<p>Just curious – what do you view your chances at these schools? Why? What do you view as the strong points of your application? What do you view as your weaknesses?</p>

<p>I’m most concerned about Brown…I’m actually asking this because I’m planning college visits over winter break and I’m wondering which, if any, of these schools will be most worthwhile.
I think my strengths are my GPA, my SAT’s are decent, and leadership with soccer team captain.
Weaknesses are SAT subject test scores and maybe depth of extracurriculars? I have a lot, but not many leadership roles in them.</p>

<p>Decent chances. Wake forest and nd are likely</p>

<p>I think you’ll have no problem at Wake or ND. Over 50% shot at Vandy. Duke could go either way, better shot if you’re from a strong high school sending many to top colleges. Brown will be tough given average SAT and no stand out EC. Being from WA helps, it’s not out of the question.</p>
