Do I have a shot?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I'm really lost regarding what schools I actually have a shot of getting into.. also, I have no idea what a "safety" school is, percentage wise. I'd love to go to Brown, but don't know if that's completely delusional. Can anyone help?</p>

<p>I'm an international student (live in Venezuela)
I'm an IB candidate. I take four higher level classes and have all a's except for a b+ in chem)
I do tons of extra curriculars (NHS, editor of newspaper, president of largest service club, MUN, etc)
I got a 2160 on my may SAT but think I can improve it if I study (math 680, w 710, rc 770)</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>The best things to do are to try and get the math score up into the 700s (for the top schools like Brown), and to keep your grades up. As for finding schools:</p>

<p>A safety school is one that you have a statistically good chance of getting into. You know that you have a good chance because your scores put you in the top 25% of the incoming class (or above the mid 50% range). These colleges typically have acceptance rates above 30%.</p>

<p>You can find information on these score ranges on the college board web site. Use the ranges provided per college (or do a search based on your scores) and you should be able to come up with a list of safeties, matches, and reaches.</p>

<p>On a side note, I find this quite ironic. Sorry, I know it’s just a typo. :)</p>

<p>probably the “almost Ivies” like Northwestern, Duke, Emory, Vanderbilt, Amherst, or Hamilton would be good matches for you, those are great stats and i hope you get in!!</p>

<p>HOPE THIS HELPS

<p>It seems like you should have a solid shot at Brown, but it’s tough to tell w/o knowing ur exact GPA. Do you happen to know your exact GPA?</p>

<p>Chance me back. </p>
