<p>Great teacher recs, great essay (hopefully)
Would need aid</p>
<p>I’m not sure if the grandparent makes you a legacy, but if he does, you will lose the legacy by not applying ED (can you still change?).</p>
<p>You have similar stats to a ton of ivy applicants so kids that look like you at our schools are really encouraged to apply ED. Short of that, use the essay the best you can to stand out. Or hopefully you’re from Alaska! Good luck!</p>
<p>Your rank is good, but won’t work to your advantage for UPenn or Brown. I would say apply ED like 2college said, and/or put in tons of effort on your essay. You should get into BC and NYU. Cornell, UVA, and Dartmouth are maybe’s, but you have a strong chance nevertheless. Good luck.</p>
<p>There is no way to be certain. I would say
Penn-reach
Dartmouth-reach
Cornell-reach
UVA-match
NYU-match
BC-match
Remember there are thousands of other kids applying to the same schools with the same resumes. The key is to stand out.</p>
