DUKE! BROWN! USC! I'll CHANCE BACK!!!!!

<p>As long as you have great test scores, I’d say you’re pretty set for all of your schools. Obviously Brown and Ivies are a little unpredictably, but you have a fair chance. Good luck :)</p>

<p>Chance me?</p>

<p>wow you are definitely on the right start! especially with your strange grading system. at most schools a 3.8 would be averaging about one B per semester. if your transcript is all A’s and A-'s then you’re totally set. don’t even worry about that number just worry about the letters. your ethnicity and language strengths will help as well. the only thing left is your standardized tests! it is nearly impossible to give a definite chance even with your scores, but they are an essential part of your application. just aim for somewhere between 2100 and 2230 and you’d be in great shape for all of those schools. :slight_smile: please chance me back! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1098326-notre-dame-chances-please.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1098326-notre-dame-chances-please.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Do you think I need more leadership positions? I am really trying to get some but there are so many talented, competative students at my school that it’s sort of tough. </p>

<p>Also- by my sr year, I will have app. 6 Aps and 5 honors. </p>

<p>AND I’m attending the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Convention at Columbia University over spring break. Do you think that will help? </p>

<p>Thank you! I really love Duke, Brown, and USC at the moment:)</p>
