<p>bumpppp please guys</p>

3

<p>def in for umcp
prob in for NYU
if u make ur essays amazing then u prob have a chance at Upenn and MIT</p>

4

<p>Cornell looks like a low reach
barnard looks like a high match
I don’t know about any of the other schools, but your SAT 2’s are good as are your grades and extracurrics. good luck!</p>

5

<p>Cornell, Penn, MIT - Reach
The others look like matches.</p>

<p>UPenn & MIT = high reaches
Cornell = mid to low reach</p>

<p>The rest, I would say range from high match to low match. I say this a lot, but your ECs don’t seem focused on one thing. They are decent, but it would be better if you highlight what you want to major in/study. You test scores are obviously very good, but your GPA isn’t as strong (since I’m assuming it’s UW).</p>

<p>Don’t just have “great” essays either, or “ok” teacher recs! You have a strong profile, but essays & recs are important too. Best of luck!</p>

<p>Thanks guys and my ec s are focused more on math btw math team this research paper I’m working on and jobs also do u think that I could get into Cornell cals Ed? My guidance conselur told me that bc of my scores and leadership I have a decent chance. Agree or disagree? Please b brutally honest</p>

8

<p>excellent chances to cornell, especially if you are a urm, thou your gpa is some thing you need to explain on your essay.
good luck</p>

9

<p>I’m not a urn though and yes thankfully my grades were in an upward trend</p>

10

<p>Cornell Cals biometry and statistics ed or reg- you have a solid chance, ED could possibly be the push you need
Barnard- good chance
Brandeis- unfamiliar with
University of Maryland College Park- unfamiliar with
Binghamton- in, safety
NYU- in
Penn & MIT- high reaches because of GPA, but hey, go for it and good luck!
chance back :)</p>

<p>I think you have a close match for Cornell if you apply ED to that program. Your SAT is well in the upper percentiles (~75%). Your EC are regular (nothing extraordinary) BUT your consistency in high standardized test scoring will give you a push especially if u apply ED.
chance back!?</p>

<p>Cornell penn and MIT are dubious at best.</p>
