Another unique thing is that Brown,Penn,Duke,UNC,Georgetown, tufts and a few others try and get 8-12 students from my school.
Like a kid from my school got into tufts with a 3.3. My school is very well known and many top schools want students from here.</p>

<p>ECS are 3 Varsity sports
4 years of V SOCCER
3 YEARS OF V BASEBALL AND TRACK
4 Years of Duke bioscience and engineering camp.
4 years of duke young writers camp
Super camp at brown and Stanford
And service trips to Laos
Awards are still pending. But I've gotten all conference in track.
All 5s and 4s in my Aps
I self studied macro out of interest</p>

<p>My biggest strengths are test scores,URM, and how my school has a partnership with most if the schools I'm applying to, like we are the only chain that has partnerships with them and they try and enroll 8-12 from my chain of schools</p>

<p>So what are my chances?</p>

<p>Well, your GPA is lower than what is typical of Ivies, but with your school being prestigious, and your SAT, you have a chance. I’d put them as high reach schools.</p>

<p>The rest should be low reach
You got Tufts and Carnegie Mellon in the bag</p>

<p>amyjw123: I would not identically characterize acceptance difficulty for all the Ivies. Specifically, undergraduate admission to Duke is somewhat more competitive than the lowest third of the Ivies, is essentially identical to the Ivies’ middle tier, and is marginally easier than the Ivies’ top third. Therefore, Duke certainly is not a “low reach,” as you indicated.</p>
