<p>I'd like opinions to see if there is a chance to be accepted to the following schools.

<p>University of Miami, Emory, Tufts, Rice, Brown (double legacy), Yale, Princeton, and possibly Duke and Harvard.</p>

<p>Here's my stats, I won't bore you with a lot of details, but let me know if you want more information. </p>

Planning on retaking Math II (680) and getting above 750+ with major studying</p>

<p>School Info:
My class rank is 2/544 (top 1%)
GPA is 4.0 unweighted, 5.3 weighted
I have taken 8 AP classes so far (including AP Chem, AP Calc AB)
* I've received straight A's in all of them, and at least a 4+ on every AP test
This year, I am enrolled in 5 more AP classes (including AP Physics B, AP Calc BC)</p>

<p>ECs:

<p>Your stats look pretty good. I think you have a good chance of getting in to University of Miami, Emory, Tufts, and Duke; you could probably also get in to Brown with legacy too. The others are pretty much a crapshoot for anyone. At this point, it will be up to your essays and teacher recommendations. </p>

<p>Good Luck :slight_smile:

<p>thanks, that’s what i was thinking, but I hope I have luck on my side (bump)</p>

<p>You stand an excellent chance with Brown if you apply ED.</p>

5

<p>Will I still have a decent chance if I apply RD? The binding contract is a little scary, especially with my financial situation.</p>

<p>I think you still have a viable chance at Brown regardless of whether you do ED or RD. Most likely your chances of acceptance will get boosted by ED if you decide to do it. Your double legacy will help regardless of which one you do anyway. Btw, make sure you get that math II up before you apply. </p>

<p>Chance me back? Nobody has posted anything really useful :frowning:

<p>Your ranking and grades are great, and your test scores are pretty good too. I’d say that your ECs are pretty strong as well, because it seems like you’ve shown dedication to them. Assuming that your essays and letters of rec are pretty good as well, I’d say that you have a strong chance of getting into Miami, Emory, Rice, Tufts, and Duke, and maybe even Brown too with the double legacy, regardless of ED (though it’d certainly improve your chances). HPY are, like Sprinter said, a crapshoot for anyone, but it’s worth a shot. :)</p>

<p>Thanks to both of you! I hope you’re right. I’m taking the October 1st SAT Math II and studying a lot, so hopefully that goes up. I’ll take a look at your pages.</p>
