<p>I will be applying to Dartmouth, Duke, UCLA, and Emory as complete reach schools. I was just wondering how possible is it to get in these schools? I know I have posted at least 3 of these chances posts, but i just want to know if anyone knows of someone who got in with stats as crappy as these...</p>

<p>Sorry I don't think any of these will come through...get a 2200 and Emory might be a reach ED.</p>

3

<p>yeah...thing is i cant apply early cuz i really want west point</p>

4

<p>I don't think you stand much of a chance at those schools</p>

5

<p>Your academics and ECs are lacking. If you're a minority and have killer essays you could, possibly, maybe, get in, but I would try to aim at some more realistic schools.</p>

<p>Of course, don't listen to what we say. College admissions is difficult to gauge. People with scores like yours and lower have gotten in, but you have to realize that they were anomalies.</p>

6

<p>Are the acceptance %'s deceiving? Cuz I mean something like 40% are accepted at Emory...yeah thats not very high but still its a large number</p>
