<p>First time posting here, don't really want to be too specific, but here's my college list. </p>
<p>Yale-
Brown-
Cornell-
Penn(legacy)-</p>
<p>Georgetown
Tufts
Barnard(safety?)-</p>
<p>I have a 2310 SAT, around a 3.9 GPA, and will have taken 7 AP's by graduation.</p>
<p>EC's include leadership in varsity sports and clubs,tutoring, summer programs, volunteering, two internships, and published research. Also have studied a few different languages.</p>
<p>EC's are probably my strongest point, even though I don't want to go into detail here.</p>
<p>I have the exact same SAT scores and a similar GPA umweighted. Your scores are solid. What is the rigor of your coursework? I think the published research helps your app a lot. You have a great chance at any of these schools.</p>
<p>I think rigor is pretty hard…we’re only allowed AP’s jr and sr year, but no one really takes them, maybe 1.</p>
<p>Your stats are consistent both with those accepted into the 4 schoosl you led with and are consistent with those rejected from those same 4 schools.</p>
<p>For example, Brown says “no” to about 80% of valedictorians, about 70% of those with perfect (36) ACTs, and about 3/4 of those who scored an 800 Math SAT or an 800 Critical Reading SAT. For those with 750 -790 SATs, Brown rejected about 85% of applicants.</p>
<p>So . . . Go For It . . . and know that these schools get so many applications from so many talented students that it’s important for you to have a safety school or two available, because althought stats like yours will get you considered . . like thousands of others . . they also match the profile of those these schools said “no” to.</p>
<p>Good luck!!! and love thy safeties.</p>
<p>I know that…those are my reaches, I have lots of safeties. But how am I looking for the other 3?</p>
<p>I think that you have a chance at most of these schools depending on how well-written your essays are. Your legacy will help you at UPenn but even though your scores are high I don’t think that you should be making Barnard a safety.</p>

<p>Unless you’re a minority I have no idea since all those schools have like a 10% acceptance rate</p>
<p>not a minority…and yea, i dont really know too much about barnard.</p>
<p>You are definitely in the running for those schools. Although no one can say for certain where you’ll get in (I know people with amazing grades/scores/EC’s who didn’t get into Ivies and I know people who alright grades/scores/EC’s and who did get in), you have a decent shot. It will all come down to your essays, but you are a strong applicant. And you will probably get into Tufts and Barnard.</p>
<p>So I’ll definately get into at least one of the above?</p>
<p>What are my chances for each in terms of reach,match, etc. Should I put Barnard as a reach or match/</p>
<p>Barnard would be low reach (maybe high match?). It’s very difficult to get into. But your stats are pretty good.</p>
<p>I think Barnard, Tufts, and Georgetown are matches, Cornell Penn high match/low reach and Yale Brown, low/mid reaches, but if your EC’s are as good as you say then you should have a good chance.</p>
<p>My EC’s are by far the best part of my app, pretty much. So if that gives any perspective.</p>
<p>You definitely have a great chance. Just make sure your essays glow.</p>
<p>thanks…anyone else?</p>
