<p>Hey all! I'm looking for a bit of advice and guidance in the college applications maze. I'm a rising senior and have put together a tentative list of colleges, but I'm not sure if I stand a chance. Any and all insight is welcome. Thanks!</p>
<p>Here's my list:
Yale (possibly SCEA)
Columbia
UPenn (possibly ED)
Brown
Cornell
Tufts
NYU
Williams (possibly ED)
Amherst (possibly ED)
Middlebury
Bowdoin
Haverford
Vassar
Wesleyan
Colby
Bates</p>
<p>Male from New York. I'm of south Asian heritage (Bangladesh) and I'm Muslim. I have a broad range of interests. I plan to study either biology, english, government, or a combination of the three in college (not sure if any of this matters, but thought I'd include it).
GPA UW: 3.84
Top 5% out of a class of 580 at a public school</p>

<p>Misc.:
I attended the Columbia University Summer Program for high school students, where I took a creative writing workshop.
I also have had a personal essay published in an anthology of young writers' works. </p>
<p>I think my essay(s) are very good and unique. Also I think my teacher recs will be very good. </p>
<p>I'm most worried about my really subpar SAT subject test scores and AP scores. Will these really negatively impact my application, as in is this a dealbreaker of any sort?</p>
<p>Please be honest about my chances!
Sorry about the long post!
Thanks!</p>
