<p>Your SAT score and rank are good, however, you have a low unweighted GPA for Ivies. That being said:
Brandeis-match
Brown-reach
Bucknell-high match
Colgate-low match
Cornell-low reach
Dartmouth-reach
Emory-high match
Johns Hopkins-low reach
Lehigh-match
University of Maryland-high match
University of Michigan-match
I am sure you will get accepted to the majority of these, and maybe even a low reach or two. Good luck!</p>

<p>Your scores are amazing, and your GPA is largely offset by your top 5% class rank. This is what I think:</p>

<p>Brandeis- low match
Brown-reach
Bucknell-low match/high safety
Colgate-low match
Cornell-low reach
Dartmouth-reach to low reach
Emory-match
Johns Hopkins-low reach
Lehigh-low match
University of Maryland-low match
University of Michigan-match</p>

<p>thank you guys! my school gives weighted ranks, and our GPA system is veryyy whacky and being in honors or AP classes helps your GPA a LOT, so that could explain the apparent disparity between my GPA and rank. i used the questbridge system to get my GPA so idk if i did it 100% right, but in my school’s system my weighted GPA is over an A, and my unweighted is about an A-</p>
