<p>Your credentials fit all of the above schools. Very impressive.
Make sure you make your essays absolutely perfect and make yourself stand out, because if you have great essays with those stats and ECs, it would be tough for even yale to deny you.</p>
<p>^yeah I think so. I doubt that everyone at Yale is an Intel Finalist. Your EC’s are nice and ACT is fine (a little higher would be ideal, say a 35 or 36). Anyway, good I’d say in at ND and NU. Match for Duke and WashU. And reaches for Yale and UPenn (depends on the school though; Wharton is the toughest, nursing esaiest) Can u chance me also??? Thanks.</p>
<p>superscored my act is 35 but im taking it again later this month… i really dont care about the act anymore though. im perfectly happy with a 34. if i get rejected from a school bc of a 34 then i dont think its the kind of place id want to be at.</p>
<p>haha. yeah my intention was to not give away where i lived. clearly ive done that with brookfield zoo. but im not gonna respond to that bc putting my location out to the world sort of creeps me out.</p>
<p>Well, you definitely have a good chance at all of these schools. Of course, Yale is a reach for anyone, but I think you have a pretty good shot even there. An UW + W GPA would help too, but your class rank pretty much says it all. What are you looking to study? Also, how did you get involved at the Brookfield Zoo?</p>
<p>neuroscience/cognitive science. and there is a program there. you just have to apply. a few essays/interviews. i didnt particularly enjoy it though. probably the only volunteering that i didnt love. i stuck out the summer but needless to say i will not be reapplying.</p>
<p>W GPA is like 5.09 or something like that out of 5.3; a 5.3 would indicate straight a+ but even if you got straight A+ you couldnt get 5.3 bc of gym which is out of 4.0 so it weighs you down. unweighted… 4.0 im guessing?</p>
