<p>OH! I’m also a white, female from MO.
I attend a public high school</p>

3

<p>WashU: match? (i don’t really know the school)
Vanderbilt: high match
Northwestern: low reach
Duke: high match
Harvard: high reach
Yale: high reach
Princeton: high reach
Georgetown: reach
George Washington University: low match</p>

<p>a lot of these are reaches for everyone, but notre dame is pretty selective so considering you already got in there, you have good chances even at the reach schools.</p>

<p>chance me back?

<p>Thank you! :)</p>

5

<p>impatience…</p>

6

<p>No way in he’ll that the Georges should be reaches… You’re in guaranteed for all except HYP and then you still stand a strong chance.</p>

<p>Enjoy a very happy spring semester!</p>

7

<p>^I wouldn’t say guaranteed for all except HYP, but you do have pretty good chances at all of them. That’s a looot of extracurriculars lol</p>

<p>smwhatslydyzed or whatever his name is haha, is being wayy too harsh. Your stats are incredible, and these are the most accurate chances:</p>

<p>WashU: Match
Vandy: Match
Northwestern: High Match
Duke: High Match
Harvard: Reach
Yale: Low Reach
Princeton: Reach
Georgetown: Low Reach/High Match
GW: Low Match/ Safety</p>

<p>Chance me back! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1019709-duke-ed-rice-tufts-wake-forest.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1019709-duke-ed-rice-tufts-wake-forest.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

9

<p>I think you’ll have a good chance of getting into a majority of the schools, particularly Duke and GW.</p>

10

<p>Thank you all! I just chanced you all back! :)</p>

11

<p>How did you do on the AP tests? </p>

<p>And how can you have a perfect GPA and be 15th in the class?</p>

<p>I question the rigor of your high school a little…</p>

<p>Obviously, you’re a very strong academic candidate. You’re in the running at all of these schools. The Ivies can be somewhat of a toss up, but overall I think you’ll be fine.</p>

12

<p>I am 12th in the class specifically.</p>

<p>We do our class rank based on the weighted gpa…
there are people with above a 4.444 who are thus above me (this is because I took more classes [zero hour] than the average student as well as didn’t have a weighted math class my freshman year because honors geometry isn’t weighted by honors algebra 2 and trig is)</p>

<p>I got 5’s on both gov exams and 4’s on the rest.</p>

<p>My school is ranked in the top 100 in the country…I don’t see why you would question that?</p>

13

<p>WashU: High<br>
Vandy: High
Northwestern: High
Duke: High
Harvard: u will prob get in
Yale: 90% chance in
Princeton: u will prob get in
Georgetown: High
GW: High</p>

14

<p>Duke - high match
Harvard - reach
Yale- reach
Princeton- reach
Georgetown (SFS) low reach
George Washington University - in</p>

<p>Its always hard to predict ivies but your stats looks awesome!!</p>

15

<p>Thank you both!! :)</p>

16

<p>WashU: match/high match
Vanderbilt: high match
Northwestern: high match
Duke: high match
Harvard: high reach…for all the three…HYP is high reach for everyone
Yale: high reach
Princeton: high reach
Georgetown: reach
George Washington University: low match</p>

<p>nice app :)</p>

17

<p>:) thanks! I wish the ivies were more predictable!</p>

18

<p>WashU: Match
Vandy: Match
Northwestern: High Match
Duke: low reach
Harvard: Reach
Yale: Reach
Princeton: Reach
Georgetown: Low Reach
GW: Low Match</p>

19

<p>All top tiers excluding Yale, Harvard, and Duke are matches. Yale, Harvard, Duke are going to be reaches with Yale and Harvard higher on the ladder [I live 15 minutes from the Duke campus and my overall observation is that Ivy & Stanford rejects tend to go there].</p>

<p>GW? Really. Definitely a low match, if not a safety.</p>

20

<p>Wow thanks! :)</p>
