<p>Not enough people posting on these "chance threads" I am writing as a mother deep into the process, Have read SEVERAL books on admissions, working with a professional counselor for my D. Been on all the web sites, and the local rising senior parents think me an authority (that said...like 99% of the people on the site, I am not a professional guidence counselor (those guys are useless anyway), and have a knowledge of the local kids stats and where they got in: That said...You're tests look strong as do your EC activities. Do you have a paying job or any volunteer experience? Usually the Asian angle won't help....but your South Asian and Bangladeshi (a desirable kind of Asian from an admissions standpoint!) I am surprised your weighted average isn't higher based on your stats. Were your freshman, sophmore classes honors or high honors? Does your school offer them?</p>

<p>No matter what anyone says...this is no science</p>

<p>Cornell Reach but fightin chance
Penn Uber Reach/Hail Mary
Amherst/Swarthmore Reach
Haverford Good but tough
Northwestern Reach but slight chance
Michigan Good but no guarantees
Case Western In like Flynn
Carnegie Mellon 50/50
Emory Fightin chance
Vanderbilt Fightin chance
Georgia Tech no knowledge of this school
Rice/Washington Univ (StL) Know Rice is really tough but<br>
not familiar, Wash U...reach
Indiana Univ In like Flynn
Purdue "
Notre In state...I'd put money your in</p>

<p>Of the 15 listed...I's bet you's get in over half</p>

<p>Good Luck...and get a job (literally) even if you don't need the cash</p>
