Chances Question

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>A classmate of mine is applying to Yale and Dartmouth. Here's as much as I know of his stats:</p>

<p>Top 15% at least in a class of 377.
GPA: 4.0 or so weighted
IB program--HL English, HL History, HL Math, Physics (SL)
SATs OK, low 600s</p>

<p>Teacher recs will tend towards his dynamic personality
Involvement in NHS, MHS, Interact and a couple other clubs
Main EC is Model UN--he's an amazing public speaker and has been very committed to it. So I would say his essays are also really good.</p>

<p>Black male from VA</p>

<p>I told him I thought he'd get in. What do you think?</p>

<p>His EC's are sparse, and his class rank is decent, but not great. If his SATs are low 600s, I'd say he doesn't have a very good shot (he's at least 150 pts off Yale's 25th percentile and 100 pts off Dartmouth's). Model UN is a great club (I do it, and love it), but it probably isn't enough...</p>

<p>I hate to use the word "reach", but I'd say the chances are fairly slim. Then again, admission to both schools is slim for most people.</p>

<p>no hell get in hes black
-what 99% of college confidential people will tell you</p>

<p>but in reality, no he has no chance at all</p>
