<p>People cannot gauge chances based on just scores. Your scores are competitive enough for those schools, but the ECs/awards you get are the determining factors for admission.</p>
<p>first of all, thanks for replying...</p>
<p>i don't have that many awards, i won magna cum laude for national latin exam, and i took the amc 12 twice, 92/96... 5th place in chem olympics for nj, and 9th place for nj math league freshman year...</p>

<p>excellent recs, average/above average essays</p>
<p>plz, someone respond... it seems more desparate that a 1460 needs help than a 1600? maybe?</p>
<p>im just wondering why you would want to go to the later portion of your list which have poor engineering programs compared to the others and are harder to get into.</p>
<p>i think you have a good shot at cornell brown columbia ucberkely</p>
<p>Look at Harvey Mudd, it's a great school and it's in CA, big plus trust me. Write good essays and get good recs and you have a decent shot at most of your schools. Columbia is more of a "HAHA" than Penn, just to let you know. And one more thing, 3.6 UW, 4.579 W, there must be some crazy grade inflation at you school, even more so than most people who post here. Good Luck.</p>
<p>well... thanks for replying... but my school does this...1 pt more for ap's and honors, and i haven't taken an unweighted course... so that explains that... i don't really want to go to ucb or california in general, and i don't know why i'm applying to the latter 3, maybe just for fun? but for columbia, not a big haha, because i'm applying seas which is much easier to get into 29%*</p>
<p>so any more opinions... and if i have this right, the general consensus is...</p>
<p>cornell ed-match/slight reach
columbia seas- match/slight reach
brown-match/slight reach
penn-match/slight reach
mit-reach
hyp-reach</p>
<p>oh and just for reference, could u guys give like % estimations? assuming ihave average/slightly above average essays and good recs? thanks*</p>
<p>Umm...you know you cant apply to Cornell ED AND Harvard EA AND MIT EA AND Yale EA....or at least its unethical to do so....and Cornell/Harvard/Yale will know about it and reject you outright...</p>
<p>thanks for replying... but u can do that*, and it'll be clear that cornell is my first choice, i guess i'm just applying to those schools for fun, just as a test... so any other opinions?</p>
<p>bump bump bump, just want a couple of opinions...</p>
<p>I think you'll definitely get into at least one of those</p>
<p>that's what i'm hopin for, i'll take anyone, but more specifically i guess i narrowed my list down, what are my chances for cornell (ed) columbia seas regular MIT ea and jhu regular?</p>
<p>bump... eh as the canadians would say... (not trying to offend canadians)</p>
<p>bump bump bump bump</p>
<p>anyone... plz?</p>
<p>At the non-technically oriented Ivies, such as Brown, Princeton, Yale, Harvard, your verbal scores and writing scores are below-par. Your extracurriculars are just fine, and do show some depth of involvement (although you want to stay away from the laundry-list image).</p>
<p>Your GPA is just fine, but I don't know how many APs you have or how tough your classes are. Again, if you aren't getting A's in several of your humanities/writing oriented classes, that will throw up a red flag for those Ivies.</p>
<p>Other than that, you have strong chances.</p>

<p>thanks for replying... * um... i forgot to mention i'm the president of chem club, and i have done science league for physics, chemistry, and this year bio... i get a mix of a's and b's in english and history, mostly a's for english... i have taken 5 ap's through this year... calc bc, physics b, chemistry, bio, stat with 5's on physics and chem... and i will take another 5 my senior year, if i have one* haha... never taken a regular class, all ap's or honors with 2 independent studies... i have 142.5 credits... 120 needed to graduate...</p>
<p>woot, with updated information, and updated opinions</p>
<p>bump... one last time hopefully</p>
<p>ouch... 18 posts and i think 15 are by me...</p>
