<p>chances look good for penn, but not too sure about harvard and columbia. your ec’s might be a bit lower than some of the more qualified harvard applicants so that might be a reach. chance me back: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1674595-chance-me-at-georgia-tech-cooper-union-virginia-tech-and-case-western.html#latest”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1674595-chance-me-at-georgia-tech-cooper-union-virginia-tech-and-case-western.html#latest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Your US History subject test score is impressive for a Brit…and for an American, too.</p>

5

<p>You have a very good chances for every colleges</p>

6

<p>great chance</p>

7

<p>Great grades, scores, good extracurriculars. As good a chance as any, better than most, but remember, the Ivies are a reach for just about everyone.</p>

8

<p>I think your chances are as good as anyone’s. You do know that Harvard and Columbia do not offer undergraduate Finance/Business majors? Penn does, at the Wharton School. </p>

<p>Your numbers are decent but your EC’s aren’t so great. It seems like you haven’t really done anything special… you just joined some clubs. Your chances are decent at best for all of the schools you mentioned. Add some state schools.</p>
