<p>Chance Me for Emory, Rice, Wash U at St. Louis, Swarthmore, Stanford, Princeton</p>

<p>If you’re denied, I’ll be very surprised. Apply early and you’ll be fine. (Emory)</p>

<p>Stanford and Princeton are unpredictable and a crapshoot for everyone, even the best of the best. Plenty of students with perfect SATs/ GPAs apply each year and are denied due to the applicant pool is so diverse and there are some pretty amazing students that have done amazing things and these schools feel that they will be an asset to their institution. Go ahead an apply but don’t be upset if you do not make the cut.</p>

<p>Washington U and Rice are a little tougher with admissions than Emory, but I believe you have a strong shot at both of these places as well. My cousin went to a very competitive private school in Houston, TX and got in with a 3.5 GPA and 2200 SAT.</p>

<p>I have no idea about Swarthmore. From what I’ve heard, it is the ivies of LAC, so apply with the same mindset you have for Princeton/ Stanford.</p>

<p>Best of luck! All in all, I believe you will get into at least one or two of your choices.</p>

<p>Yeah, Thanks. Im shooting for a high score in the 2200s for the October SAT. I am relying on that for rice/wash u anyway. I might just apply to the others just to see if i would get in or not.</p>
