Chances: Princeton

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi. Any input is appreciated. My top choice would be Princeton, followed by Cornell, Harvard, and Columbia. I am planning on going into chemistry/physics, and would prefer to stay in the northeast US.</p>

<p>Please be brutally honest. I am still open to other colleges, so suggestions will be appreciated.</p>

<p>it would depend on your SATs and ACTs but you should have a decent chance… </p>

<p>GOOD LUCK!</p>

<p>Thank you both. I have to agree with both of you. Cornell and Columbia are much more realistic.</p>

<p>I recently heard something from seniors at my high school. Apparently, in the last 3 years, we have had:
3 Yale students
2 Cornell students
0 Columbia students
0 Harvard students
0 Princeton students
0 U. Penn students
0 MIT students
0 Stanford students
0 Berkeley students
0 John Hopkins students</p>

<p>I live closer to Cornell than any other of these colleges, so that would be why we have many Cornell students, but could there be a reason why we have had ONLY Yale and Cornell students?</p>

<p>Why Cornell and Columbia are much more realistic?Maybe Cornell is,but not Columbia.
The fact is that these days Columbia is more selective than Princeton.
So,Cornell match,others reach.</p>

<p>Harvard- 20%
Cornell- 70%
Princeton-25%
Columbia-65%</p>

<p>Chance me Please!! </p>
