<p>Once again, the Ivies go by rank. Do you know where you rank in your class and how large your graduating class is? Also, you need at least three SAT IIs for Columbia University--so how do you expect to do on the third one? </p>
<p>Based upon what you posted so far, I have to make lots of guesses. Presuming you are at 5.15/5.6, that 's a 92% score, or about a 3.65 GPA U/W and a rank of about 50/400. Obviously, you could be a lot higher since you are taking all APs and honors courses and if everybody else is also, then you are maybe 40/400 rank and therefore at the 90% level in your class ranking. I'm going to use these last numbers for my chances estimates.</p>
<p>Presuming you get your SAT I scores up to 1980 (not 2000), and that your final SAT is quite a bit better than the lowest one you have so far (Math IIC of 650--so I'll presume you get a 700 on the last one), your AI score is still only 200. Since the cutoff for the Ivies last year was around 211, you have less than a 30% chance of getting in at Columbia University. </p>
<p>Amherst is also a reach since the average SATs there are 722/721 with a 3.85 GPA U/W. At Vassar you have a slightly better chance since the average GPA is 3.8 U/W with SATs of 698/670--but most people will not have taken as many honors courses as you. I'd say match to slight reach.</p>
<p>Renssalaer I'd say match, although the GPA is slightly low, the SATs are above average--and like I said, the honors courses are immense. NYU should be a match, but the school you are applying for (theatre arts) is one of the toughest along with the Stern Business School. If you are good with your dancing--or not applying for this program (you mentioned dentistry), then you chances are much better. So I'd say match to slight reach for theatre arts, match for college of arts and sciences. Fordham is a safety. The GPA is way above their average as are the SAT scores.</p>
<p>Lastly, Stony Brook--safety to safe match.</p>
<p>Also, if my estimate on GPA and rank is off--then repost and I'll redo the chances. Also, post the SAT I and SAT II scores if I'm way off on my estimates--and I'll redo the chances then also.</p>
<p>Good luck to you.</p>
