<p>Please Chance me to the preceding schools. Thanks a Bunchh xD</p>

<p>I think you have a legitimate shot at HYP and columbia. I would say chicago is very likely</p>

<p>HYP - reaches
Columbia - low reach
uchicago - i’d be pretty surprised if you didn’t get in here</p>

<p>reason im calling HYP and columbia reaches is coz your EC’s don’t really stand out amongst the people who are applying to these top tier schools :o, despite your stellar grades,</p>

<p>although adcoms will probs see that there aren’t that many national opportunities compared to the states if ye live in the middle east, i lived there for 17 years of my life so i’d know :P</p>

<p>hope ye get in where ye want though =)</p>

<p>Thank you so much for your comments ;]</p>

<p>Those are tough schools to get into, but I think you have a chance! </p>

<p>Can you answer the question I posted for you on this post?</p>

<p>I have a friend who got into UChicago (with much lower stats) just by his essays with a big scholarship. So try to write really good ones, and you’ll be golden!</p>

<p>Thanks all</p>

<p>Yea, I think you’re in at Uchicago and HYP. I mean your stats are great for Columbia and I think you have an OK shot, but because its an IVY its a reach for everyone.</p>

<p>You want to go to med school/become a doctor, correct? I know it’s a bit late to be giving essay advice, but did you try to connect your passion for the Ethical Issues Club with some of the ethical dilemmas and implications of being a doctor? That would have been a strong essay, I think.</p>

<p>Anyway. Your stats are flawless, so it will probably come down to your essays and personality. I think you have a reasonable chance of being accepted anywhere.</p>

<p>I think your chances are good; however, as someone already stated, with the competitiveness of your prospective schools, I can’t say for sure!
Good luck.</p>

<p>HYP-reach, they’re reaches for everyone no matter how amazing they are on paper
Columbia-low reach, with great essays I think this could be an easy acceptance, your ECs are great, along with test scores
University of Chicago-I know Chicago is big on their essays, therefore if you write great essays this is also another sure one to get in
Great chances to get into Columbia and Chicago, as for HYP a little harder, but still a wonderful chance</p>

<p>Ghost, that was excellent advice thank you so muchh. ;]</p>

<p>Thank you very much for your wonderful insight all.</p>

<p>Your stats and everything look great!
Your a shoe in for UChicago. You also have a good shot at HPY and Columbia… but no one ever knows what’s going on with their admissions. Some of those can truly be tossups, if you wrote some great essays, even more to you. :)</p>

<p>i would say
HYP–reach
UChicago–low reach/high match, its essays are very interesting. how is your essays? Columbia–low reach
HYP is very difficult to get in for everyone!!!</p>

<p>good luck!</p>
