<p>i am definitely not qualified enough to tell you whether or not you have a shot, but i think you do!</p>

3

<p>ECs are kind of weak for a university like Cornell</p>

4

<p>Thanks for the replies. If anyone else has some opinions Id like to hear them.</p>

5

<p>bump......</p>

<p>Here's my opinion:</p>

<p>Cornell (ED to CAS) - reach (ECs are weak)
Tufts - reach
Emory - reach/match
Northwestern - reach/match
UVA - match
UMich - match
Boston College - match/safety
Lehigh - safety
Boston University - safety/match
Syracuse - safety</p>

<p>You really need to pinpoint a few ECs you really liked and showed a lot of interest in. As of now, your ECs look more like a laundry list, and I can't see one where you show particular interest. This is going to hurt at colleges like Cornell, Tufts, and NW.</p>

<p>i got my sat subject test scores and ap test scores which are...</p>

<p>math 1: 800
lit: 690</p>

<p>bio: 3
stat: 4

<p>so will this effect my chances much?</p>

<p>Anyone else wana chance me? I also think Im going to add Johns Hopkins to my list so anyone can chance me for there too.
ivycmm - CAS is college of arts and sciences</p>

13

<p>Yikes, bring up that SAT score, man! 770 is all right, but those other two sections need attention!</p>

14

<p>i dont think im going to retake the SATs but will it really matter since they can just look at my ACT score instead</p>
