<p>Dartmouth
Columbia
Cornell AEM
UMich-Ross
NYU-Stern
Carnegie Mellon- Tepper
Emory
Lehigh (my sister graduated '05)
Boston College
Rutgers</p>

<p>Dartmouth - slim chance
Columbia-slim chance
Cornell AEM-OK chance
UMich-Ross - OK chance for direct admit, in otherwise
NYU-Stern - decent chance
Carnegie Mellon- Tepper - good chance
Emory-good chance
Lehigh -in
Boston College-in
Rutgers-in</p>

<p>good chance in all of those schools
dtan's predictions are innaccurate</p>

<p>For what it's worth, I think DTan's predictions are somewhat reasonable. I would not suggest that you stand a "good chance" to be admitted at Dartmouth, Columbia and Cornell, although your chances are in the competitive space, though "REACHY" for these schools (particularly Columbia). You MATCH up to UMich, NYU, CMU, Emory and BC. You are a MATCH to SAFETY at Lehigh and a SAFETY at Rutgers.</p>

<p>Since most of these schools take a holistic view of evaluating your applications, there are many factors that the adcoms will examine. Your essays and the way your EC's are viewed will factor into the decision-making process. Good luck to you!</p>

<p>when you say Ok chance... wat does that translate to...
also.. is Cornell AEM better than CMU Tepper...? (which ones harder to get into)</p>

<p>i guess i really want to go to dartmouth or columbia but apparently i only have a slim chance so i shouldnt get my hopes up... errr</p>

<p>hope they like my essays... o btw i got deferred from wharton</p>

<p>anyone???????????!!!!!??????? please...!!</p>

<p>And why is Chicago not on your list?</p>

<p>Hmmmmmmm?</p>

<p>Dartmouth - Decent Chance
Columbia - Decent Chance
Cornell AEM - Decent Chance
UMich-Ross - Decent Chance (for ROSS), in at LSA
NYU-Stern - Good Chance
Carnegie Mellon- Tepper - Good Chance
Emory - Good Chance
Lehigh (my sister graduated '05) - Safe Match / Safety
Boston College - Match / Safe Match
Rutgers - Safety</p>

<p>I believe the selectivity of the business schools at some of these universities is being underrated.</p>

<p>Dartmouth and Columbia are stretches for anyone. </p>

<p>All these schools have reputable, popular business programs, and in many cases have separate admissions. Generally these programs are more selective than the rest of the school. </p>

<p>Not sure of NYU Stern or Mich acceptance rates but their business schools are very selective. Cornell AEM rate was 16% I believe last year. CMU Tepper was 17% and they've reported large increase in apps this year. I wouldn't call these "good" chance, not when they reject 5 out of 6, (but definitely has a chance at any incl the ivies).</p>

<p>Overall a good list.</p>

<p>I think the high math scores are great but not unusual for NYU/Cornell/CMU/Mich. The business ec's appear good. imo Rutgers-safety, Lehigh, BC match, the rest match/reach or reach.</p>

<p>Decent Chance doesn't mean Match... :P</p>

<p>UMich accepts 16% (115/716). I'm pretty sure that the accept rate will be lower this year. Michigan will still accept the same number of applicants this year however, but now that more people know about pre-admit to ROSS (first year this was possible was last year), more ppl will apply for the same number of spots. So I wouldn't be surprised to hear about an acceptance rate below 10% this year...</p>

<p>GL though</p>

<p>i got into emory with stats slightly worse then urs, id say its a match.</p>

<p>thanx everyone... i guess im just really worried in general
i know that i can potentially get rejected from everywhere... w/ midterms comin up (4 APs)... its just really hard to handle..!! err</p>

<p>btw Happy New Years everyone</p>

<p>more comments are welcomed!!</p>
