<p>Reflection
Strengths: community college work, gpa is OK
Weaknesses: test scores, community service involvement</p>

<p>I have already applied to the University of Pennsylvania Wharton's School Early Decision and the University of Notre Dame's Mendoza College of Business Early Action. Do you guys think I have a chance at both. I have been overanalyzing everything every since I submitted my apps, so I just want to hear what you guys think. Other schools I'm applying to if I don't make it ED are CMU, Cornell, Dartmouth, Vanderbilt, WASH U. in st. louis, NYU, Duke, and some others. Any feedback? :)</p>

<p>Your ECs look good and your GPA and community college records are good, but you’re right about your SATs. That said, Wharton and Dartmouth are reaches, Cornell and Duke are low reaches, CMU, Vandy, and WUSTL are high matches, and NYU is a match. Good luck!

<p>You have amazing ecs/awards and pretty good scores. i agree with tommy for everything except i think vandy is probably a match and probably not a high match</p>

<p>Pretty much everything looks great! Contrary to the other posters, your SAT is just fine. At top colleges (practically epitomized by Wharton), SAT scores are really just used to weed out the students that obviously aren’t competitive, and 2100 is well above that line. The only concern I have is that I’m not too sure as to whether you continued your ECs in your community college, as simply doing all that in HS and stopping at the higher education level implies that you won’t be able to carry those unique characteristics into college. Anyway, your Community College GPA is quite extraordinary, and will certainly give you an edge.</p>

<p>Those Ivy schools may be a low-mid reach, everything else seems to be a match. </p>

<p>Good luck!!!</p>

<p>Your ECs are all very good and the fact that you dual-schooled is also a nice boost there!
If I have to say anything, it’ll be the standardized testing scores. Although, nowadays, many ivies put passion, essays, and ECs over SATs and such! Good subject tests though!</p>

<p>It doesn’t matter if your SATs aren’t top notch, the colleges can still see your rigorous academics through your course load and GPA. They know some people just hate to sit 5 hours and take a test :)</p>

<p>Good luck! All the colleges you have mentioned fit your miniresume!</p>

<p>upenn would be a reach, dartmouth would be a low reach; nyu would be a low match; notre dame would be a match in my opinion</p>

<p>bump? :slight_smile: …</p>

<p>Upenn Wharton ED: reach (as for everyone)
Notre Dame (EA): match-high match (great chances)</p>

<p>Write good essays. You have an interesting story - that can make you shine.Good luck!</p>
