<p>looks good to me for all those schools</p>
<p>really? i dont think i have that much of a good chance? any clarifications?</p>
<p>hm...here's my opinion:</p>
<p>Dartmouth: Big Reach
UPENN: Big Reach
Cornell: Reach
NYU: Match (still depends on what school, if stern, then Reach)
UMich: Match
Rutgers: Safety</p>
<p>having no leadership positions may hurt you. also the fact that you haven't given any sat iis makes it hard to judge your chances. and rank? lastly, your sat is a bit low for dartmouth, cornell, and upenn.</p>
<p>what were your SATIIs?</p>
<p>SAT 2: Writing: 700
Bio: 680
Korean: 780
Ecomonics:650</p>
<p>some of thexse EC iverbioarders make me sick 2 my stomach lol. U make me wanna puken (nothing personal of course) Lol.</p>
<p>There isn't any SAT II Economics. Are you sure you're not talking about US History, or something along those lines?</p>
<p>Also, are you korean? If you are, then you're a very interesting applicant in that you don't do the typical asian activities. You don't usually see many asians doing choir and a cappella...that might help you at schools like Dartmouth and Cornell. UPenn is a reach, but who knows what might happen there. The rest of the schools you listed are match/safeties.</p>
<p>what school at NYU did you apply to?</p>
<p>i applied to Steindhart</p>
<p>and yea it was Us history. i was thinking of AP courses for that one . sorry -_-. but i still have a bad score. lol</p>
<ol>
<li>are you korean?</li>
<li>if you are, why did you go take korean SAT II?</li>
<li>every other thing looks good</li>
</ol>
<p>yes i am korean. lol it wasjust something i was curious to take. cuz i wanted to see how easy it would be for a korean to take the test. dont mind that part of the scores though. it was just for fun</p>
<p>your awards and ECs pwn mine, lol, i applied to Dartmouth, Upenn and Cornell too, but i got mediocre stats and mediocre ECs, so you definitely have an edge over me, plus, i am international (Canada)</p>
<p>hahahah. any other opinions?</p>
