<p>Subjective:
Recs- One is probably excellent, other very good
Essays- For the CommonApp/free topic essay, I wrote about how my love of the American Museum of Natural History in NYC prompted me to take an anthropology course at Brown, and how I not only learned about anthropology within a classroom setting, but also outside of the classroom, from the diversity of my peers... My best friends were from Bangladesh and South Korea.</p>

<p>Aren't Georgetown, Williams, and Amherst all harder to get into than Cornell.. ?</p>

<p>heck no. Gtown is ranked 20, Cornell is an ivy league. Williams and Amherst might be competitive with Cornell, but if you put LAC's in competition with private universities and colleges it would astonish u wehre Williams and Amherst might end up</p>

<p>I'm just going by acceptance rates... Cornell's is 27%, Georgetown's is 21%, and Williams & Amherst's are 19%. </p>

<p>why is Brown #4?</p>

<p>...yea, I agree...</p>

<p>Williams/Amherst are harder than Cornell, regardless of Ivy League/Universityness.</p>

<p>Flong is defintely off on this one, regardless of what you think of LAC's vs ivies/top universities, the elite ones still have incredibly low acceptance rates.</p>

<p>I would have that Georgetown would have been easier than Cornell, but I guess not.</p>

<p>All this considered, what're my chances at Cornell/Georgetown/Amhest&Williams ?</p>
