Chance Me: Stanford/UChicago

<p>The calc AB thing is because the math track at my school ends at calc AB and only seniors are allowed to take it :’( but thanks I really appreciate all the comments! I have received conditional acceptance from Glasgow and acceptance from Bellarmine and U of M - Twin Cities! If any of you would like chancing as well let me know!!</p>

<p>And I did figure out that I couldn’t do early to both so I had to switch Stanford to regular… :/</p>

<p>I don’t know much about Swarthmore or Wesleyan. Are they generous in merit type scholarships??</p>

<p>As stated previously you need more in between safe and reach. Are any early? U Chicago just received 10,000 apps early action! A reach. Try Hopkins, Cornell, Kenyon, macalester, Grinnell, etc</p>

<p>Boston College good thought too</p>

<p>Just send ACT, not SAT</p>

<p>Holy crap that’s a lot of apps… And I thought I add a chance… Currently milking connections for hopes at UChicago though (becoming buddies with regional rep :slight_smile: and turns out my moms brothers friend is an administrator in admissions so yayyyyy). Stanford is looking bleak at best… I’m sort of concerned at this point that I don’t have any “realistic” colleges that fit what I’m looking for (in terms of intellectual viscosity)… :frowning: help? Bump?</p>

<p>what do you guys mean by outstanding EC’s? what are some examples of outstanding EC’s?</p>

<p>Your stats are on par for UChicago. A great essay would get you in. Stanford, I’m not sure about.</p>

<p>UChicago is a low reach, Stanford more a high reach. UChicago seems to be definitely a possibility though.</p>

<p>UChicago looks very achievable with a Low Reach/High Match here with a good application it will fall closer to the High Match.</p>

<p>Stanford is a reach for everyone school but without a doubt you have a great shot at getting in.</p>

<p>UChicago accepts anywhere from a 3.0-4.0. I’ve seen it happen…their essays are 50% of their admissions decisions.</p>

You will get into Eastern Carolina as long as your name wasn’t spelled wrong. I think you have a good chance at Duke. There is no rhyme or reason to Chapel Hill, they pick students by reaching into a hat. No joking, but really, I think you are more qualified than people I know there, but also I know very very qualified students that don’t get it at all.</p>

<p>The others I don’t know about as well as I do for NC and SC schools.</p>
