<p>Bump again.</p>
<p>I see you getting into Georgetown :)</p>
<p>Thanks. I know the other two are huge reaches, but I'll attempt anyway. Maybe due to my bi-cultural life I will have some sort of a unique thing.</p>
<p>Anyone else?</p>
<p>Brown is close to being a match, but Yale's a crapshoot. All dependent on your test scores. =)</p>
<p>Well, I'd better do well on those tests then...Thank you. :)
That's actually very encouraging because Brown is one of my reaches, and Yale is, well, Yale.</p>
<p>I think that if you take your SAT and score a 700+ in both reading and math you may have a shot at getting in to the school. I only know a few people who have gone to ivies but I do know multiple people who have gotten into northwestern. It's a reach but it is do-able for you.</p>
<p>Thanks. :)</p>
<p>bump........</p>
<p>Anyone? Please?</p>
<p>Bump...........</p>
<p>Again......</p>
<p>take the SAT anyway. i doubt that class really improves your score 4 points, esp. if you already have a 30. plus, unless you can read pretty fast, the ACT science test is murder and usually brings down composite scores. I got a 32 with subscores of 35,35,33, and a 24 on science. there are no sections that hard, at least for me, on the SAT. I'm a junior too, so i don't really know that much about your chances, but thought I might could give you some testing advice.</p>
<p>Well, I will see how I do and then decide. I mean if I do well enough, I don't want to jeopardize my chances by taking the SAT, but if not, I will take it. Well, I doubted it too, that's why I set a 32 to 34 range. Yeah, the science section is a killer. On the first practice one I got a 33 in English, a 29 in math, 31 (I think) in reading, and a 26 in science. I only got one wrong out of the ones I did, but didn't even attempt 8 of them. It was horrible. Thanks for the advice!:)</p>
<p>take the ACT if youre better at it and dont take the SAT 1. that way you can spend all your energy on the ACT.</p>
<p>as for your chances, gtown likely. brown maybe, yale reach.</p>
<p>We are required to take the ACT at my school, so no choice there.
Thanks!:)</p>
<p>There is no NJ Catholic school on the list of schools with highest matriculation to ivies, so I'm not sure you're school is as insanely competitive as you think. Everyone who applies gets into Princeton? Are they all staff kids? I went to a school near the top of the matric list and that was not the case at any ivy.</p>
<p>I agree, wait until you have real scores before you make your list.</p>
<p>This year so far out of 40 girls in the graduating class (Catholic all-girls school) about 10 have gotten into Ivies or similar (2 to Yale, 2 to Penn, 1 to Cornell, 1 to Dartmouth, 1 to Georgetown, 1 to Williams, 1 to Johns Hopkins, and some more that I forget). I would say that 1/4th of the class getting into highly selective colleges just early decision, not counting regular, is pretty impressive.
No, everyone who applies to take a class there as a senior. We are allowed to take classes at the university if we are qualified as seniors.</p>
<p>Sounds like your school is having a great year. If you liv near Princeton, chances are your school is highly affluent and probably has a lot of ivy legacies. Still doesn't put it on the list of schools ivies consider most competitive and thus judge differently.</p>
<p>do you lie interest in cornell at all? Its got "some" prestige but reiquires much less out of you =)</p>
