Chances for this kid. Low GPA but good SAT

<p>This isn't my chances but a chance for a "friend"/peer. All the info I post is all the info I know so far.</p>

<p>9th: 2.6
10:2.9
11:4.0
12:4.0 so far
SAT: 2250
300 community service hours
URM (black)
Student body president 11th and 12th grades
Runs an online business (website) that makes about $500 profits monthly
Worked at McDonalds since summer of 10th grade</p>

<p>Chances for Stanford, Princeton, Yale, Wharton (UPenn), Duke, UMich, Dartmouth, Cornell, Columbia, U of Chicago, Harvard NYU, and BU</p>

<p>Poor chance at most.</p>

<p>Not good. He needs safeties. Somewhere he can definitely get in. Try your state school.</p>

<p>Wow, your friend disclosed so much information to you. Why don’t you tell your friend to create an account so he can respond directly to feedback. It’s free.</p>

<p>wow those are weird stats. poor chances at all except BU and maybe UMich. but even those aren’t matches/safeties by any means.</p>

<p>In at BU. Out everywhere else I’d guess. </p>

<p>The URM might help you into Umich or NYU. </p>

<p>But VERY unlikely to any ivy schools. </p>

<p>Apply to some safeties (state schools) and some good but more “normal” level schools that might throw you a bone B/C of your SAT and URM status (American, Union, Lafayette, Northeastern, Emerson)</p>
