<p>3.6 unweighted and ranked #2??? Dang. Anyways, I think all the schools are a high match to low reach</p>

<p>I know it seems weird, haha. Truth is, I took BY FAR the most rigorous curriculum in my school, with 15 AP classes by the end of high school.</p>

<p>Hey I think you have a solid chance with your ec’s. Your GPA might be a slight problem but your ec’s will make up I think.</p>

<p>Johns Hopkins - High match
Georgetown- High match
NYU Stern - Reach (Math Level 1 jsut won’t cut it)
Brown- Low reach (cause of the ECs)
Penn CAS - Reach
UChicago - High Reach
Columbia- High reach
Northwestern - Reach
UVA - Match
UMichigan - High match</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>

<p>I think you have a great chance of getting into these schools. Your ECs are solid! The only thing that would probably be iffy would be your GPA, but im sure admissions also considers the difficulty of your schedule.</p>

<p>I actually think you’re set for most of these schools. Great stats… Though I don’t particularly know what is required of John Hopkins</p>

<p>Solid chances at UMich and UVA</p>

One of the first thing about “chances” is checking with the historical on college admission within your own school.</p>

<p>if your school does not have Naviance, you may want to reach out to your counselor to see how former students within your range did in the last application cycle to give you a baseline.</p>

<p>However, take that with a grain of salt as what a school looked for in its applicants last year may not be what they are looking for this year.</p>

<p>For the schools to which you are considering/have considered below are my questions.</p>

<p>Do you have peers applying as well and how do you think they stack up against you GPA, Scores, Rank, Awards, EC’s ?</p>

<p>Do you know if these students are getting into these schools to which you are applying? </p>

<p>Do you believe these students will garner similar LOR to what you have?</p>

<p>If all of the above are similar, its really hard to say, as the college will choose who they believe are the best fit for them.</p>

<p>Financial wise, NYU is infamous I understand for not so good aid and UMICH cost a lot for OOS if you are unable to secure one of their top scholarships. </p>

<p>Congrats, because you already have an acceptance under your belt.</p>

<p>Just got into NYU Shanghai.</p>

<p>Waitlisted by UChicago</p>
