<p>good teacher recs (only read one which was fantastic, I think the others were good though), I think my interview went pretty well though it was short, my essay was reallllllly good I think (wrote about personal growth and stressed my interest in the arts)</p>
<p>Do I have a shot? I’m also applying to NYU, Tufts, BU, Cornell, Georgetown, Yale (w/ legacy if that helps at all hah)</p>
<p>Brown is 50/50, and your chances are slightly lower at Yale. You're probably in at your other schools, with Tufts, Georgetown and Cornell being high matches and BU & NYU as your safeties.</p>
<p>You are most definately wrong about being "probably in" anywhere this year. Colleges - partifcularly the ones this applicant is applying to - are swamped with a record breaking number of applications. Students are taking a phishing approach to applications - often applying to 10, 15 20 or more hoping that one of the "hot" schools will accept them.</p>
<p>Despite record breaking numbers of applications, the available freshmen class openings remain stable. This means that overall acceptance rates are going down a few percentage points for these schools.</p>
<p>This poster is a credible applicant. He or she is not one of those applicants who won't make it past the first cut. But again, these stats and ECs are identical to hundreds of others received by these schools. </p>
<p>The question - hopefully addressed in the essay - is what makes you stand out? How are you different? What will you add to the diversity of students on the school campus? (In this resppect the student's legacy status will most definately be noticed).</p>
<p>No one - not even with a 2400 on the SATs and a dozen AP courses is asured admission. </p>
<p>That said - best of luck with your own journey!</p>
<p>i have no idea what my nonweighted GPA is i'm guessing with the 3.8/4.0 because I get all a's not straight 100s though, but weighted my GPA is 4.868 my school is weird</p>
