<p>Chance me for:</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>Wow, those numbers are really good. </p>

<p>You're in a Wisconsin and Minnesota. I'd also say in at Northwestern. Chicago will be a slightly tougher, but ultimately I think you get in there as well. Out of the other three (Yale, Harvard, Columbia) I believe you will get into at least one of them, probably two. Columbia is the lowest reach, maybe even a match, from a stats stand point but Columbia is really selective in terms of qualities they desire in students. Good luck!</p>

3

<p>thanks for your input!! but i think its really optimistic to say i will get into at least one of HYC...anybody else?</p>

4

<p>^^I'm always optimistic. Someone else can give you better feedback. After all, I just got accepted to my 1st choice today.</p>

5

<p>Did you get rejected or merely deferred?</p>

6

<p>dang, I'm so sorry about that... Well, I'm kinda in your position bc I got deferred. For me, that's just as bad bc Stanford was my #1 choice... With your stats I thought you'd at least get deferred. Oh, and I don't think Columbia is going to be that hard for you to get in. Hope that cheers you up!</p>

7

<p>lol, thanks guys...yea, i got rejected, not deferred. I dont think Stanford defers to many..</p>

8

<p>bump, with a little more info:
Indian Male
Exact Rank: 5/389</p>

9

<p>whoaa your stats are really similar to mine (yay deca!)
i got rejected too :'(</p>

<p>i think you're definitely going to get in to atleast one of the ivies...</p>

10

<p>bump, anybody else?</p>

11

<p>maybe one last bump? :(</p>

12

<p>bump and can u chance for these colleges too?
Washington University in St. Louis
Carleton College
Macalester College</p>

13

<p>wow i cant believe u got straight out rejected from Stanford. I would have thought u would at least get deferred.</p>

14

<p>Hmmm. I also went to Stanford Summer Program of 07. UJB.
I'd guess that u are in at all the colleges u listed except for Harvard and Yale. If you got rejected from Stanford, then your chances at Harvard and Yale are probably not much better. Columbia probably isnt as huge a reach as u think and I think you can get in there.</p>

15

<p>I was UJ-A...did you apply to Stanford SCEA?</p>

16

<p>bump bump plz</p>

17

<p>nah. I am applying regular decision. I am a bit unnerved by the fact that you got rejected though.<br>
UJ-A.....I am trying to think of a Hindu male from UJB and the only names i can come up with are Sahas, Sankalp, Nick, and Nishant.</p>

18

<p>probably in at northwestern, wash u, and u chicago.
yeah columbia, yale, and harvard one of those three
your stats are amazing.. why'd you get rejected?</p>

19

<p>lol, sprtn117, i know all those guys, but im not one of them, i can PM my name to you if u want..
@dietcoke14 i think my EC's and essays weren't good enough for Stanford...i'm retooling my essays for my other applications. I mean it was Stanford....i wasn't expecting to get in.</p>

<p>I was deferred from stanford... does anyone know any stats on that? how many people get deferred? how many get in afterwards?</p>
