<p>I think you have a pretty good chance for Duke, Davidson, and Boston College.</p>

<p>GTK i hope you didnt take jingmae seriously. Your SATs r awesome nd ur class rank is high enough to atleast meet Dukeor BC. As for Harvard,princeton, yale and dartmouth... i wouldnt say you have "no chance". In fact, you could get wait listed to 1, maybe 2 colleges.</p>

4

<p>You have a good chance. For Dartmouth and HYP, it's very random, but you have a decent chance. You should be fine for the rest.</p>

5

<p>Davidson, Duke and Boston College I think are great chances.
I know you probably hate this but: Nobody is ever for sure at the Ivies. They have wierd admissions. But I think you have a great chance however. Dartmouth is a most likely and good chance at others. Good Luck! :)</p>

6

<p>you are sooooo going somewhere great</p>

7

<p>you have above-average chances for all of them. which may turn out to mean nothing for the high Ivies, since you can never be too sure about those.</p>

8

<p>thanks for all the replies....anyone else?</p>

9

<p>i think ur ec and sat is very impressive....
