<p>bump…</p>

4

<p>I only know Cornell and University of Rochester…
Cornell - Reach
U of R - High Match - Low Reach</p>

5

<p>Tulane is an easy match.</p>

<p>U of R, you should get in.</p>

<p>Everything else is a bit of a reach</p>

6

<p>Rochester- Match
Tulane- High Match
Emory- Low Reach
Cornell- Reach
Vanderbilt- Reach</p>

<p>Good ECs and strength of schedule. If possible, take more SAT II tests and check which schools superscore ACT. A few do, but most don’t.</p>

<p>Oh and please chance me back! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1577151-please-chance-my-list-colleges-i-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1577151-please-chance-my-list-colleges-i-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>University of Rochester - You should get in.
Tulane - You should get in.
Cornell - Reach (Cornell does not superscore ACT.)
Emory - Low Reach
Vanderbilt ED - Reach</p>

<p>Your extracurriculars are strong, but definitely check to see which schools superscore ACT scores. If you can make your essays outstanding, I’m sure you can get in all of your schools.</p>

<p>If I send in all of of my test scores, will Cornell (and the other schools) look at my highest subscores? For example, I got 35 on Math for one ACT, and then it dropped to a 33 on the next test. Also, my essays, according to my GC, are pretty good.</p>

<p>Btw, good job on TEAM+S</p>

<p>Rochster and Tulane: high math-safe
Emory: low reach.
Cornell and Vanderbilt: reach
