First generation college student, if you have other college choices that you want to recommend please let me know. thank you for the help</p>
<p>Your grades are a little low, but you have great SAT scores... I'd say that you have a good chance at all the schools, though less so at Columbia.</p>

<p>I think it's a low reach at Columbia. Everywhere else I think you are quite competitive. =]</p>
<p>Great SATs! Congrats!</p>
<p>Chance back?

<p>Everywhere except Columbia is probably in </p>
<p>nice 2300 btw</p>
<p>I would say that both of these are high-match schools, so probably about 75-80 percent chance of admission.</p>
<p>Also, come chance me at Northwestern, JHU, Penn, Duke, Cornell, Rice, UMich, Georgetown, Washington University at St. Louis, University of Chicago, Emory, UC LA, UC Berkeley, Columbia, Cooper Union

<p>Also, come chance me at Small-town junior looking for advice and chances on big-name schools Thanks!</p>
<p>Well, Columbia is a low reach b/c of your grades, but they were due to special circumstances and your counselor explained them well. You are in great shape for the other schools, and your other stats, such as SAT IIs and ECs, might just be enough to make up for them</p>
<p>Boston College- Match
Michigan- Probably in
NYU Stern- Low match
Carnegie Mellon- Low match/in
Columbia University- Mentioned above
Emory- Low match/in
Northwestern- Match
Vanderbilt- Match
Washington U in St Louis- High match b/c they've been weird as of late
Rutgers Pharmacy- In, unless it's like a super-competitive program that I'm not aware of </p>
<p>Chance me please! <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/621725-took-risk-blew-any-hope-left.html%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/621725-took-risk-blew-any-hope-left.html</a></p>
<p>in at BC, Michigan, CM, Emory, Rutgers...Vandy, WashU, and NW, Stern are matches....i think the only reach is columbia. you're in good shape...no worries</p>
<p>Chance me for Hamilton ED II...it's around the first page somewhere</p>
<p>well youre in at most of those schools, Northwestern, Vandy and Wash U are probably high matches because of your gpa and Columbia is a reach for everyone, but that SAT is phenomenal so you have a pretty decent chance anywhere</p>
<p>chance me back
