<p>U of A is pretty much a lock but you probably know that lol. I’d say you have a good chance with Boston College and Boston U., a classmate of mine graduated top of my class with a 4.14 and around a 2000 SAT with definitely not as many ECs or APs as you. BC at least, I can’t imagine BU being terribly harder than BC. Other than that I’m not quite sure, but I’m sure Washington would be within your grasp as well. Can’t speak for NYU or Chicago though, sorry.</p>

<p>I’d say “chance me now!” but I don’t know how to put a link in my post lol, if you find it (it’s on the first page) chance me!</p>

<p>i really like how intense you are on your EC’s, but it seems you have few. with your current ACT, the only colleges that’ll present a problem are NYU and Chicago. I wouldn’t expect Chicago unless you retake ACTs.
also, your essay sounds boring :\ i mean, it’s cool that something interesting happened in your life (uh… attempted suicide = interesting?) but idk… it sounds like it could easily turn into something really trite and easily unnoticed.</p>

<p>i hope i helped? do me next! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/780607-chance-me-vanderbilt-emory-wake-forest.html#post1063250698[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/780607-chance-me-vanderbilt-emory-wake-forest.html#post1063250698&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
