<p>thanks. anyone else?</p>

<p>I’d say you’re in at UMD, have a good chance at UVA,UNC and Hopkins. Cornell and Penn are a low reach.</p>

6

<p>UMD: in
UNC: reach (like ivy OOS)
UVA: again reach
Penn: mid reach
Hopkins: low reach
Cornell: low reach</p>

<p>Thanks for the chance!</p>

7

<p>UMD: in
UNC: high match/low reach (OOS)
UVA: ditto UNC
Penn: reach
Hopkins: high match
Cornell: low reach</p>

<p>Your ECs are slightly above average and your SAT/GPA is good. I would really just aim to nail those SAT IIs and you are pretty good to go. I am not sure about other schools but I know about Penn and Cornell:</p>

<p>Penn -mid/high reach
Cornell - low/mid reach</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Hey could you chance me back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/897889-chances-ivies-will-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/897889-chances-ivies-will-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>The only thing you’d better add to your application are some sports. I think that they’re pretty important. Your application is really strong, but you never know with the ivies. I’d say in for Brown , UVA and maybe UPenn</p>

<p>edit: almost forgot. Be sure to score above 750+ on the SAT subject tests :)</p>

12

<p>thanks freedomoverdose…others?</p>

13

<p>UMD (in-state) - Safety
Chapel Hill - Match
UVA - Match
Hopkins - Match
Penn - Low reach
Cornell - Match</p>

<p>Thanks for chancing me earlier!</p>

14

<p>UMD: in
UNC: high match
UVA: high match
Penn: reach
Hopkins: low reach
Cornell: high match</p>

15

<p>I’m having a difficult time seeing you in Cornell or Penn.</p>

16

<p>Why’s that? As in my stats aren’t up to par, or I wouldn’t fit in?</p>

17

<p>Compare yourself to the resumes of the people who have been accepted in past 5ish years, then you will see.</p>

18

<p>I mean, people with much “better” resumes get rejected and people with “worse” ones get accepted, which is the case for most applicants.</p>

19

<p>Hmmm… Excellent GPA and great work on sticking with those extracurric’s. But so far that’s all you’ve got going for you - academics. You need to show colleges that you’re more than just somebody who gets A’s and a decent SAT (for most of these schools).</p>

<p>UMD (in-state), don’t know this school, in state means prob safety
Chapel Hill, in
UVA don’t know this one either
Hopkins, Low reach
Penn - Match
Cornell -Easier match than the previous 2 but still no telling.</p>

<p>There’s a reason why I said only look at the ones who were accepted. Think about it.</p>
