Chances at Stanford, Duke, Cornell, Johns Hopkins, etc

<p>Hi everyone.</p>

<p>Here are the stats:
1460 SAT I (730M, 730V)
800 SAT II Writing
700 SAT II Math IIC
650 SAT II U.S. History</p>

<p>3.9 GPA unweighted (out of 4.3)</p>

<p>7 AP Classes (took the absolute hardest course load possible)</p>

<p>Pretty good ECs (varsity soccer, cello, mediocre community service, web site design job for 4 years--designed over 15 full e-commerce websites)</p>

<p>Honors Biology Award, Honors English Award, Sportsmanship Award in soccer, Spirit Award</p>

<p>Strong Recs
Excellent Essay about being Greek</p>

<p>What do you think my chances are at: Stanford EA, Duke, Wash U, Cornell, Northwestern, Johns Hopkins, Carnegie Mellon, Lehigh, Oberlin, Michigan?</p>

<p>Note: I'm applying either to the engineering schools or specifying an engineering major for all of these.</p>

<p>I think Stanford, Cornell and Duke may be iffy...they're often reject students no mattter how good they look on paper. But you'll get into at least 4-5 schools on your list.</p>

<p>Thanks...that's kind of what I was thinking. Anyone else have an opinion?</p>

<p>Based on my ranking system of (super reach, reach, slight reach, match/reach, match, match/safety, safety, super safety)...</p>

<p>Stanford EA--Reach (so friggin competitive this year)
Duke--Reach
Wash U--Match
Cornell-Slight Reach
Northwestern-Match/Reach
Johns Hopkins-Match/Reach
Carnegie Mellon-Match
Lehigh-Match/Safety
Oberlin-Match</p>

<p>I don't know about Michigan. I think you'll probably get into almost all of those "match" schools. good luck!</p>

<p>I think Cornell is more of a match, Cornell is one of the easiest ivys to get into, i dont no why everyone is going crazy over it. Last year 4 kids from my school got accepted, and their SAT scores were all like 1360, 1400, but nothing above 1460.. and they were all accepted. It just shows it was because of more than just academics, if u have a lot of EC's i would say u have no problem getting into Cornell. however this year i heard that cornell has the highest amount of applications sent ...so good luck to everyone, including myself who is applying there and my scores are not as nearly as high as urs</p>

<p>Stanford EA - reach
Duke - reach
Wash U - match
Cornell- match
Northwestern -reach
Johns Hopkins - slight reach/match
Carnegie Mellon -(which engineering program)? - match/reach(depending on what school)
Lehigh -safety
Oberlin -not sure
Michigan - (University or State)? (University - slight reach- match / State - safety)</p>

<p>thanks for the info on cornell.</p>

<p>stanford/duke - reach
the rest should be be match or safety</p>

<p>Thanks, everyone. It's U of Michigan, by the way. Thanks for the rankings, and for the Cornell info!</p>
