<p>It seems you are quite involved in extracurriculars, which is great.It’s also good that you have leadership positions. But remember that there are many qualified applicants, with grades and activities just as good as yours…so make sure your essays, short answer responses, etc. are reflective of your individuality. Stand out as best you can , really. </p>

<p>So here we go:</p>

<p>Duke: 80% chance i think. they really like extracurriculars, and leadership.
UChicago: they have pretty eclectic essay questions on there supplement, so go along with it! Be as creative and different as you can. If you do this, you have a pretty good chance!
Princeton: chances arent as high, just because of their talented applicant pool. But youre extracurriculars, sports, leadership definetly helps…
NYU: high chance, i think. your community involvement means you’ll take advantage of oppurtunity, internships in New York. They value that. Try to express that in your essay.
UW: I mean im not familiar with Washington public universities, but since it’s public and with your stats, you’re basically a no brainer.
Cornell: again, unpredictable. But decent chances. A higher ACT would help.
UC Berkeley: be as individual as you can in essays, responses in your app. Chances are good.
UPenn: chances are very good. I keep repeating this, but write the most personal, creative essay you can to increase your chances!</p>

<p>Hope that helps. Happy Birthday :)</p>

<p>are you going to submit your 2 and 3’s from the AP tests? If you dont youre then submitting only 3 AP’s… as a side note, howd you get a 2 on the lang test? </p>

<p>I think greenmgzee is being optimistic about your college chances. Your test scores are on the low side but your Ec’s are good.</p>

<p>Duke ED: low reach
NYU: match
U Chicago: low-mid reach (leaning more towards mid reach)
Cornell: same as chicago
UC Berkeley: mid reach
Princeton: reach
U Penn: reach
UW: in</p>

<p>just my thoughts, could be wrong. Try improving your test scores</p>

<p>haha yeah i think greenmgzee is a little optimistic but i appreciate the advice!</p>

<p>and kai, i have no idea. i got a 4 on the mock, but i think its just cause i have test anxiety…oh well.</p>

<p>im going to submit the 3’s, especially because i want to major in econ, and i got A’s in all my math classes and a 770 on math 2 so hopefully they’ll look at it as more test anxiety :P</p>

<p>I have to agree with what was said before. The Ivies are always unpredictable. You’re in at UW and NYU is a definite match. What school is your top choice? Chance me back? My thread is “What Chance Do I Have”</p>

<p>Half the people that have posted in this thread are just wrong. </p>

<p>Princeton is out of reach, Duke (ED) and Penn are both big reaches, Chicago, Berkeley and Cornell are reaches / low reaches, and NYU is a match.</p>
