<p>Final Notes:</p>

<p>I hope to major in some sort of engineering, but I might go medical.</p>

<p>Schools: Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, Northwesten, Uchicago,and maybe harvard(obvious reach)</p>

<p>Safeties: Auburn, Alabama, Georgia Tech</p>

<p>You didn’t mention being a URM, so these are assuming you are white or Asian:</p>

<p>Notre Dame - High Match/Low Reach
Vanderbilt - High Match
Northwestern - High Match/Low Reach
UChicago - 0% if you want to major in engineering, as they don’t have that major
Harvard - Reach</p>

<p>Very strong. You should be very competetive if you write a good essay</p>

<p>gpa woulda have helped ure chances if it was 3.9++//rank was better, but i do see some chance you’ll get into at least one of your reach schools if you write good essays (I think you’ll be borderline really)</p>

<p>GL to u</p>

<p>chance me back :slight_smile: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/789599-chance-me-rice-ed.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/789599-chance-me-rice-ed.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I would agree with the above, if you want to get into Notre Dame, write an essay that proves to them you want to be there.</p>

<p>If you wouldn’t mind chancing me, I’d be appreciative.</p>

<p>I think my essay should be good on account of the fact that my senior year engineering class is based on inventing and engineering a product. It’s very easy to write about and sets me apart from the crowd.</p>

<p>You should be set for all of them (Harvard you have a chance if you impress them with your essay), except as Michael noted above, UChicago has no engineering program.</p>

<p>Strong shot at all with great essays! Similar to all the above posters</p>
