<p>Hi. I just recently got these really good SAT scores kind of out of nowhere so I'm looking at all these schools that I wasn't really looking at before and I haven't really researched the process that much so I'm not really sure of what my chances are so I'm hoping you all can help! Anyways so the ivies I'm applying to are Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Penn, Brown, and Columbia. Do I have a good chance of getting into any? half? all (joke)?</p>

<p>SAT: 800 CR, 780 M, 750 W (single sitting)
SAT II: 760 US History, 720 Math II, waiting for Spanish grade
Rank: 2/330
Junior AP's: US History (5), Stat (5), Lang and Comp (5)</p>

<p>Senior AP's: Econ, BC Calc, Modern European History, Spanish, I'm taking honors english and not taking any science :/ (but I took honors Physics, Chem, and Bio)</p>

<p>Extracurriculars: Captain Mock Trial, Captain Debate, Concert-mistress Orchestra, Captain Quiz Bowl Team, Job at Deli during school year, Job as administrative assistant over summer</p>

<p>Awards: National Merit Semifinalist, Governor's Award Semifinalist, Brown Book Award, Silver Award on National Spanish Exam Level 4</p>

<p>Recs: Fabulous
Essays: Pretty good
Interviews: I interview really well, I'm really normal (meaning non socially awkward) and outgoing and such.</p>

<p>Demographic/Race: Rich Connecticut, white female</p>

<p>So what do you think? Are the SAT II's okay? Thanks so much.</p>

<p>Yes, the SAT IIs are OK, assuming the third test score is in the 700+ range. Your ECs might be seen as rather average considering the opportunites available based on your demographics. Often the adcoms look for State, Regional, or National level accomplishments. Any legacy hooks?</p>

3

<p>ya well we were mock trial state champions and i have a lawyer award from that, i have state debating awards too, i am western region in violin (that just means western ct). does that help?</p>

<p>no legacy hooks</p>

4

<p>Yeah SATs are great but I think your ECs are not too “outstanding” . Are you submitting a violin supplement? b/c i think that would help you :)</p>

5

<p>im not i dont have time to make one, i hear they don’t help all that much but who really knows</p>

<p>This belongs in the chances thread, so that raises a question mark doesn’t it?</p>
