<p>Chicago= Match
UWash= Safety
Brown= High Match
Cornell= Match
WashU= Match
UPenn= low reach
Dartmouth= High Match
HYPS= Reach but you have an EXCELLENT shot at them with your scores and ECs. Your chances will increase if you formulate a hook and show a lot of passion and initiative in your application.</p>

<p>Chance back?</p>

<p>I would say you’re almost certain to get into UWash, UChicago, Cornell, and Dartmouth. The rest are all determined by how impressively you frame your application and whether or not you have an effective hook. Good luck!</p>

<p>Just show risky are your essays lol? Oh doesn’t matter. I think you are going to get accepted to all. Just play up on your involvement outside of academics! Chance me? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/816473-chance-aa-female-elite-schools-updated-stats.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/816473-chance-aa-female-elite-schools-updated-stats.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>only thing bringing you down is lack of involvement in clubs/organizations? also what awards have you won? otherwise it’s simply outstanding…</p>

<p>University of Chicago EA - in
U of Washington - in
Brown - match
Cornell - match
Wash. U. in St. Louis - in
UPenn - match
Dartmouth - low-reach to match</p>

<p>For all the rest (Stanford, Yale, Princeton, Harvard), they seem like toss-ups because you are amazing in some areas but lacking in that one area (clubs, organizations), and you didn’t mention the awards you’ve garnered? I’m sure you’ve gotten a few. But I’d say you have a good shot at each of them except Stanford, which really looks for leadership and entrepreneurship I think…</p>

<p>i really like that u sent risky essay, as far as i know uchicago loves unusual essays plus that puts you apart from tons of standard essays about how much they want to attend that or another university
i would say chicago - probably match
ivies will be positive about you so their decision will only be based about contrast to the rest of the applicants. so i would say low reach to match on all of them
upenn - in
wustl - in
gratz on great stats
if you have time plz chance me back

<p>lock for the others</p>

<p>HYPS is reach for everyone as u know, but u r a top notch applicant.
for others u have pretty good chance of getting in.
ur scores are good enough, EC’s are good although it would be better if u had a few more of them.
and awards might be needed.</p>

15

<p>You’ll be a top applicant wherever you apply. Harvard, Yale, Princeton are all extraordinarily difficult but you seem to be on par. Just as everybody else said, frame your application in a flattering light, show that you are unique, and make them feel you’d add to the rest of the college community. Great shot and good luck!</p>

<p>o___o.</p>

<p>Why are you applying to UW?!</p>

<p>Do you live in Washington? Otherwise, I see no reason why you would want to apply there.</p>
