<p>Those are my reach schools, although I'm not so sure I want to waste around $80 on Cornell.</p>

<p>UW GPA: 3.77</p>

<p>Course load: 9 AP courses upon graduation(chem, US I+II(I know, it's dumb, my state requires two years of US history),English lang, Spanish lang, calc BC, Mandarin, psych, bio), the rest honors courses. Also, I self-studied for the environmental science and world history AP exams. </p>

<p>Work Experience: Worked full time at McDonald's last summer (40 hrs/wk), Worked at Boston Market for two years (~15 hrs/wk), Working at a bank as a teller for over a year now (~15 hrs/wk).

<p>You have a good chance for all those schools. Good scores and Good ECs. If you get that SAT score up to the 2150+ range then your good for cornell.</p>

<p>You look like a solid candidate. If you want to boost your chances and you’re sure about Cornell (or one of the others) you should consider going for early decision.</p>

<p>Hmmm, really? I thought I was way out of range for these schools. My SAT-taking ability is horrible and I’ve already put in countless hours to walk away with the 2010; I don’t think I want to put in much more time just to improve to 2150+.</p>

<p>I’m really definite about UChicago, more so than Georgetown. Cornell is just tentative though, I’m not really sure.
Some other places I’ll be applying:
Columbia (ED)
NYU
Maybe GWash
Rutgers NB
SUNY Stony Brook</p>

<p>I just made this thread because I wanted to see where I stand with these schools. I’ll definitely be applying to UChicago EA, but the others are restrictive so it’s a no-go. I’m kind of just looking at options since I don’t really have a good standing on where I want to apply. Unfortunately my countless uses of college search engines and creations of threads on the College Search board have been inconclusive.</p>

<p>Hahah I applied to Harvard and MIT even with similar SAT scores but well ah … :stuck_out_tongue: </p>

<p>anyways</p>

<p>Cornell being an ivy will be a low reach , UChicago is again like a low reach… and dont know much about Georgetown </p>

<p>chance back!
