<p>Middlebury -70 percent chance
Stanford - no
Princeton -no
Duke -40 percent chance
UT-Austin - 95 percent chance
U Minnesota-Twin Cities- 70 percent chance</p>
<p>Good chance at most of these schools. Rank will probably make you a definite no at ivies, stanford, and maybe duke.</p>
<p>"U Minnesota-Twin Cities- 70 percent chance"
I would say closer to 100.</p>
<p>"Stanford - no
Princeton -no"</p>
<p>It's certainly possible, but yeah, it will be hard. I would say Middlebury is slightly lower than 70, maybe, but I don't know. Tought to predict.</p>
<p>How possible is Stanford or Princeton (which ever is easier to get into/best anthropology department)?</p>
<p>Impossible. Seriously Stanford and Princeton as well as other Ivies have about everyone in the top 10 or the top 15% of their class and if they aren't, they have HUGE hooks which may be some big hooks combined such as minority + 2400 or having their dad and brother going there or having RECRUITABLE ATHLETE STATUS.</p>
<p>Middlebury is a small reach for you and just about every Ivy Leaguer would have Middlebury as a safety.</p>
<p>What about Brown, I think that's like Middlebury.</p>
<p>Um.. no.......I mean you can definitely try if you want I'm just saying that EVERY Ivy + Duke has like EVERYONE in the top 10 or top 15% of their class and if they aren't, they are a recruitable athlete or got a 2400 or has legacy status. </p>
<p>The rest of that, (maybe 1% can be luck).</p>
<p>:\ that doesn't seem to good.
UCSD? Good out look?</p>
<p>Look at Duke, which would be easier than or on par with any Ivy.</p>
<p>Only 55(CAS) and 3(Engineering) students out of 3,073 were accepted who were below 20%.
10%-20% accepted were 92(CAS) and 15(Engineering).</p>
<p>Seeing as how you are top 18%, I would put you closer with the top 20 so maybe your chances would be only around (55(non top 20) + 45(10-20) 100/3073. </p>
<p>This is at DUKE so you do not know how many of those 100 are recruitable atheletes or 2400 scoreres on the SAT. What about legacy or LEGACY status?</p>
<p>I'm sorry but if it was 100/3075, that would be about a 3% chance of acceptance. </p>
<p>To understand how low 3 percent is, flip a coin 5 times in a row. 0.5^5 is about 3%. Try getting ALL heads or ALL tails for those 5 coin flips in a row. </p>
<p>The reason I say 3% is because of the perceived 2400 scoreres or legacy status or athletes or etc.</p>
<p>Final Note: Duke got an increase in apps since the class of 2009, so perhaps your chances would be harder as a 2010 or 2011 applicant. I would say AT with EVERYTHING in your favor and taking into account 1. increased apps 2. athletes 3. amazing E.C.'s from other apps in ur position 4. 2400/2400 SAT scoreres with ur rank 5. legacy status from applicants in your situation I would give you 5-10% (AT BEST).</p>
<p>Wow....I didn't think I had such bad shots at schools.</p>
<p>Well these are Ivies and Top 10 Schools. They are the top (more than 1%) of schools in the U.S. </p>
<p>Harvard for example, could fill its incoming class five times over with the same kind of applicants and even 4.0's 2400s if it wanted.</p>
<p>I would try for some of your lower-reaches instead such as Middlebury and perhaps some more matches.</p>
<p>What are some more matches then?</p>
<p>There are perhaps a hundred colleges that could be your matches. What are you interested in? Major? Size? Etc?</p>
