<p>No one can consider HYPS, Columbia, Brown and Dartmouth a match. While it's normally believed that super-elite kids (you should consider yourself one) will get into at least one, you can go through back threads here and see kids with 2350 SAT's getting rejected and kids with 2040's getting accepted. Whenever a school dips below 15% it's impossible to say match, you're just more likely than others.</p>

<p>You're making the right choice by spreading the net pretty wide amongst elite schools. I definitely think you'll get into one of your Ivies, you're a match at Tufts, Georgetown, Vassar, Amherst and BC. BC, George Washington and Amherst are borderline safeties. Rice is a little bit of a reach. USC is a safety.</p>

<p>NYU is a tough one because their average incoming profile isn't great but everyone wants to go there so there's a deluge of applicants and it drives down the acceptance rate. </p>

<p>I'd recommend you apply to one more safety, but it's probably too late in the process. Like I said, you'll probably get an Ivy, but anyone who's really chancing an Ivy is delusional. Too many variables and too much mass trying to fit through a little siphon to know what's going to come out the other side. You're in a solid position, since you're low income do what you can to negotiate financial aid if you don't get a full ride.</p>

<p>I'd say you're in at all except maybe Amherst, Columbia, Dartmouth, and HYPS. Why didn't you apply to any UCs?</p>

6

<p>Thanks a lot, very helpful.</p>

<p>I did. UCLA, Cal, Berkeley, SD, SB. Didn't want to make chancing me more work for you wonderful chancers</p>

</p>

<p>Cal and Berkeley are the same school. =p</p>

<p>I'd say Berkeley's a match, UCLA a match to safe match, and the rest are safeties.</p>

<p>I so was not thinking when I wrote that. Anyway, I meant to write Irvine after Cal...brain fart. Anyway, thanks.</p>

11

<p>Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuump. It's not working. Chance me people, if you are taking the time to look at this anyway! It would be much appreciated. : )</p>

12

<p>i would say your in at least one of the ivy's and most of the UC's are safety/matches</p>

13

<p>this is my fourth BUMP!!! If you are one of the wonderful people reading this, please chance me! Merci beaucoup.</p>

<p>Good GPA, test scores. so its going to be ur ECs essays and recs which i think will make the difference</p>

<p>ur ECs seem solid.. ur essay i hope it is something more then just what meets the eye.. travelling is a hard topic to do well because u dont want to come across as pretentious and naive.. engliten the reader on how its affected you or the significance of it.. at the same time work it into why university is the next step.. and ur good.. good chance with them all.. ivys u def. have a shot.. the other ones i dont see why you wouldnt get admitted</p>

<p>Columbia: 45%
HYPS: 25%
Brown: 50%
Georgetown: 75%
Vassar: 85%
Amherst: 50%
Rice: 65%
George Washington U: 99%
NYU: 90%
Tufts: 75%
Boston College: 90%
USC: 85%
Dartmouth: 45%</p>

<p>My guess is you'll get into at least one of Columbia, Brown, Dartmouth, or Amherst. Good luck!</p>

<p>Random comment: not sure how the same person could like a cold non-campus school like NYU and much more intimate undergrad focused places like Dartmouth, Rice, and Amherst.</p>
