<p>I would love just an answer for these schools lol. I'm a Junior at a public school but I'm not sure how competitive it is on a national scale(ranked 600 I think).

Class Rank:72/725 10%
ACT-N/A
PSAT-(220) National Merit Scholar
SAT-2280 Superscored 2260 one sitting
Legacy-None unless cousins/uncles count which I doubt</p>

<p>AP's by the time I graduate: World History(4)/U.S.History/Physics 1/Statistics/Psychology/Human Geography/Gov./Calculus BC/Physics C/English Lit/Comp. Politicsand Gov./Macroeconomics</p>

<p>EC's:
-President and Co-founder of American Red Cross Unit at our school

<p>URM
Cons: Straight A's this year(Junior) to pad my UW gpa due to 3 C's total in Biology honors and Algebra II honors.
Applying ED to either UPENN or Duke whichever I have a better shot at.
Thanks so much! </p>

Cornell: match/high match

<p>I think you have a better shot at Duke.</p>

<p>UF: low match
UPenn: high reach
Cornell: Reach
NYU: match
Duke: reach</p>

<p>I have no idea what the guy above me was thinking. </p>

5

<p>@SternTurn Is Duke a reach with ED ordid you mean without</p>

6

<p>Upenn and Duke will always be a reach no matter what.</p>

7

<p>Alright thanks for the feedback! At least it isn’t a high reach.</p>

8

<p>bump</p>

9

<p>I had higher UW GPA and SAT and was waitlisted at Penn, so I think that’s what you can reasonably expect.</p>

10

<p>What type of major are you interested in? Business, Engineering, or Arts and Sciences? Which school you are planning to attend at Penn or Cornell can make a big difference in difficulty. Also, what is your race and sex? </p>

<p>Those additional bits of information can help give a better quality answer.</p>

11

<p>PENN:Wharton/CAS(No decision yet)
Duke: Trinity
I was thinking of majoring in international affairs/relations on the pre law track. I know NYU offers one and so does UF.
Cornell: CAS
I am an african american male.

<p>Penn: Good chance, low reach
UF: match/safety
Cornell: Good chance as well, low reach
NYU: match for CAS
Duke: Good chance, low reach </p>

13

<p>@SternTurn‌ Lol right! How could you make all those ivy leagues a match lol. Craziness</p>

14

<p>Wharton is definite high reach, even with your URM status. Good chance at the others though</p>

15

<p>Okay I’m pretty set on Duke ED Trinity. I just want t o know if it’s a good bet to try for ED even with 3 C’s freshman year. I made it up through sohpmore and especially this year so that my UW isn’t bad. Do you guys think I have a good enough shot for ED?</p>

16

<p>Bumpity bump bump</p>

17

<p>Yes, I think it is likely that you will be accepted at Duke or Penn CAS ED. </p>

<p>For Penn Wharton, I think you would need to demonstrate a clear interest in business, but you will still have a solid chance. It will also be important to write strong essays. Work on them well in advance and find a good proof reader.</p>
