<p>You’re very competitive for those schools. No one can give you a more accurate assessment than that, let alone chance you differently for each school on that list.</p>

3

<p>Quite competitive in all schools, but still reaches in all.</p>

<p>Any safety/match schools?</p>

4

<p>That list is very top heavy. Acceptance rates at those schools is about 10%. 90% do not get accepted. Your chances of being accepted are the same as every other extremely well qualified applicant’s chances…slim.</p>

5

<p>Bump</p>

6

<p>There is nothing else to say. You have a shot at any of them, but nothing seems to stand out in your resume compared to probably 10,000-15,000 other applicants that are at least as qualified for the 1500-2000 slots at any of these schools. Make sure you have matches and safeties you can be happy at in case you get shut out at all these, which is quite possible. It is also quite possible you will get into one or two.</p>

7

<p>I don’t think many (if any) of those schools superscore the ACT. Regardless, you do have a shot at these schools, but you’re not an exceptionally unique applicant. These schools are reaches for you, just as they would be for anyone. Do you have any safeties or matches on your list? If not, make sure that you do!</p>

8

<p>As others have said, they won’t throw out your application, but those schools aren’t a match for anybody.
With that said is your weighted gpa out of 5? if so it’s a tad bit low but still acceptable…
chance me back?

<p>Why just Ivies? Chicago and Northwestern have better econ departments than some of the schools on your list.</p>

<p>@sally305‌ Yes, I am applying at Northwestern. As well as Vanderbilt and Duke. </p>

<p>@paul2752‌ I have safety schools of Unviersity of Georgia and Georgia Tech</p>

11

<p>Then, Good luck.
BTW, safety=100% you can get AND no money problem…just reminding ya…</p>

12

<p>Should we assume you took bio and chem and more history? </p>

<p>to be honest, i don’t think you have any standout EC’s. its good that you show passion for business with deca and fbla, but others applying to the same schools will have actually placed at icdc/be president of their chapters, etc. (not saying that qualifying isn’t good-it is great but just maybe not enough)</p>

<p>i encourage you to apply to all of these schools as you seem within their range, but find something that is really unique about YOU that not a lot of other people will have. if you think that is deca, then by all means go for it. but just keep in mind that they will be looking at students who have received 15+ awards </p>
