<p>I want to major in international relations and be a foreign service officer. Any other schools you guys think I should apply to?</p>
<p>Colleges (in order):
Georgetown (EA)
Stanford
UNC-Chapel Hill (oos) (EA)
Boston College (EA)
Northwestern
Columbia
Yale
UPenn
Brown
George Washington
UVa (oos)
Rice
USC (Southern California)
Michigan
UGA</p>
<p>well, i don't think you should be applying to any MORE colleges, but if you want an international relations school, i believe Johns Hopkins school of international relations is either #1 or 2 just behind or in front of Georgetown.</p>
<p>15 schools just seems like overkill (plus Upenn's applications supplement has 4 essays on its own, you'll kill yourself getting all those big name applications in) i think if you cut off 5 or 6 schools you'll be fine</p>
<p>Also...you don't seem to have any sort of safeties on your list AT ALL.
Every one of those schools seems to have an acceptance rate of less than 25%, except maybe George Washington, and even that could be classified as relatively competitive.</p>
<p>Well I don't plan on applying to all of those schools. I'm shooting for like 8 applications. Also, UGA's my safety--I'm pretty positive I'll get in there. Thanks for the replies.</p>
<p>Georgetown (EA) - decent chance
Stanford - no chance
UNC-Chapel Hill (oos) (EA) - slim chance
Boston College (EA) - good chance
Northwestern- OK chance
Columbia - no chance
Yale- no chance
UPenn - slim chance
Brown - slim chance
George Washington - in
UVa (oos) - OK chance
Rice - OK chance
USC (Southern California) - in
Michigan - very good chance
UGA-in</p>
<p>You don't strong EC's in international relations. Try to get some before senior year to make yourself a more practical candidate for the top schools. Try to raise your GPA and SATs as well.</p>
<p>I wouldn't listen to people telling you that you have "no chance" at any school. You are only a junior. The majority of my profile was built towards the end of my junior year and summer before senior year. Such comments will only limit your potential, and IMO, they are not well founded. Good luck, don't let up.</p>
<p>Your GPA is low, and not being in the top 10% will hurt you. Your ECs are really good, and your SAT is about average for most of your schools. Overall, I'd predict...
Georgetown (EA) -- Deferred/Waitlisted
Stanford -- Rejected
UNC-Chapel Hill (oos) (EA) --Deferred/Waitlisted
Boston College (EA) -- Deferred/Accepted
Northwestern -- Rejected
Columbia -- Rejected
Yale -- Rejected
UPenn -- Waitlisted
Brown -- Waitlisted
George Washington -- Accepted
UVa (oos) -- Waitlisted
Rice -- Rejected
USC (Southern California) -- Accepted
Michigan -- Accepted (for sure)
UGA -- Accepted (for sure)</p>
<p>I wouldn't be suprised if you got into any one of the "waitlisted" schools, but I see very little chance at the "rejected" schools. Good luck.</p>
<p>ok i dont see how hes WL at upenn and brown but rejected at northwestern and rice, thats innacurate bc all of their admissions r very heavily built on rank, and without a 2200+ and an excuse for ur low percentage of rank unless u go to a school that legitimately sends lower than top 10% graduates, check the common data sets, only about 1 in 10 get in from the 5-10% slot at upenn and brown and probly unc OOS. in addition, umichigan cant possibly be an accept for sure bc 90% of their incoming class is in the top 10%. so basically, get into the top 10% and raise ur sat's 150 points to make up for ur rank, or every school except uga, usc southern cal, and boston college will be likely rejections</p>
