<p>Chance me please, Thank you</p>

<p>Are you good enough to be recruited for soccer? Your grades are awesome and 6 APs tell me they are rigorous. How deep is your volunteer work? And I have no idea about the Brown Summer Camp so can't comment on that. </p>

<p>I'm fairly new to all this American colleges and kids doing 'stuff' since Grades 6and 7 for college (not suggesting you have, its just CC has lots of kids who were encouraged to play the college game from their parents) but from what I've seen of CC I'd say Dartmouth, UPenn and Yale are reaches but your SATs good and hopefully you can excel in the interviews and essays. Can't say anything about the other universities as I don't know them well enough. </p>

<p>Talk to your soccer coaches at college for sure. I'd say even your reaches are good possibilites.</p>

<p>I'm new to this chancing thing...but have read an awful lot on CC and elsewhere (maybe too much according to my daughter...an upcoming HS sophomore). I also went through all of this more than 20 years ago...</p>

<p>But, since you asked....</p>

<p>Overall I think your application is very good...weak on ECs...and your CR score is a bit low (relatively...).</p>

<p>Yale: reach (but it is sketchy for almost all applicants....)
Dartmouth: low reach
Emory: match
UPenn: my alma mater...probable match...they like athletes...and have a fairly large class to fill.
Wash U: match</p>

<p>I still may would one or two definite safeties.</p>

<p>SAT's are good and GPA is good, but for these top schools, ECs are pretty important. You have a pretty good chance with just your academic stats, but I don't think you EC's help you much, unless your good enough at soccer to get recruited. School level awards aren't worth much at all, and in all honesty, the leadership conference is a completely unprestigious program, because it selects based on those who can pay. I've gotten like 7 acceptance letters this year alone.</p>

<p>are you sure you added up your SAT I scores properly?
680+800+800=2280 not 2270</p>

<p>good academics, and you do have sports. A lack of awards and EC's, though, do not make you a very good candidate for Yale and Upenn. The other schools are good reaches.</p>

<p>good chances...but you might want to consider retaking in order to raise that 680 in CR.</p>

<p>Also, nominations for summer programs don't really matter for anything. Did you attend any?</p>

<p>I think you'd fit in well at and get into Emory and Dartmouth, perhaps UPenn. Keeps your fingers crossed for Yale and make sure you really express interest in WashU if you want to get in, you probably can if you do. Your GPA should take you places if nobody else in your class shares that.</p>

<p>Chances, assuming you are a white male from CT:</p>

<p>Yale - High Reach
Dartmouth - Reach
Penn - Low Reach (they seem to like jock-types)
WashU - Match
Emory - Match</p>

<p>Yale: High Reach
Dartmouth- Reach
Penn- Slight Reach/ Reach
WashU- Slight Reach
Emory- Match</p>

<p>I would also recommend Duke, Northwestern, and Stanford- all of which have similarities to the schools you chose.</p>
