<p>Just keep in mind that the ivies are all reaches for anyone so its hard to tell; they’re very unpredictable. </p>

<p>Being a caucasian female definitely helps you. Your stats are pretty good as are your ECs. I’d say for ivies, you have a chance, but they’re still reaches (for everyone)</p>

<p>Harvard: Reach
Princeton: Reach
Yale: Reach
Penn: Reach/Low Reach
Brown: Reach/Low Reach
Georgetown: Low-Reach/High Match</p>

<p>Harvard: Reach

Penn: Low Reach
Brown: Low Reach
Georgetown: Hight Match</p>

<p>Look for a safety and you’ll be good. Going ED will help a lot.</p>

<p>HYP - Low Reach
Brown - High Match
UPenn - Match
Georgetown - Match</p>

<p>The only thing I can comment is that, while EC’s are definitely good and even what I’d call impressive (and I’m pretty harsh about judging EC’s), they’re not really focused. To add on, there are SO MANY. I can’t group them together in my mind and that will not be too good. STILL, DON’T WORRY. They are VERY good.</p>

<p>Your academics are solid. You should take two subject tests and get at least a combined 1500. (they don’t add them up; I’m just trying to give you an idea)></p>

<p>What do you want to major in? These schools are all over the place, and I can’t really see anyone applying to ALL of them… Maybe rethink?</p>

<p>I would call GT a match.
HYP is a huge reach (as they are for all)
Penn and Brown are low reaches (as in, you have a great shot. They are just selective).</p>

<p>@noel597 Thank you! I probably won’t end up applying to all of these schools. As far as a major goes- I’m not sure which direction I want to head in other than the sciences. If I do decide to pursue the sciences I may not apply to Georgetown either, although I fell in love with it on my first visit. Anyways, thanks again!</p>

<p>You stats are just average for all schools mentioned.
HYP: reach
Penn Brown Georgetown: Equally selective if you carefully compare the applicants’ stats ( class of 2018). You still have a good chance.
Please pay attention to Gerogetown, as they require/recommend

  1. Three SAT subject tests
  2. Non Common App( 2 Part)
  3. Personal Interview
    And if you are into IR, their SFS ( School of Foreign Service) is just as selective as HYP. </p>

<p>You simply cannot go wrong with any of these schools!</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
