Chance? (Penn, Brown, Cornell, Georgetown, BC, UNC, UVA) Will chance back

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi, I was hoping you could chance me for the following schools for the RD round (I am currently a senior). To most schools, I applied for economics/business because I'd like to pursue a career in environmental economics. However, for Penn and Brown, I chose their environmental studies programs and intend to take econ/business classes where I can. As an FYI, I'd be fine with chancing back so long as the comment isn't, “You're good. Chance me back!”, or something to that effect. Otherwise, I'd love an impartial opinion on my chances. Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>General Comments & Advice:</p>

<p>As a sidenote, I am well aware of the fact that these are all very competitive programs. I have already been accepted to three safeties (Villanova, Fordham, and Maryland). If there is any further information that you might think is necessary, please feel free to ask.</p>

<p>You’re an amazing student and your extracurriculars are stellar. This is what I say:
Cornell - low reach
UVA - match
UNC - match
UPenn - low reach
Brown - low reach
Georgetown - match
Boston College - match</p>

<p>Overall, your essay and letters of rec should help you greatly. You should get in to all of these schools with relatively little fuss. Best of luck to you!</p>

<p>Thanks a lot so far. To those who have asked for a chance back, I did. </p>

<p>Good change for UNC. </p>

<p>I would say you should get accepted into all of them, but if you don’t here is why. Your SAT is a bit low for UPenn and Brown, you only have 3 AP Scores, and your Bio subject test may hurt you. Truthfully your awards, EC’s, and essays/recs should help you get in…here are my thoughts</p>

<p>Cornell … Reach
-UVA … Match
-UNC … Match
-Upenn… Reach
-Brown… Reach
-Georgetown… Low Reach
-Boston College… Match</p>

<p>BTW I live really close to Villanova, lots of people love it, but it isn’t right for others. The town’s that are just a few minutes away are really nice. Not in a big city like some of these other schools though.</p>

<p>@151Andrew151 Thanks so much. I appreciate the honesty. I’ll actually be visiting there for the accepted students honors program on Saturday. It’ll be my second time on campus- very nice school. I chance’d you back btw.</p>

<p>More chancing appreciated!!</p>

<p>Here’s my humble opinion:</p>

<p>Cornell - reach
UVA - match
UNC - match
UPenn - low reach/match
Brown - low reach
Georgetown - match
Boston College - match</p>

<p>Your only weak point is a relatively low Critical Reading score on the SATs, but honestly that’s no biggie. You would be a solid candidate at almost any university. Good luck!

<p>Surprised you were deferred EA to UVA; from what I hear if you’re deferred mid year report grades is the most important thing. Maybe I’ll see you there in the fall! (I was accepted EA). Good luck with all of your schools </p>

<p>Thanks a lot!</p>

<p>For what it’s worth (if it changes anything), I just found out today that I placed third in both economics and business communications in my FBLA district-wide competition. That will probably go along in my supplementary materials section.</p>
