<p>I am more than willing to chance back</p>

<p>Dream:Yale, MIT, Dartmouth ->>> Al very hard to get into. I’ll give about a 1/10 chance (not trying to be rough, but everyone qualified has a low chance)
Reach: Bowdoin (top choice) Very good chance. Show interest! Atleast a 1/2 chance - maybe higher. Brandeis 3/5. Pomona 1/3ish. Vassar 2/5ish. Lafayette 4/6. Hamilton 4/6.
Match: St. Lawrence , Franklin and Marshall <– Both basically in if you show interest (as they don’t see you as the overqualified saftey applicant) Sarah Lawrence 9/10.
Good luck! </p>

<p>Chance back?

<p>Thanks, any more suggestion ?</p>

10

<p>Anyone else can chance me ??</p>

11

<p>Pomona 50%?? Whether you get accepted to any of these schools as an international depends on whether you can afford your own education or not. A small famous liberal arts school like Pomona will probably not be able to finance your studies. I think your list looks good. I also think if you are not applying for financial aid, then you can get into a lower ivy, and possibly pomona or another famous liberal arts school.</p>

12

<p>That’s true. Financial aid is gonna kill me. As I have seen on Pomona website, they said they would meet the need as long as you were admitted. </p>

<p>Any more suggestion and chance ??</p>

13

<p>Can I have some more suggestions please ??</p>

<p>I will be willing to chance back</p>

14

<p>can I have some more suggestions please ??</p>

15

<p>Hamilton is easy as balls to get into. You have a good shot.</p>

16

<p>Are you being sarcastic ???</p>

17

<p>No, I’m not. It really is.
I know a kid with a 3.2 GPA who got in. She was far from exceptional, even personality wise. You will get in no problem!!!</p>

18

<p>Interesting, she must had an exceptional essay since I know Hamilton is really strong about writing.</p>

<p>Any more suggestion, chance ?</p>

19

<p>I have just looked at some other threads of people having 3.9 GPA and 34 ACT and got rejected from top schools. </p>

<p>So do I still stand a chance with my scores like this ?</p>

<p>Can anyone chance me ?</p>

<p>Can I have some more suggestions ??</p>

<p>I will be willing to chance back</p>
