<p>Cornell- Low Reach
UPenn(legacy)- Low Reach
Georgetown- Low Reach
Tufts(legacy)- Match
Northwestern- Low Reach
Barnard- Low Match
Duke- Low-Mid Reach</p>

<p>Solid chances especially at legacy schools. Nothing of particular note in your activities but nothing seems problematic. Overall, typical applicant who will certainly get into one of the above.</p>

<p>Thanks, that would be great…all you need is one. Barnard is a low match? I’ve heard it is extremely difficult to get into…</p>

<p>Cornell-I think your odds of getting into cornell are definitely 85%+. You have everything that they would be looking for.
UPenn(legacy)-Even though you are legacy at UPENN, you still may not get in. Though i’d put your chances at around the 75%-80% level. Your SAT II’s are what are lowering your chances here.
Georgetown-I would say your chances here are 90%-95%
Tufts(legacy)-Tufts is a little easier to get into than Penn. Probably around 85% chance.
Northwestern-80%-85%
Barnard-95%-100% you have the perfect credentials for this school.
Duke-This may be your hardest school to get into. Probably about 65% chance. </p>

<p>A lot of these rankings would change based on your location. If you live in an area that does not have many elite students as you are than your chances sky-rocket. However, I am assuming that you live in an area like NY that has many people similar to you. Overall you will definitely get into at least 3 of these schools. Good Luck!</p>

<p>While I’d LOVE to believe your predictions, I really can’t believe how high my chances are at these schools.</p>

<p>BUT if it makes any difference, I’m applying to Cornell Human Ecology. Also I’m going to Girls State this year.</p>

<p>Cornell-low reach
UPenn(legacy)-low match
Georgetown-low reach
Tufts(legacy)-low match
Northwestern-low reach
Barnard-low reach
Duke-mid reach</p>

<p>Hmm…that doesn’t make much sense either! Realistic chances, please?</p>

<p>I agree with originalthought, you definitely have a good chance at all of these schools, you have the scores, but I think in order to make you stand out more you may want to do something that others haven’t done. This should not be considered rude in anyway but I feel like your scores, grades, and activities are typical for applicants at most of these schools. If you can find something special that no one else has and is unique for you then I think that will really boost your chances.</p>

<p>Chance me back please! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1143593-ill-chance-back-chance-me-liberal-art-schools-ivies-ucs.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1143593-ill-chance-back-chance-me-liberal-art-schools-ivies-ucs.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Your golden for Penn as a legacy.</p>

10

<p>That’s interesting…I haven’t gone really into detail, but most who I talk to say my EC’s are the strongest part. I mean, I’m a jewish girl who’s into Japanese? I had thought my research publication was a big thing, but I guess that’s pretty common too.</p>

11

<p>Bump this?</p>

12

<p>bump again!</p>

13

<p>You have a really good chance of getting into all of them, especially the legacy schools and Barnard. And I think you’re ECs are pretty unique. You have really strong stats so I think you’d have a pretty good shot at some of the other ivies as well.</p>

14

<p>Thanks a lot…I don’t think I’m going to add any more Ivies though!</p>

15

<p>Cornell is a low reach.
UPenn is a high match as a legacy</p>

16

<p>bump guys…</p>

17

<p>The only way your legacy status will give you a real boost at UPenn is if you apply ED. Are you thinking of doing that?</p>

18

<p>nope…either barnard or cornell ED</p>
