<p>You are without question in at UW-Madison and colgate, and probably in at tufts, and carleton. Probably UChicago as well. The rest are slight reaches except williams which could be a little more of areach but you got a great chance there too. </p>

<p>Now that I have given you your chances, I have to say that I don't understand the rationale behind your college list. You have one big state school, which probably means you are from wisconsin. UW, Carleton, Tufts, Northwestern, Brown, and Dartmouth make sense together. Williams, Colgate, and U Chicago? Williams is in the middle of no where while U Chicago is in a ghetto (I've been there, it's on the south side.) Colgate...why? Would you go there over UW-Madison?</p>

4

<p>haha. thanks for the chances.</p>

<p>Madison is my safety, while Colgate is sort of a match/slight reach school that I really like. I would prefer to go to a school in the "middle of nowhere," such as Dartmouth, Colgate, and Williams, and actually Carleton too, because over the summer I did an internship in this very remote area, and I loved the feeling of the tight knit community and the beautiful outdoors. That being said, Williams is my top choice because of it's size and awesome resources. If I could get in ED I would be happy beyond belief.</p>

5

<p>Fair enough, didn't mean to come off as a jerk in the last post. What about UChicago? If you are looking for that isolation feel, UChicago won't give you that.</p>

6

<p>haha, no you never came off as a jerk, i was just explaining a little. I like U Chicago's academic atmosphere, although it is too competitive for me. The campus is beautiful too.</p>

7

<p>anyone else?</p>

8

<p>did you ED anywhere?</p>

9

<p>chance me back if you can find my post.
=&lt;/p>

<p>here's my opinion:
UWM, Colgate have the highest chance of getting in
Tufts, Carleton are fifty-fifty
UChicago, Northwestern 30-40% chance
Brown, Dartmouth, Williams 10-20% chance</p>

<p>good luck with ED!</p>

11

<p>Waaaait you're taking 3 classes as a senior?!</p>

12

<p>Didn't you make another chance thread less than a week ago? Relax, it's going to be okay!</p>

13

<p>^^im not so sure about that. :)</p>

<p>my school runs on a block schedule, meaning we have only 4 classes a day. orchestra and this other class switch off, so we don't get quarter grades until the end of the semester.</p>

14

<p>If I were you I would add a couple more schools within reach - particularly Middlebury and Bowdoin.</p>

15

<p>A 1470/1600 is well above the 25th percentile of matriculated students at all of your listed schools. You should be admitted ED to Williams College. Although your numbers are strong, you still need to write a compelling & convincing application for schools like Dartmouth, Brown, Northwestern & Tufts. Carleton, Chicago, Colgate & Wisconsin should be a bit easier for you than the other 4 schools (not counting your Williams ED app). Based on your second post in this thread, you may want to take slipper's advice and apply to Bowdoin & Middlebury; I suggest dropping Tufts, Chicago & Northwestern from your list if you really want a small, remote, isolated LAC family like feel.</p>

16

<p>thanks! I was seriously considering Middlebury, but I never thought it would be within reach. If you say it is, I will definitely apply.</p>

17

<p>Lol Williams, Dartmouth, and Brown within reach but not Middlebury? Midd is less selective than all of these by a decent margin!</p>

18

<p>haha yeah i guess that's true. i actually meant that i thought middlebury was as selective as williams and such.</p>

19

<p>Williams (ED)- reach
Northwestern- low reach
Tufts- match
Dartmouth- high reach
Carleton- in
Brown- reach
U Chicago- high match
Colgate- in
UW Madison- In</p>
