<p>Too many schools. Pare that list down if at all possible.</p>

<p>which ones should i take out?</p>

<p>Those for which you can't make an explicit and compelling case.</p>

<p>i guess Syracuse, U of Washington</p>

<p>So can someone tell me my chances?</p>

<p>bump bump and bump</p>

<p>Now, do u REALLY want to be in any of those? What if u r admitted to ALL of those? Which one would u choose then (okay, just tell top 5, and it'll be easier for others to inform u about ur chances)?</p>

<p>I really appreciate all the advices, and I will definitely take out 3 or 4 colleges. But my confusion is that other people have listed 10-15 schools before and can got responses. Why would it be easier for you if you are looking at each individual schools differently. I can only assume that it would be easier for you because you won't ahve to type that many "matches", "reaches", "safties." Do I have to cut down 5 schools in order to have a response that is actually related to "chances." I'm not asking you guys to see which one i should go. I'm just stricly listing my Stats and ask for a general "chance" response. If i say my top 5, then they'll all be reach schools.</p>

<p>Revised list:
Boston U
NYU
Haverford
Cornell
Occidental
U of Rochester
Emory (ED 2)
U of Washington-Seattle</p>

<p>7schools</p>

<p>bumpity bump</p>

<p>I won't be difficult like everyone else. Here is what i think.</p>

<p>If your essays and recs were good that improves your chances a lot.</p>

<p>Boston U - slight reach
NYU -slight reach
Haverford - reach
Cornell - reach
Macalester - match/slight reach
Occidental - match
Syracuse U - match
U of Rochester - match/slight reach
Emory (ED 2) - reach
U of Washington -Seattle - safety
U of oklahoma - safety</p>

<p>Boston U - good chance
NYU - good chance
Haverford - good chance
Cornell - slim chance
Macalester-decent chance
Occidental-in
Syracuse U-in
U of Rochester-good chance
Emory (ED 2) - good chance (ED)
U of Washington -Seattle-in
U of oklahoma-in</p>
