<p>You’re definetly in UAlabama no doubt…</p>

<p>I think you have a shot at any school (besides the top Ivies, everyone has a chance to get rejected) b/c you have good ecs, and it looks like you’ll have good recommendations. write a good essay to those schools and you should get in…</p>

<p>I think you have an amazing shot at all of these schools.</p>

<p>Pomona- as hard as it is to get in, I think you have a better shot of getting in than not getting in
Pitzer- in
Scripps-I’d say in (high safety/LOW LOW match)
Smith- in
Union- which one? I know a couple of schools named Union (in KY, NY, TN and NE)
UAlabama- in</p>

<p>Wow! You have amazing stats! I managed my way into 2 ivy schools last year and you BLEW me away, by far, ha!</p>

4

<p>^^wow, thanks for the encouragement,</p>

<p>I meant Union in NY…sorry for the confusion. I always forget there are a few</p>

5

<p>I think you may want to add a few schools which are still very good but more of a match. Right now you only have one real reach (pomona), while the others you are almost guaranteed admission. In my opinion feel free to apply to more reach schools (unless you’re really satisfied with attending any of the schools on your list already).</p>

6

<p>You’ve got all these sewn up, with UA as a safety the rest all being matches, Pomona is the only one thats a bit of a reach but if I were a gambler I’d put my money on you getting in.</p>

7

<p>Agreed. You should be able to get in to all of these schools. Good luck!</p>

8

<p>Great chances at all. SHOOT HIGHER!</p>

9

<p>Smith is the only one I’m familiar with and I’d say your chances are wonderful</p>

10

<p>bumppppppppp</p>

11

<p>The only school I know is Pomona and from what I can tell, you definitely have a great chance there. I’d say low to mid reach. Good luck!

12

<p>the only school i am familiar is UAlabama
judging by ur GPA u are a definite match to UAlabama</p>

<p>Please chance me: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/752461-any-shot-usc-ucla-will-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/752461-any-shot-usc-ucla-will-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

13

<p>Honestly I think you are competitive at any school. Your stellar test scores and GPA are topped off with fantasic leadership positions in a ton of ECs. Obviously Pomona is a crapshoot, but I’d say it’s more of a match for you than a reach. And I’d be shocked if you were anything less than accepted at any of the other schools.

<p>I agree that you can get rid of SOME of the safeties and replace them with matches/low reaches. You are an AMAZING applicant and you will have a good shot anywhere. At the Union in Schenectady, you are IN IN IN. It’s a great school though. Very pretty… but a little too preppy for me. Just curious, why Union? It’s geographically very separate from your other schools, and different in many other ways? Do you have a parent who went or something, or do you just enjoy the school?</p>

15

<p>^^My uncle went to union, so my mom basically grew up on the campus. Plus my gram is like BFFs with a former President and Dean, so i grew up knowing i’d at least have to apply.</p>

<p>Plus, I like the location</p>

16

<p>Errr, where is Claremont McKenna on the list? ;)</p>

<p>Seriously though, the ECs + grades/scores would probably get you in to CMC, but it’s not a safety/low match like scripps or pitzer. It’s also the best Claremont. So, in conclusion, you should send in an app to CMC!</p>

17

<p>You have some good stats. apart from the community service, your ECs dont stand out too much. is there anything you have been doing since before high school?
I think the only school you might have trouble getting into on that list is pomona. the others are either a match or in.

18

<p>I’ve been doing theatre forever…</p>

<p>i don’t do my ECs to stand out…i do them because i like them</p>

19

<p>your app looks solid on all sides. just write a good essay!
Pomona-Low reach
Pitzer-match
Scripps-match
Smith-match
Union-safety
Ualabama-safety

<p>The dumbest person I’ve ever seen at my school with a GPA of about 2.1 got into U Alabama. I’m not sure why you’d go there.</p>
