N</p>

<p>Colleges:
U. Chicago
Yale
Harvard
Georgetown
Hamilton
Northwestern
Northeastern
NYU</p>

<p>Yale, Harvard, U of Chic., Georgetown are all really tough and they would probably want to see more ECs. </p>

<p>but NYU and Northeastern from what i know look like good matches.</p>

3

<p>In northeastern, northwestern,
Nyu- match, as well as hamilton and chicago
rest are reaches but definitely possible</p>

<p>You have the scores for all those schools [lower end for HY though], so you’re good that way. Not having any honors/AP is a blow though. Is there any form of an “advanced class” at school, and if so, did you take it? If not, do you think your counselor checked off ‘most difficult courseload’ for you? </p>

<p>EC’s are broad but nothing seems very deep. Good, but not great. </p>

<p>U. Chicago - if you wrote great essays, you’re in.
Yale - reach
Harvard - reach
Georgetown - match/low reach
Hamilton - in
Northwestern - match/ low reach
Northeastern - match/in
NYU - match/in</p>

<p>The only “advanced” classes at my school required a test, which was taken in 8th grade. I didn’t take it, on the recommendation of my 8th grade teachers. My counselor will have most likely checked “most difficult” down and included in-depth course descriptions (The descriptions are our school’s MO)</p>

<p>What do you mean by “not too deep”?</p>

6

<p>If I were an admission officer and I looked at your profile, I can’t tell where your main interests lie. I see:</p>

<p>Social Studies
German
Computers
Economics
Student Congress
etc.</p>

<p>It’s good to have a plethora of interests, but it’s also important to stick with an activity for a while. If your essays can demonstrate your main interests and show how you pursued your goals, then you’ll be fine. If they don’t, then it’s harder. </p>

<p>Not having APs hurts, but if you’re most demanding, then you’ll be fine. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>U. Chicago - match if your essays are great =)
Yale - reach
Harvard - reach
Georgetown - high match / low reach
Hamilton - idk
Northwestern - high match / low reach
Northeastern - match
NYU - match</p>

<p>You should be in at Northeastern and Northwestern as well as NYU. No sure about georgetown and hamilton nbut HY are big reaches.</p>

<p>I’ve heard that UChicago places a huge emphasis on the essay. You have some great ECs, although they seem to be a little scattered. </p>

<p>Chance me! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/816797-rd-columbia-engineering.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/816797-rd-columbia-engineering.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>U. Chicago—in w/ stellar essay
Yale–reach
Harvard–reach
Georgetown–low/mid reach
Hamilton?
Northwestern–should get in
Northeastern–in
NYU --in</p>

10

<p>yale and harvard seem like mid to high reaches in my opinion
as someone stated lack of ap classes doesn’t help you =/
other than that you have good chances at the other schools

11

<p>U. Chicago- high match
Yale- HIGH reach
Harvard- HIGH reach
Georgetown- low reach
NYU- match</p>

<p>Your SAT scores are very nice, as is your GPA + rank, but ECs aren’t that stellar, which is what Yale and Harvard really want. Best of luck!</p>

12

<p>U. Chicago- match
Yale- reach
Harvard- reach
Georgetown-match
Hamilton-likely
Northwestern-match
Northeastern-likely
NYU-likely</p>

13

<p>You’ll definitely be accepted to NYU, Northeastern and Hamilton.
Any thoughts on George Washington?
My friend goes there now and you guys seem to have the same stats.
Although you’re way stronger in the EC department!
Good luck!</p>

14

<p>Yale, Harvard and Georgetown are reaches. Georgetown is a slight reach IMO though. You should get into Chicago</p>

15

<p>U. Chicago: reach
Yale: high reach
Harvard: high reach
Georgetown: low reach
Hamilton: in
Northwestern: low match
Northeastern: low match
NYU: low match</p>

16

<p>U. Chicago - reach
Yale - reach for anyone
Harvard - reach for anyone
Georgetown - small reach
Hamilton - don’t know enough about hamilton to say
Northwestern - somewhat of a reach
Northeastern - very much in, extreme safety
NYU - in</p>

17

<p>The GPA is strong, ACT is excellent, EC’s are very solid, but the lack of AP’s/Honors could deal you a huge blow against your other competitors; Here are my chances:</p>

<p>U. Chicago: Reasonable Reach (make sure your essays are stand-out!)
Yale: HUGE REACH
Harvard: HUGE REACH
Georgetown: Reasonable-BIG Reach
Hamilton: Match-Reach
Northwestern: Match
Northeastern: In
NYU: Safety-Match</p>

<p>All your schools are fine except Yale & Harvard, which w/ the lack of AP’s or Honors, not to mention your GPA & ACT are outside of the fold, are way too big of reaches</p>

<p>Consider: UMichigan, Colgate, Boston College, Lehigh, American, UVirginia, UTexas-Austin</p>

<p>Hope this helps!! Plz chance back!!</p>

18

<p>Harvard and Yale are high reaches for anyone, although you are qualified.</p>

<p>I would say Hamilton, NYU, Georgetown and U of Chicago are your best choices</p>
