<p>4.0/33
you're a match at all.</p>

3

<p>thanks, anyone else?</p>

4

<p>i agree w/ naderboy2002. maybe you should add a reach just for giggles.</p>

5

<p>your ECs are all over the place O.o heh they were so long i stopped reading them xP.</p>

<p>Anyways i would say accept at all. You could probably also aim for something like Duke and have a decent shot at it.</p>

<p>glhf</p>

<p>chance me now :)

<p>thanks again
any other ideas on possible schools?
oh for my ECs I named all the events I did within each club, thats why it looks like alot lol</p>

7

<p>I would apply to Rice if I were you , I think you have a good shot....</p>

8

<p>With scores and activities like that, you would be considered at most schools in the US. I think if you are really passionate about your activities, which you seem to be, you should get into all of them.</p>

9

<p>thanks
i've always wanted to go to an ivy, but didn't think I'd have a shot
does anyone think i might have one?</p>

10

<p>I say go for an ivy!!!!! xD</p>

11

<p>any suggestions on which ivys i have a chance at?</p>

12

<p>I might even try for one of the 7 sisters if they might suit your fancy. You'd be in!</p>

13

<p>i never thought about the 7 sisters, but i'll definitely look into them
another question though, i took the chem, us history, and lit. subject tests as well, but unfortunately only scored in the 610-650 range on them, so I was wondering if I should retake them and if they're going to reflect badly on me if I don't?</p>

14

<p>if you decide to apply to ivies, then yes, you should retake them. try to aim for atleast 700+ ( preferably 750+) in each subject.</p>

15

<p>oh ok i'll be sure to do that then in october
so anyone have any ideas on what ivys i could possibly get into?</p>

16

<p>I think you have a better than average chance at Cornell. I know some kids that got in with lower stats.</p>

17

<p>^ i agree.</p>

18

<p>oh ok i'll def. look more into cornell
two students from my school got accepted to cornell this past year too</p>

19

<p>so i went on the cornell website and requested info
but i really liked what i saw on their website
so can someone else please chance me for cornell?</p>

20

<p>well,based purely on stats, I would say that Cornell is the easiest Ivy to get into. other than that you should base your decision of which Ivy you want to apply to on what you want to major in(i.e. business=UPenn, engineering=Cornell)</p>
