. Brown’s numbers are not superior to Duke’s or Amherst’s.</p>
