<p>lol…by the way this isn’t me…but my best friend!! Chance him!! I got LL at H and we really want to go together! haha</p>

3

<p>I think your friend has a fairly good chance at getting into all of those schools.</p>

4

<p>Numbers are fine, ECs are weak. If your friend gets in, it will be due to legacy.</p>

5

<p>You have a strong shot at H as a legacy. </p>

<p>Clearly you scowls have no problem for the non ivies other than Duke, and for it and the ivies I’d expect you to get into several. At that level things out of your control kick in-lots of legacies or recruited athletes at your school at one or more can have a big impact.</p>

6

<p>In at harvard. Decent shot at the rest</p>

7

<p>Yay…I’ll tell him about the good prospects…!</p>

8

<p>The scores are good, and the ECs are on the weak side. I’m sure the legacy will help, but I don’t know if it’ll be enough to guarantee admission into Harvard.</p>

9

<p>Excellent! The scores compensate for the grades, but overall this applicant has a decent chance, I mean you already have the strong academic background, and having all those leadership roles and major awards make him a powerful opponent in the application process.</p>

10

<p>GREAT STATS! but honestly its still a crap shoot for harvard man. Hate to say that. Very impressive though</p>

11

<p>Going to need more interesting ECs than that, or at least a way for you to make those generic ECs sound interesting.</p>
