<p>I’d have confidence in getting into UMich, NYU, and Tufts. Barnard is a target, and with ED, I’d say you’ve got a better shot than most. Cornell, Penn, and Northwestern are crapshoots, but you may well get into one of them, because your resume doesn’t really have any flaws. If I was a betting man, I’d say Cornell, but who knows. Brown’s a reach, but that goes without saying, almost.</p>

3

<p>Thanks, I know that.</p>

<p>Oh I’m a legacy at Barnard (double), UPenn, and Tufts. I’ve went to Barnard Pre College Program, if any of that helps.</p>

4

<p>I think you have a pretty good chance at UMich and NYU, and Barnard if you apply ED. You should definitely apply to the others too, but you never really know with them.</p>

<p>btw, how do you have legacy at three different schools? doesn’t legacy only count at the universities each of your parents did their undergrad in?</p>

5

<p>Usually it does, but both my parents went to Columbia for graduate school, and we called Barnard, and they said they will treat that as a legacy (my parents are pretty involved in the CU alumni association, and we’ve met high ranking Barnard admissions officers at functions, etc).</p>

<p>Oh, also my dad’s friends donated a building to Penn haha.</p>

6

<p>The Ivies are reaches:</p>

<p>Brown said no to ~78% of those with an 800 SAT writing, ~79% of Valedictorians, 84% of Salutatorians, etc.</p>

<p>maybe you’ll get in, which’d be be great</p>

<p>seems a good plan to go ED to Barnard; ED tends to increase chances </p>

<p>good luck!!</p>

7

<p>ivies love personality. youve got the grades, just now show your great uniqueness - ie your passion for language. write an amazing essay. also make sure to note the medical issues. barnard for sure</p>

8

<p>thanks…anyone else, and suggestions for safeties would be great. I really like big state schools with good sports, that are also academically good!</p>

9

<p>Off the top, UCLA, USC, Univ. of Texas, Univ. of Washington, Berkeley, and UNC Chapel Hill are all massive schools with good/great spectator sports and above average academics at the least.</p>

10

<p>I really want to stay within the Northeast though.</p>

11

<p>bumpingggg</p>

12

<p>your EC are really good, and so is your SAT. You have a good chance the only thing is your GPA might be a little low.</p>

13

<p>I know. Grr…its due to medical problems soph year, which sucks for me. Junior year is a 3.96 UW though.</p>

14

<p>I’d suggest RD Barnard unless it’s truly your first choice.</p>

15

<p>Its my dream school-I’d pick it over any other school in the country, even Harvard or Yale.</p>

<p>Why? Do I have a worse chance ED?</p>

16

<p>Hannah
My daughter also had a 2290. She got in RD. You are fine!!!</p>

17

<p>Ok, I hope so! Its just so insanely competitive, nobody has that great of a chance.</p>

18

<p>you should be pretty good, but the ivies are so unpredictable that it’s hard to predict. I think you’ll get into NYU and Michigan pretty easily though.</p>
