<p>You have very good test scores but lack a "hook" to any of these schools. Your test scores/gpa will carry at some schools but will not get you into everywhere.</p>

<p>· Columbia: mathc/reach
· Northwestern: match/reach
· Brown: match
· Dartmouth: reach
· University of Pennsylvania: reach
· Princeton: reach
· Amherst: reach
· Duke: reach
· Cornell: match/reach</p>

<p>sorry, im a semi- finalist</p>

5

<p>semi finalist is nothing to sneeze at
thats a great hook in my opinion</p>

6

<p>National Merit semi-finalist is not a hook at Ivy Leage schools.</p>

7

<p>i meant Intel...but he is Intel Finalist, even better</p>

8

<p>Revised for intel semi-finalist status</p>

<p>Yes, you do have a hook</p>

<p>· Columbia: match
· Northwestern: match
· Brown: match
· Dartmouth: reach
· University of Pennsylvania: slight reach
· Princeton: reach for everyone
· Amherst: match (desperate for science oriented kids)
· Duke: slight reach
· Cornell: match</p>

<p>My apologies for overlooking that.</p>

<p>yeah, thank you! i got a little worried there. Yuo know, I'll be hearing anyday now. </p>

<p>Why do i have a reach for dartmouth, university of pennsyvlania, or duke. All three accpetance rates hover around the 20 percent mark, unlike brown and columbia.</p>

<p>Don't put to much stock into my answers. It's not like I'm an admissions officer.</p>
