<p>Thanks! </p>

<p>I think that you can get in no prob to all of the schools on that list, the only ones that i can’t say just because they are hard are uchicago, dartmoth, and georgetown. I think that you can get into them but you’ll need a good essay to put a person behind your gpa and test scores and differentiate yourself from the other applicants. </p>

<p>Good luck!!</p>

<p>UChicago and dartmoth are reaches. The rest are matches.
chance me.

<p>UChicago and Dartmouth would be reaches, as they are for us all, but you have as good a chance as anyone, good luck!</p>

<p>Looking pretty good, especially uc san diego comp sci… UChicago, Dartmouth, Georgetown are reaches.
Please chance me! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1679319-chance-me-ucsd.html#latest”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1679319-chance-me-ucsd.html#latest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Thanks for all the chances! </p>

<p>1st of all, thanks for chancing me and 2nd, I love your name lol. UChicago and Dartmouth are slight reaches but the rest seem reasonable. However, UChicago places a ton of emphasis on essays so as long as you write some great essays, you definitely have a solid chance. I’m impressed by the rigor of your classes and dedicated ECs (800 hours wow) ECs. As long as you can maybe improve your standardized test scores (SAT and SAT II Physics) by a little bit, I don’t see anything holding you back from getting into any of the schools on your list. Good luck!</p>

<p>UR LIST IS TRASH
Y U NO APPLI 2 BETTR SKOOL LIEK MIT AND CALTEK</p>

<p>CALTEK IS COOL</p>

<p>if interested in BC and Brandeis, might consider Holy Cross-top25 LAC 1 hour from Boston. Imo, Holy Cross offers better combination of academics and social life. HC has beautiful campus and meets 100% demonstrated financial need. Holy Cross website is informative.</p>

<p>Hey! You have a great chance at brandeis or any of the UCS (UCD is actually my safety lol) I would apply to G-town and UofC early if I were you. I think your ECs are great, but if you increase your SAT or just write really compelling essays, you will be fine. Chance me back! on my thread</p>

<p>@IIlIll‌ idk, I just don’t think they’d fit who I am.</p>

<p>@par72‌ I looked into HC as well, I’m not sure I’d also fit in. Its also a bit secluded as BC and Brandeis are closer to the city. </p>

<p>@Hind2015‌ You know me too well, I plan on applying to both early! I plan on doing both, SAT and essays</p>

<p>That’s a really solid application, tbh! You have great academics, but you also have experience doing things outside the classroom. Stuff like teaching English in rural China? That’s something which is genuinely unique and colleges will certainly be interested. Make sure your essays are well-written and you will get in with no problems imho. Chance me? :wink: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1679965-notre-dame-transfer-chances.html#latest”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1679965-notre-dame-transfer-chances.html#latest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>@Dzheims‌ Thanks for the chance! </p>

<p>Don’t know much about the other schools, but as far as UChicago and the UC school system, I’d say your EC’s and classes really stand out from the rest. Excellent chance at those!!! Best of luck to you!</p>

<p>I think you’ll be able to get into these schools. You seem like a great candidate and the 800+ hours of community service will stand out for sure! </p>

<p>Rather than the two reaches, Dartmouth and Chicago, the rest are matchs/low matches. Good luck! </p>

<p>Chance me back? </p>
