<p>stanman06, how can his chances go from 80% at Brown to 20% at UPenn? They aren't that different in admissions ...</p>

<p>Was wondering the same thing...</p>

<p>As a black male I believe you have a good chance anywhere. I would recommend even applying to some of the higher Ivies. Also, I don't agree with stanman06 on UPenn.</p>

8

<p>good chance should apply higher due to urm status =d gl!
edit: i meant look into higher schools but if those lower tier ivies are the schools you wish to go to then go there =D</p>

9

<p>yea the only higher ivy that i wish to apply to is Stanford, but the other ie HYP...ehhh they don't have the best Computer Science Programs as opposed to Cornell (Great Engineering) and Brown ( Open Curriculum)</p>

<p>Stanford is not in the Ivy League.</p>
