<p>Hi! I'm in the final stages of applying to colleges (stress) and it would be much appreciated if anyone here could give me a fun chancing</p>
<p>I think we’ll need a little more to go off than that :p</p>
<p>Oh gawd I pressed enter spastically and it posted accidentally!</p>

<p>“modifying to delete previous post because it was before you posted stats”</p>
<p>Your grades are great (though I have no idea how rigorous your schedule is), and your scores are good. However, your ECs are a bit run-of-the-mill, which may keep you out of tippy top schools. Here are my predictions:</p>
<p>Brown: Rejected
Columbia: Rejected
Rice: Accepted
Cornell: Accepted
Carnegie Mellon: Accepted
Dartmouth: Rejected
UVA: Rejected
Notre Dame: Accepted
WashU: Acceped
Vanderbilt (legacy): Accepted</p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
<p>I agree with studious Maximus</p>
<p>Brown - Reach
Columbia- Higher reach
Rice- high match
Cornell-high match
Carnegie Mellon-match
Dartmouth-high match
UVA -match
Notre Dame-match
WashU- match
Vanderbilt (legacy) -low match</p>
<p>^ Keep in mind that he is out-of-state for UVA, so it may be a reach for him.</p>
<p>Write great essays for Brown, Columbia, and Dartmouth (and make sure your peer review is solid for this one); they’ll help tons. Imo the rest of the schools are either high matches or low reaches and I think you’ll get into at least a few of them. Good luck!</p>
<p>omg that’s perfect I would die to get into any of them!</p>
<p>Haha sorry about my EC list, I have a lot more details/awards (especially in photography) but I didn’t put them because I was in a rush after accidentally posting thread without stats!</p>
<p>course rigor: I’m taking 6 APs senior year (unheard of at my school) so that’s pretty much covered </p>
<p>essays: working on making them beautiful! </p>
<p>good to hear good chances 
soothes the nerves
there are a lot of nerves.</p>
<p>feeling a bump </p>
<p>also chances for Williams, Tufts, and UPenn if possible</p>
<p>extra deets: </p>
<p>Photography - I wrote my common app essay about it! I’ve been recognized nationally, featured in the W Hotel of Chicago and various online galleries. I’ll probably include a lot of it on my architecture portfolio/art supplement. I also started a photography club at my school which has been a lot of fun! </p>
<p>Community Service - 600+ hours, in altar serving for church, central america service trips, and Camp Promise especially. Camp promise is where I spend a week paired one on one as a caretaker for an adult with mental and/or physical disabilities. </p>
<p>uhh rest doesn’t need too much more details I guess. also I’m tired of typing.</p>
<p>You have a pretty decent application, and it is pretty clear that you are an academically “lopsided” applicant; your Cr and W scores are very high while your math scores are lacking. If you write good essays, then this app might work well for you.</p>
<p>My predictions:</p>
<p>Brown: Accepted
Columbia: Rejected
Rice: Accepted
Cornell: Waitlisted
Carnegie Mellon: Waitlisted
Dartmouth: Accepted
UVA: Rejected
Notre Dame: Rejected
WashU: Acceped
Vanderbilt (legacy): Accepted</p>
<p>Brown - reach
Columbia - reach
Rice - low reach
Cornell - reach
Carnegie Mellon - match
Dartmouth - reach
UVA - low reach
Notre Dame - reach
WashU - reach
Vanderbilt (legacy) - low reach</p>
<p>The activities you describe are not very different from what a lot of other people do, which is a little problematic at the very top schools, just because they’re so competitive. Essays will also be a major factor in your decision, which can make each prediction bump up/down by at least a notch depending on how those go.</p>
<p>Brown: High Reach
Columbia: High Reach
Rice: Low Reach
Cornell: High Reach
CMU: High Match/Low Reach
Dartmouth: Mid-high Reach
UVA: High Match
Notre Dame: Match/High Match
WashU: High Reach
Vanderbilt: Low-mid Reach</p>
<p>@Nihilus well I got into both Notre Dame and UVa early action soooo…</p>
<p>Anyone else willing to predict/chance the rest? </p>
