<p>good job man…
I wish I was in your position right now because im applying to some of those schools.
Your chances for all of them are decent but you know that your essay better be a killer for the Ivy’s and NYU.</p>

<p>Thats the best I can say since im not much of an expert but motivation is always appreciated right?</p>

<p>I like your chances man im kind of jealous</p>

<p>Thanks alot man!</p>

6

<p>yea I have a post to about cooper union im about to bump it again</p>

<p>You definitely have a great chance at most of those colleges. </p>

<p>For columbia and brown, I’ve heard of a lot of really qualified people getting rejected, so you better write great essays to increase your chances and hope for the best. You may want to consider taking SAT IIs, especially in the ap sciences you have taken, I’ve heard chem isn’t that hard. also, try math IIC, its hardest concepts are pre-calc and the curve is really generous. Also, try running for leadership positions in the clubs/honor societies you are in if possible.</p>

<p>Chance me back :slight_smile:

<p>Oh damn it lol i did take both chemistry (740) and Math 2(730).</p>

<p>I cant believe I forgot to mention that o.o</p>

<p>You have stellar chance of getting in any university in the nation. Congrats on your SAT. However, Brown and Columbia reject perfect applicants every year so I can’t consider it a “safety”</p>

<p>Chance me

<p>Bump 10char, anyone else??</p>

<p>Honestly, there shouldn’t be a problem except when it comes to the Ivy’s. Like someone before me mentioned, the Ivy’s are kind of a shoot and miss. They’ve been known to deny admission to highly qualified people for odd reasons. Depending on the applicant pool the year you apply, it could go either way, but I think you should get into at least one.</p>

<p>Chance me back please :slight_smile: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1408706-chance-me-princeton-cornell-ucs-carnegie-more.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1408706-chance-me-princeton-cornell-ucs-carnegie-more.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

15

<p>Thanks man, yeah i really hope i can get into atleast one ;)</p>

16

<p>your scores and grades are great but your sats are a little lacking in leadership or originality to set you apart from other applicants for some of those top schools like ivys…try to get really great recommendations and blow them away with your essays and originality! good luck!! chance back?</p>
