Chance Me... I PROMISE to Chance Back!

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi.</p>

<p>I'm a senior at a very good public high school in New Jersey and am curious of my chances for the following:</p>

<ul>
<li>Yale (deferred EA)</li>
<li>Dartmouth (brother goes there)</li>
<li>Princeton (mom went there, 2 aunts went there, grandpa taught there)</li>
<li>Brown</li>
<li>Harvard</li>
<li>Amherst</li>
<li>Williams</li>
<li>Middlebury</li>
<li>Georgetown</li>
</ul>

<p>*My safety schools are Colby, Lafayette and Michigan (already got in).</p>

<p>Here are my stats:</p>

<ul>
<li>4.0 GPA (my school doesn't rank but I am probably in the top 5-10 people out of a class of 350)</li>
<li>2380 SAT (800V, 800W, 780M)</li>
<li>800 and 760 on 2 SAT IIs</li>
</ul>

<p>I have taken the hardest course load at my school (4 APs up until this year - all 5s) and am taking another 3 this year.</p>

<p>I am an all-state trumpet player, editor of the school paper, president of the community service club, captain of the nationally-recognized quiz bowl team, and have helped found a service non-profit that has raised over $20,000 (and has been recognized by CNN).</p>

<p>Main Awards: National Merit Semifinalist, Cum Laude, Harvard Book Award, Cornell Book Award, AP Scholar with Honor, President's Volunteer Service Award, Scholastic Writing Award (National Gold Medal)</p>

<p>Thoughts? Please help me out.</p>

<p>HYP-mid reach (reach for everyone, you have a great application though)
Dartmouth-low meach/high match
Brown-as close as you can be to a match for an ivy league school.
Rest-in</p>

<p>You have great academics and your non profit work is awesome.</p>

<p>Your best bet is Princeton, being a legacy. (I bet that is why you were deferred from Yale.) Dartmouth is a maybe with your brother there. You have the stats for all. The legacy hook will be the strongest tip.</p>

<p>id say your stats match with all of those schools, but you probably have a better chance at princeton</p>

<p>Yale - reach; very few people are ever accepted after being deferred.
Dartmouth - low to mid reach
Princeton - low reach b/c of legacy
Brown - mid reach
Harvard - reach (because it’s Harvard)
Amherst - low reach
Williams - low reach
Middlebury - match
Georgetown - match</p>

<ul>
<li>Yale (deferred EA): Reach, I agree with the post above
-Harvard, Princeton: you have the stats and you have a great shot but with those two schools, you really never know what will happen
-Amherst, Williams: high match
-Brown, Dartmouth: high match/low reach
-GTown: match
-Middlebury: match</li>
</ul>

<p>Chance back?
