<p>" Very Very good private boarding school in New England. One of the most prestigious in the Country"</p>

<p>This will help you a lot.
Is your school feeder school to Brown?</p>

10

<p>It’s technically not a “feeder” into any school, but it does send large amounts of kids to Ivy League schools every year. 27% to Ivys alone every year.</p>

11

<p>Your HS will help you a lot.
(My HS sent about 40% to top 20 colleges two years ago.)</p>

12

<p>If you are attending a prestigious boarding school that sends more than a quarter of its graduates to Ivies every year, why are you asking complete strangers about your chances?</p>

<p>Ask your GC! He will have far more insight than any of us could ever hope to have (and will be far more accurate about your chances as well).</p>

<p>bump…</p>

14

<p>Bump… Any more advice would be helpful</p>

15

<p>High school will help a lot.
Aim for high class rank (though they won’t tell you, they will still give one to universities. Make sure you’re in top 10%)</p>

<p>For academics, you’re quite good, but there is still room for improvement:</p>

<p>For SAT, aim for 2300+ if you can, it will look good.
For SAT II, aim for 800.
Bump your GPA a bit higher
Workload is nice.</p>

<p>Your ECs are generic:</p>

<p>Try doing something unique, preferably related to the major you intend to pursue.
Try doing more for other areas as well, if you have the time, for example, do more community service?</p>

<p>Your school would help you a lot. If your school is a feeder school (some of them rather not publicize this fact), you stand a good chance as long as you’re one of the top students.</p>

<p>Legacy helps, but not too much.</p>

<p>Decent chance for all schools, but your SAT may pull you down a bit.</p>

<p>Brown: Reach
Cornell: Lowish Reach
Others should be match~low reach.</p>
