<p>Hello everybody, this is my first ever post on cc! I was rejected in the ED round from Cornell University (my dream school), and now I am scrambling to apply to other colleges. I understand that chancing is by no means any definitive answer, but I would really love to have an outside opinion on my chances.
In addition to being rejected from Cornell ED, I was rejected from Notre Dame EA, deferred from UMichigan EA, and accepted to Case Western EA. I am still waiting to hear back from McGill, and UVa EA.</p>
<p>The colleges I am planning to apply to in the RD round are as follows:
Boston College, Colgate University, Johns Hopkins, William & Mary, Carnegie Mellon, Lehigh, Vanderbilt, Emory, Northwestern, and WashU St. Louis.</p>
<p>Here are my stats</p>
<p>ACT: 33 composite, 34 superscored
GPA: 3.6 unweighted, upward trend, and I do go to a school consistently ranked in the top 100 in the nation. School does not weight GPA or rank
SATII: 730 Math II, 730 Chem, 720 US history
APs: I have 4s on: Lang, US history, and Psych. I have 3s on Chem and Euro History
Senior Year course load: AP Environmental, AP Bio, AP Calc AB, AP Lit, AP Econ (Macro+Micro)
ECs: I have alot of quality extracurriculars that I have been doing for a long time and that show that I have ambition and am well rounded, ect. Also do sports and have a job
Awards: AP Scholar with Distinction
Teacher Recs: I think they were pretty good, both from teachers I have had for 2 years
Counselor Rec: I didn't see it but I'm pretty sure its good.</p>
<p>What do you guys think of my chances at the schools I plan to apply to in the RD round? I would truly appreciate any feedback, it would be most helpful. Thanks, and Happy Holidays!</p>
