Chances for Ivys/Ivy calibres please.

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I think I'm a bit too ambitious for my credentials, but I want these schools really badly.</p>

<p>SCHOOLS, in order of preference:
NYU Tisch
Columbia
Northwestern
USC
Brown
Cornell</p>

<p>I will also apply to these if my chances at the above are low. I know they're not easier to get into but statistically I'd have a better chance of getting into one of them if I apply to more.
UChicago
Penn
Wash U</p>

<p>OBJECTIVES:
GPA: 3.63 UW, 4.13 W. My GPA was lowered by most recent semester (3.300), my counselor letter of rec will explain why.
IB Diploma
SAT: 690 CR 710 M 660 W...predicting 710 CR 760 M and 700 W
ACT: 35 E 33 M 28 R 26 S for a composite of 31. Might take again.
SAT II: Will take Math II, Lit, and Physics. I'm going to try hard for 800s, but assume 780/780/740.</p>

<p>SUBJECTIVES:
EXTRACURRICULARS: Youth Symphony Orchestra since 8th grade
DECA Nationals competitor, State medalist x2, and Regional winner last year. Started Sophomore year. Involved again this year.
Job as a grill cook since junior year, working 30 hours a week.
Film Club president and founder
Model United Nations (MUN). Attending a conference in Vancouver, BC and I've opted out of two in Berkeley for DECA state.</p>

<p>ESSAYS/SUPPLEMENTS: My common app essay will be good but probably won't stand out, I think my supplements will be excellent.
LETTERS OF REC: The teacher ones are going to be fantastic, the counselor one won't be too special.</p>

<p>Oh, I got a 7 on my IB Film SL exam. I’m taking 5 more this year.</p>

<p>While you certainly have a chance of getting into some of these, it’s essential to have some safety and match schools on your list. Financial safeties too. NYU, for example, gives poor aid, so if you need much aid you can be accepted but not able to attend. So hopefully you add some schools!</p>

<p>Very low chances at Ivies, idk about the rest.</p>
