<p>Brown (dream school)

Vassar
William and Mary
Penn State

<p>Any comments/suggestions are welcomed!</p>
<p>Pretty good ECs, great GPA, but you’ll want to pull up the SATs a bit if possible. Chances:
Brown (dream school) - 15% (It’s not you, it’s them. If you apply ED, your chances go up 10%. Brown is so popular that admissions are becoming really insane)
Cornell - 25% (If your SAT goes up 100 pts, your chances go up 15%)
Harvard (just for kicks) - 10% (Just like everyone else)
Swarthmore - 20% (Swat is tough too)
Wesleyan - 60% (pretty good chances)
Colgate - 60% (pretty good chances, free toothpaste)
Vassar - 35% (Vassar is also pretty popular)</p>
<p>Add a safety or two and you’ll hopefully have some great options in less than a year from now!</p>
<p>Chance me back?

University of Pittsburgh</p>
<p>thanks smartcookie! i’m chancing you back right now</p>
<p>Thanks! It looks like I forgot these for you:
William and Mary - 40% (raise that SAT and it will go up to 60%)
Penn State - You’re most likely in. I’d say 75%.
University of Pittsburgh - 50%</p>
<p>I’ll chance back anyone who chances me!</p>
<p>sorry if anyone’s really annoyed that this is my 3rd time bumping… but anyone else’s opinions?</p>
<p>just some updated information - i’m most likely going to get a B+ in my history class… which might drop my GPA a tiny bit… this might be my first B ever on my transcript - will this be very detrimental?</p>
<p>i’m also taking the SAT’s this saturday!!! (ah!)</p>
<p>Honestly, those SATs are quite critical. No, the B will not kill you, as long as it is a tough course.
