<p>Impressive jump. I’ve actually never heard of an 800W with a 9 essay.</p>

<p>That aside, your numbers are outstanding and although your extracurriculars aren’t as proportionally impressive as the rest of your application, you will be a very competitive applicant at all of the schools on your list. Most will agree that you are qualified for HYP; it’ll just come down to how well you can humanize yourself through your essays and, to a lesser extent, the proverbial “Ivies are a crapshoot” idea.</p>

<p>Youre a competitive candidate at all of these schools; however, especially with princeton, yale, and harvard you can never really be sure. I would expect a scholarship for UVA and MD. Also, are you an eagle scout? obviously that would look very good on your resume.</p>

<p>You will be fine except at the Ivies b/c they are a reach for everyone (but you should get into at least a couple of them). Well done on the SAT! Nice improvement! Usually a perfect MC and a 9 essay will yield a 790. You got lucky! Lol.</p>

5

<p>When you reach the point that you have perfect stats…</p>

<p>I’d say you should start worshiping the admission gods. It’s in their hands now.</p>

<p>Let’s also add Muhlenberg to this list.</p>

7

<p>In at UMD & UVA
Ivies are difficult to tell
but I believe you are a match Drexel, John Hopkins, Duke at least</p>

8

<p>HYP - High Reach
Columbia - Reach
University of Pennsylvania - Low Reach
Dartmouth - Reach
Stanford - High Reach
Duke - Low Reach
Johns Hopkins - Match
University of Virginia (in state) - In
Drexel - In
University of Maryland at College Park - In</p>

<p>I’d say you’re pretty much in everywhere, good luck!</p>

<p>Your stats are flawless… I would say you are in everywhere!</p>
