Bump. Anyone else?

Tennessee: not familiar with it
Vanderbilt: low reach
Cornell Dyson: reach
Brown: reach/high reach (no one can really tell with Brown, though)
Yale: high reach

You’ve got some strong EC’s, but you might want to see if you can bump up your ranking (unless there’s an alum/rep near your high school who’s familiar with how competitive your school is and can tell this to the colleges).

If you have time, could you chance back? Thanks! http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1747436-chance-me-cornell-duke-washu-nwu-vandy-will-chance-back.html
