<p>I’ll beam over my response from your other topic.</p>
<p>Mich - don’t know
Tulane - don’t know
Princeton - probably mid- to high- reach
Upenn - low-reach or match
Boston College - low-reach or match
Yale - depends on how good of an essay you write, recs…I think you should emphasize your involvement on these peer leader, anti-drug groups you’re involved in somehow…probably mid-reach overall though
Harvard - mid- to high- reach
Vanderbilt - hmm, not too familiar with Vanderbilt but I’d say low-reach or match
Cornell - again, not too familiar but I’d say mid- to low- reach.
Duke - very very high chance of getting in lol</p>
<p>You have pretty good EC’s, but you didn’t list how long you’ve been with each one. If you do that in another thread, it might make chancing you more accurate.</p>
<p>Mich-In
Tulane-In
Princeton-High Reach
Upenn-Reach
Boston College-Match
Yale-High Reach
Harvard-High Reach
Emory-In
Vanderbilt-In
Cornell-Match-Low Reach/Match
Duke-In (if that rec from your dad’s friend goes through - otherwise, I’d say match/low reach)</p>
<p>Mich - match
Tulane - no idea
Princeton - reach
Upenn - reach
Boston College - low reach
Yale - reach
Harvard (receive mail from Harvard all the time) - reach
Emory - match

<p>Mich= match
Tulane= low match
Princeton, Penn, Yale, Hahvahd= reach (you grades and scores don’t help much)
Emory, Cornell= low reach/ high match</p>
<p>Tulane youre in. BC, Cornell, Michigan, emory, and vandy are high matches (youll get into one or two of them i think). The rest are reaches, which are tough, but you do have great essays so who knows?</p>
<p>Mich-In

<p>you’re probably in at all of them except princeton, penn, yale, harvard. those are high reaches bc of grades and sat but depending on how high performing your school is thats forgivable</p>
