<p>Unfortunately you’ve been given much bad advice here. That Brown is easier to get into than Penn is simply incorrect. Is also incorrect that it’s a match or that you have a 65% chance. I’d put it at 20%, but do the math yourself:</p>
<p>By the way, I completely disagree with Waverly. I think you have good grades and a above average SAT score, not to mention the amazing bunch of extracurriculars! I think you have a decent shot at the Ivies and a solid on at the other top schools.</p>
<p>Agreed with Waverly. You have great scores and great grades, but for the ivy’s you need to have the best scores and the best grades. Brown and Penn are reaches, but I don’t think you have a shot at Harvard. I would expect you to get into the other schools though.</p>
<p>^ Double agree. People have been overly optimistic on this thread. Your chances are good, not great, as your application is not outstanding in the Ivy pool. That being said, you have very good chances of getting into the other schools.</p>
<p>I agree with the last few posts. I never thought my chances were optimistic, whatsoever, at any of the Ivies. However, because you only apply to college once in your life (undergraduate), I said, “hey, why not?”</p>
<p>My one disagreement is about the SAT scores. Not me in particular, I know mine aren’t spectacular, but I don’t believe they are make or break. Obviously, they depict a student in a clear, standardized manner, but schools are tending to fade away from their use. Clearly, a CR score below a 700 isn’t a commonplace in an Ivy, but in my opinion, it won’t exempt you. </p>
<p>Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying I’m into the ivies…at all…I think they are HUGE reaches, but just as a general statement I believe the former is true.</p>
<p>Hey man… I think it’s gonna be hard to chance you as you are gonna use an eccentric essay…hahaha
Do you have any award. If not, I think you can start to underline your multi language skills in one part of your application…</p>
