Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>This is actually for my son who's a rising senior and wants to apply early decision to Duke (Trinity). If he doesnt get accepted there, he will apply to Vanderbilt, Cornell, JHU, Virginia, and UNC.</p>

<p>So many posts on here have incredible SAT scores and resumes so I want to know if he is reaching too much?</p>

<p>White Male
Western Pennsylvania</p>

<p>SAT superscore (took twice)</p>

<p>CR 600
MA 790
WR 580</p>

<p>He took 3 subject tests THE MORNING AFTER HIS PROM on 2 hours sleep!</p>

<p>MATH 1 720
MATH 2 680
CHEM 680</p>

<p>He has extracurriculars and works a part time job while in school but I wont list..consider them average</p>

<p>Rank is 6 of 130 in his class (top 5%)</p>

<p>So lets hear brutal honesty.... On the "whats my chances" site it says a 26% chance at Duke but ED would increase that to Almost 50% Im thinking. </p>

<p>Vanderbilt and Cornell dont use the writing portion of the SAT but I know Duke does. Will the fact he is so lopsided kill his chances?</p>

<p>Thanks for any and all input!</p>

<p>I think he has a chance at all of them but they are all small reaches. Especially UNC for OOS. I WOULD LOOK FOR A COUPLE SAFETIES. what is his GPA?</p>

<p>thanks ahsmuch, his GPA is 4.0+ and he took the most rigorous course schedule offered at his High School which included 5 AP courses</p>
