<p>Even though you’re a strong applicant with high SATs and a pretty solid GPA, Ivies are somewhat unpredictable, and you have quite a few of them on there. If you have strong essays and recommendations, I can see you being a match to Georgetown and Chicago, and a mid-high reach for the others. Remember that institutions of this calibre aren’t exactly looking for someone who has all the highest numbers on their app, they’re looking for a group of individuals that all bring something to the academic community of the school.</p>

<p>Thanks, you’re absolutely right.
I’d like more opinions, so I’m gonna shamelessly self-bump. :P</p>
