3

<p>bump!?!! please</p>

4

<p>I honestly dont see a reason why you wouldnt get into any of these schools!</p>

5

<p>hahahaha do not worry at all. kick back, relax, you’re in.</p>

6

<p>Thank you both!</p>

<p>You have a fantastic shot at all of the above. All I can think to say is that your ACT is just little low to Rice and Northwestern and UNC is quite difficult OOS. Otherwise relax, your ECs are fantastic, as are your SATIIs, GPA, and awards. Best of luck!</p>

<p>Care to chance back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1276395-post-application-chances-top-schools.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1276395-post-application-chances-top-schools.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Yes, I think UNC will be tough. I do have legacy at Northwestern though! And I REALLY hope I get into Rice…</p>

<p>Thanks, freddy! I chanced you back…</p>

9

<p>bump!!!1</p>

10

<p>I honestly think you should be in everywhere. Great/unique EC’s make up for the ACT score, i’d say. (it’s still a bit higher than mine anyway) good luck!</p>

11

<p>^^^ Same as above. You seem to have a great chance at every one of those schools!</p>

12

<p>Update: Deferred from UNC-CH. We’ll see… </p>

<p>I got 4.0 both quarters (classes= AP Calc BC; AP Spanish 5; AP Physics E&M ;Comp Sci 1 Honors; Journalism 3; AP English 12; AP Econ)
I got all As but 2 Bs in Physics and Spanish for midterms</p>

13

<p>I think you are a great applicant for all of these schools. The only one where I see any difficulty from an academic perspective is Northwestern - not because you’re not good enough, but because it is hypercompetitive these days; almost as difficult as the Ivies. But it could definitely happen for you. Best of luck.</p>
