I have won many awards and internationally competed in competitions, also I have been recognized many times (All of this fills out and should be pretty well on the application, just don't want to list every single thing so consider it in that sense)</p>

<p>ALSO: My school is known for sending people to top schools; many to top tiers and at least one a year to an ivy league school. It is a public high school, where almost half of the people here are on free/reduced lunch.</p>

<p>CHANCE AT SCHOOLS SUCH AS: UNC, Duke, Vanderbilt, UChicago, Any ivies, UVA, also I would like suggestions please.</p>

<p>For any of the top tier Ivies, you would need to raise your ACT score for sure. Some suggestions I have are University of Richmond (they have great resources) and John Hopkins.

<p>Is your GPA weighted or unweighted?</p>

<p>I would re-take ACT and SAT II’s if possible. You are mostly at high reaches for all of the ivies, but UNC is doable (high-match). Also, UChicago heavily weights essay’s, so depending on your essay you can put it as a high match/low reach. </p>

<p>Plz chance me at:</p>

<p>Thank you but UofR is not really my type. Will be sure to chance back</p>

5

<p>Even being a UMR, you chances are still not very good for these schools.</p>

<p>Your tests scores are just too low. You need at least a 33 ACT, and 700’s or above on the SAT II’s. </p>

<p>Ivys: High Reach
Vanderbilt: Reach/ High Reach
U Chicago: High Reach
Duke: Reach/ High Reach
UNC: Low Reach/ Reach
UVA: Low Reach/ Reach</p>

<p>You absolutely need to pick safety schools. Improve your test scores for better chances.</p>

6

<p>Accepted Cornell, Columbia, UVA and others attending Cornell!</p>

7

<p>Congrats! Just goes to show that your standardized test scores aren’t everything (though they’re still pretty important). You must have really impressed in other areas.</p>

8

<p>Congrats, what do you think got the admission officers’ eye?
Also, would you mind to chance back

9

<p>Congrats! Did you only submit your ACT score? (not SAT I)</p>

10

<p>I submitted 620 Chem, 670 M1, 620 USH & 30/27/31/28/10 ACT W/ ~1300 SAT1 </p>

<p>@Lacoste the essay really matters, also your overall credentials. I have worked with the admissions office this year and the admission officers are very nice. EVERYONE wants to go to Cornell and feels the same amount of excitement so that really does not matter to the admission officers. What matters is if you fit the mission and what you have to bring to the table. Geographics also matter.</p>

12

<p>thanks for the input</p>

13

<p>Also, it’s really hard to tell if you’re going to get in. Stats literally are meaningless once you go to college. Once you’re here you’re qualified. You do well in your classes. I have gotten all A’s and I am premed. It has been tough, but you can do it. Stats are just pre-entrance. Don’t harp over stats be a HUMAN. And just say YOLO, write something funny crazy hilarious who cares you only get one shot.</p>

14

<p>do you mind giving a general statement of what your common app essay was about </p>

15

<p>Could you chance me? I’m interested in Cornell and Columbia but it is definitely a high reach for me. Am I being unrealistic? Again congrats on your acceptances!

16

<p>Also, when you said geographics matter, are you from new york? What did you mean by that? :)</p>

17

<p>@theatrenglishss I looked at your information, I would say that your Common App would not look appealing enough to make it past the first round. Every admission officer (or most) has to say yes to you to be accepted, and you need to tailor your application to look pretty. & I am not from NY, I am from the South.</p>

18

<p>@Lacoste I will not because I want people to stay true to themselves because once you go far away from home for the next four years you don’t want to find out it’s the wrong place for you because you got in as someone you aren’t</p>

19

<p>Being at an Ivy League school I have high prestige, no other Ivy League school cares which one you go to it’s all family between the Ivy League. So if you get in, you join the secret elite family. </p>

<p>Thank you @coleworld95‌ any recommendations to tighten up my ECs or anything? Thanks! Also obviously I wouldn’t present my ECs like that lol. </p>
