<p>Excellent list. Your stats are good. I would say that:</p>

<p>Yale is an extreme reach.</p>

<p>Amherst, Penn and Williams are reaches.</p>

<p>Cornell, Georgetown and Northwestern are matches</p>

<p>Boston College, NYU, Tufts and Wellesley are safe matches</p>

<p>But I do not see a true-blue, genuine safety.</p>

<p>Haha, that would be Rutgers. I didn't bother putting it in since I am 99.9% sure I've gotten accepted.</p>

<p>Anyway, thanks so much for your imput!</p>

4

<p>Yeah...that ought to about do it! LOL</p>

5

<p>what about SAT 2's, class rank (hopefully top 5%), and did your essays relate to your interests in anyway, and when do you find out about rutgers</p>

<p>You have an ok chance at the hard schools, probably better at cornell depending on what college you applied to</p>

<p>Well i'm top 8%... and WHOOPS~ forgot to post my SAT 2 Scores....
They Are....MATh 2c 720, Math 1c 720, Wrting 750</p>

<p>more imput would be nice...</p>

<p>Here's some input. Change your handle. I thought you were an Italian male with connections to the mob!</p>

<p>Nope, The Godfather just happens to be my favorite movie. El padrino is "The Godfather" in Spanish. That's why I put it as my screenname.</p>

<p>As indicated in my stats I am a FEMALE and a KOREAN-AMERICAN.</p>

<p>I was just pulling your leg. </p>

<p>As for your chances, like most applicants, it is your essays that are going to make all the differences. Your stats are very good, but they are not unique. But your essays can make you unique.</p>

<p>I got into Georgetown EA with very similar stats to urs, 1470 SATs, well i wont list them all but I think you have a great chance at Georgetown. I am also applying to Cornell and UPenn but those are never matches for anyone since they are so selective. The rest of the colleges that you are applying to should be matches. Good luck.</p>

<p>Thanks mucho for your opinion! I just wrote my Georgetown Essay answering the question about my interests and relating it to my future goal, and I didn't have someone proofread it (I am a huge procrastinator) and I don't think it was very good. </p>

<p>Oh well, I already sent it in...</p>
