<p>Do you plan on applying ED anywhere, or to your top choice perhaps? I think that might improve your chances anywhere! Your scores are obviously extremely strong (can’t hurt to retake it and focus on CR and use superscore), and ECs are fairly strong. </p>

<p>Case Western Reserve University (EA) - I’m not sure?
Cornell University - 50
Dartmouth College - 40
Duke University - 50
Harvard University - Can’t say
Johns Hopkins University - 70
Northwestern University - 60
Rice University - 70
University of Chicago (EA) - How strong do you think your essays are? 75
University of Illinois - 100
University of Notre Dame (EA) - 65
University of Pennsylvania - 65
Washington University in St. Louis - 70
Yale University - Can’t say
Good luck!!!</p>

<p>Case Western Reserve University (EA) more than likely
Cornell University- good shot
Dartmouth College- good shot
Duke University- good shot
Harvard University- unlikely (for everyone)
Johns Hopkins University- less than likely
Northwestern University- less than likely
Rice University- good shot
University of Chicago (EA)- less than likely
University of Illinois- I don’t know the school well enough :slight_smile:
University of Notre Dame (EA)- good shot
University of Pennsylvania- less than likely
Washington University in St. Louis- good shot
Yale University- unlikely (for everyone) but still competitive </p>

<p>Sorry for not using percentages, but hopefully this will help.
I think you have a good college list going, and wouldn’t rule out anything.</p>
