^^ those are basically the more “reach” ones.. the other schools I am applying to I basically know I could get in with my scores // extra-curriculars</p>

<p>Please rank what you think of each of those schools!</p>

2

<p>Columbia = Medium Reach
Princeton = High Reach
NYU = match
Cornell = Medium Reach
Stanford = High Reach
Brown = Medium Reach</p>

<p>Don’t know about others…</p>

3

<p>it’s hard to tell without your class rank and other awards. you definitely need to increase your SAT score to be competitive though.</p>

4

<p>my high school does not rank
and yes – i definately think my SAT scores increased after last taking them.</p>

5

<p>awards/honors:
national merit recognized / commended merit winner
honor roll
french honor society</p>

6

<p>Columbia University-nope
Princeton University-nope
New York University-yes
Cornell University-slight chance
Brown University-nope
Stanford University-nope</p>

7

<p>I think you will be able to get into all of those with the exception of Stanford and the Ivies. I would suggest that you decide upon one of those schools that you listed that is a slight reach, and then apply ED and see what happens. Best of luck!</p>

8

<p>I don’t think I’m gonna apply ED to any… I don’t want to be tied in.</p>

9

<p>bump… what do you think??
i’ll chance back!</p>

10

<p>bump please!!!</p>

11

<p>NYU is probably the only school on that list that will accept you…IF you are black…then cornell and brown might accept you…because of that stupid affirm action law…reversed racism…</p>

12

<p>If SAT is 2100+ you have a chance at all of them (with Princeton and Stanford being the highest reaches still)</p>

13

<p>well pretty much all of your schools that you listed are reaches for you, but they are for everyone. NYU and Brandeis though I believe you have a pretty good shot at getting into especially if you increase your SAT score and I bet you will since your ACT score is pretty high. Are you considering any other schools that are ranked high but not ivies such as Hopkins, Georgetown and Washington University in St.Louis?</p>
