<p>i think you have a good shot at all these schools, and if you’re applying ED to bowdoin that would increase your chances. your scores and numbers are great, but what makes you passionate? i suggest adding a little fire to your essay, since your resume looks like you’ve only ever done what great, good students do, which is to say you’re highly accomplished, but nothing sticks out as different. so be personal in your personal statement and i’m sure you’ll be successful.</p>

<p>Wow, your stats are pretty similar to mine.</p>

<p>UConn - In
Bowdoin (Top Choice) - high match
Cornell - high match/low reach
Tufts - high match (make sure you broadcast that you want to go to Tufts, and that it isn’t just a saftey)
Georgetown (Close Second) - low reach
NYU - high match
BU - low match
Columbia - reach
Brown - reach</p>

<p>im not too familiar with bowdoin, but you have a good chance at georgetown, more than 65% and the others are matches too, columbia is a stretch, but you still have a reasonable chance of acceptance, enough to apply anyway </p>

<p>chance me back at <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/801012-chance-me-i-will-chance-back-2.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/801012-chance-me-i-will-chance-back-2.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Thanks caltennis and morganmkm. I chanced you back</p>

<p>your stats look really great! I think Bowdoin should definitely be target/match, with Gerogetown a little bit more difficult to get into but no more than a low reach.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
