<p>I go to Williams but I'm international so I don't have much to say. But try posting on the Williams board. I'm sure you'll get some good responses.</p>
<p>I'd say that you've got a great chance (75%+) at Colgate, Hamilton, McGill, and George Washington.</p>
<p>In the next tier, I'd say that you've got about a 50% chance of acceptance at Bowdoin and Vassar.</p>
<p>I can't say how well the interviews went at Middlebury and Williams, but interviewing with the Director of Admissions and it going 'great' probably means you've got a better chance than most... Still these top institutions are very hard to get into, so I wouldn't chance you at more than a one-third chance of getting in. Same goes for Georgetown.</p>
<p>I'd recommend retaking the SAT and shooting to score a 2100 or better. Getting a 33 on the ACT would also help a lot, as would pumping up your subject test scores. Try taking Math IIC and either Physics or Chem since you're taking honors courses in those classes.</p>
<p>You have great ECs for the level of schools you are applying to. However, your scores and grades while strong, will not make you stand out in the applicant pool. If you get a 33 on the ACT, then I'd say most of these schools are matches, however with your current stats:</p>
<p>Chances at...
LACs:
Middlebury (interviewed at, went well)-Reach
Williams (great interview w/ Director of Admissions)-Low Reach
Bowdoin (great interview)-High Match
Vassar-You are a guy so it's a low match
Colgate (Director of Admissions came to meet me, he knows my collge counselor)-Match
Hamilton (interviewed at)-Err..I don't know this school</p>
<p>Universities:
McGill (Match)
George Washington (Low Match)
Georgetown (Reach)</p>
<p>The lucky thing for me is that my dad gave up his summer to take me around the east to visit all the schools on my list.</p>
<p>I also like nearly all of my schools even my semi-safeties (GW, and University of Washington.) Thanks for the chances guys. I've become pretty excited about finding the right fit for me.</p>
