<p>Dartmouth- Good shot
Duke- Good shot
Amherst- Very good shot
Williams- Very good shot
Penn- reach (it is with everyone though)
UF- not familiar
Cornell- same as Penn</p>

<p>Thanks, and for the record, UF is University of Florida.</p>

6

<p>If you can get your scores to at least the median (Dartmouth=730CR, 740M) at all but UF you'll be in the running, get them to the 75th percentile you will be a good candidate. Don't know UF.</p>

7

<p>Dartmouth- mid reach
Duke- low reach
Amherst- low reach
Williams- high match
Penn- mid reach
UF- no idea honestly- don’t know the school
Cornell- low reach</p>

<p>This may be the craziest thread ever with all believing Penn is harder to get into than dartmouth. It isn’t. And Amherst and Williams matches for a student with a 650 CR? Simply untrue.</p>

<p>OP, I think you need to substantially raise your CR score and also raise math for avshot at these schools other than UF. Good luck!</p>

<p>

Bumping up a thread over two years old for the express purpose of promoting one’s own chances thread is probably the most annoying thing one can do. </p>

<p>Learn to read dates before posting…that also goes for the other posters who responded after the bump. I say this not only out of vexation but also as a warning; repeatedly bumping old threads, especially for advertising for another thread, is an offense for which posters can be banned.</p>

<p>As for the OP’s actual chances, most of them were/are reaches except UF. The record is very good but not exceptional, so the usual admit rate could’ve been expected – 10-15% at best.</p>
