Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I am an Indian student applying for financial aid. </p>

<p>My SAT I: 2150 (M: 780, CR: 670,W: 700)
SAT II: Physics: 790
Math 2: 800</p>

<p>ECs: Low.
President of the school Science Club, represented my school at programming Olympiads, MUNs,
I have also written a code for a model facebook app, that uses the Facebook API for Java.</p>

<p>Academics: Stellar.
I am from an ISC school so all my scores are on 100. I am a science student.
Physics, Chemistry, Computer, Math: all 90s, every year from the 9th to the 12th grade.
Won awards in the 10th and 11th grade.</p>

<p>Recommendations: Excellent.
All my teachers like me.</p>

<p>Essays: Excellent.
I had asked 4/5 strangers to read my essays. They all loved them (unbiased opinions).</p>

<p>I will be applying for CS majors.</p>

<p>I have applied to the following schools:</p>

<p>1) Colgate (ED 2)
2) Drexel
3) Northwestern
4) Harvey Mudd College
5) Wooster
6) Princeton (taking a long shot here)
7) Amherst
8) Washington University in St. Louis</p>

<p>I am in desperate need of aid, 50% or more.</p>

<p>Are my chances of acceptance bleak/strong?</p>

<p>Bump!! !!</p>

<p>Drexel: Safety (I believe they will overlook poor ECs for academics)
Colgate: High match
Princeton: Reach (might be unreachable because of poor ECs)
NWU: Reach (more reachable than Princeton but a very high reach nonetheless)
Wooster: Low match
Harvey Mudd: Reach
Amherst: Reach (poor ECs hurting you but more reachable than Princeton)
WUSTL: Reach (not as high as Amherst or NWU)</p>

<p>Thank you Catria. I appreciate your response.</p>

<p>Colgate ED 2: I think I can safely say you’re in here. So Match.
Drexel: Safety
Northwestern: Match (Low SATs for this college)
Harvery Mudd College: Match (Low SATs for this college)
Wooster: Saftey
Princeton: Reach (Due to super low acceptance rate, slightly low SATs)
Amherst: Match
Washington University St. Louis: High Match</p>

<p>Your stats are amazing. If you want to improve your chances I’d say retake the SATs just because some of your scores are slightly low. However you are applying to Colgate ED so I can pretty much guarentee you’ll get in there and then I guess none of the other schools matter. Good luck!!</p>

<p>If you have a minute, chance me back? It’s just one school so it shouldn’t take long.
