<p>bump? please, I would really appreciate some input!</p>

<p>Your SAT is slightly low for some of those unis (not considering average only, but also how many with your score get in) - but your GPA is great, and some of your ECs are amazing (show leadership and commitment).</p>

<p>Applying to:
brown low/mid reach
vanderbilt - low reach
dartmouth - low/mid reach
duke - mid reach
johns hopkins - low/mid reach
idk the other!</p>

<p>Please chance back! :slight_smile: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1062868-chance-swede-wharton-harvard-yale-etc.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1062868-chance-swede-wharton-harvard-yale-etc.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I don’t know much, but you’ve got near perfect stats so you should be fine, especially amherst, I’m sure you will get in there! And I think being first generation helps a lot, or so I have heard!</p>

5

<p>in at vandy, congrats you’re a commodore!! :)</p>

6

<p>I think you have a strong chance at all but the 2 ivies, Duke and Amherst. For those I think rank and below median scores hurts. BU should be a sure thing.</p>

7

<p>Great stats.</p>

<p>brown - low reach
vanderbilt - low reach
dartmouth - low reach
emory - high match
duke - low reach
johns hopkins - low reach
BU - match
BC - match
tufts - high match
amherst - match</p>

BU:yes

10

<p>Amherst is quite a bit more selective than Duke and JHU, so take the above advice with caution.</p>

11

<p>I’m guessing tennuggler must be from NC. Duke more selective than dartmouth and Amherst and on par with Brown?.</p>

12

<p>Brown - low reach
Vanderbilt - match
Dartmouth - reach
Emory - high match
Duke - low reach
Johns hopkins-
BU- match probably
BC- match
Tufts- high match
Amherst- reach</p>

<p>With a little luck you will get into all of them. :slight_smile: Good luck and thanks for the chance.</p>

13

<p>Honestly from my perspective you have a reasonable shot at getting into all of these schools. Your grades and EC’s are all on point. The only thing you’ll need is a little luck since this schools have a very low acceptance rate but you’ll be fine.
Good luck !</p>

14

<p>brown: Best of luck-it’s tough for anyone but you look good
vanderbilt: I’d say in
dartmouth: low reach
emory: low reach
duke: low reach
johns hopkins: low reach
BU: In
BC: In
tufts: low reach
amherst: reach</p>

<p>First generation will help!</p>

<p>Please chance back!

duke - reach but decent chance
johns hopkins - low reach
BU - in
BC - in
tufts - good chance
amherst - good chance</p>

<p>i think the tv and black belt are really awesome and unique things about you that will definitely stand out on your apps. and by the way- the first generation thing DOES matter, it can really help you out when they’re comparing applications that they’ve narrowed down to.</p>

17

<p>YOu are getting some incorrect advice here, especially regarding Amherst. It is a very big reach.</p>

18

<p>I’ve noticed… your take on the situation then?</p>

19

<p>I’m sad to say that smart girls with good grades and good but not great SATs from the Northeast are not in short supply.They are an over-represented majority. Sorry.
I think you will get in to Vandy, Emory, and BC. I’m sure you’ll get in to BU. (But you are already in at Brandeis, so…) Tufts is weird- IDK.
Duke, JHU, doubtful. Brown, Dartmouth and Amherst, even more doubtful.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Agreed.</p>

<p>brown (i was deferred ED)- Rejected
vanderbilt (my second choice)- Low Reach
dartmouth- Reach
emory- Low Reach/High Match…I think this may be your best shot
duke- Reach
johns hopkins- Low Reach/Reach
BU- Safety
BC-Match
tufts- Match
amherst- High Reach (most likely rejection)</p>
