<p>Stats:
Female, Biology Major
Competitive public high school, sends about 15 students per year to ivies.</p>
<p>SAT I: 750 M, 760 CR, 800 W (2310)
SAT II: Math II: 800, Biology E: 800, Lit: 760
GPA: 3.98
Rank: 8/490 (Top 5%)
Location: PA</p>
<p>E.C.s: President of a club, member of a few others. 150ish volunteer hours.
--> E.C.s are a definite weak pt...wondering how much this will hurt my chances
Essays: Very Good<br>
Recs: Haven't seen</p>
<p>School list:
Georgetown
University of Rochester
Brandeis
Emory
Cornell
Stanford (ha to the ha ha)
UPenn (more lol...maybe in my dreams...)</p>
<p>Thanks!!</p>
<p>I do not trust myself with chances, so can I suggest something instead? For your extra curricular activities, just play up the few you were exceptionally active in or was the President of in interviews, if you get the chance. </p>
<p>At any rate, I am confident that U of Rochester & Brandeis are matches – at least UR is.</p>
<p>/useless post</p>
<p>Georgetown - low reach
University of Rochester - IN
Brandeis - IN
Emory - IN
Cornell - IN
Stanford (ha to the ha ha) - high reach
UPenn (more lol…maybe in my dreams…) - reach</p>
<p>thanks for chancing mojeniabo & kwaldner!
looking for more opinions…bump</p>
<p>I’d say the EC’s will hurt you the most at Stanford, because they are quite nit-picky with a touch of unfounded egotism. I would like to disagree with kwaldner and say IN at Georgetown from past experience with my sister. I would also downgrade Stanford to reach, as it is a shot in the dark for every qualified applicant (which you certainly are). UPenn is more likely than Stanford, if only because Stanford has an insane superiority complex.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
