<p>These are all highly selective schools, with Cornell being the easiest to get into. I think Cornell is restrictive too. Do you have backups?</p>

3

<p>Cornell is not restrictive. My backup’s are berkeley and NYU. And a few in Turkey.</p>

4

<p>Oh wait, i meant binding. sorry, my bad</p>

<p>Regardless, you look pretty good, it’s just a matter of luck going in your favor at this point.</p>

<p>Thanks, I can chance you if you post a link.</p>

<p>btw I have written a book for kids.</p>

7

<p>Bump?!?!?!</p>

<p>Wow! You have amazing test scores and great extracurriculars. I think you definitely have a pretty good chance at being accepted. I think Cornell is a match, the rest are reaches, just like they are for most applicants. I’m also applying early to Yale, you can check out my stats here: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1569722-chance-me-yale-scea-pretty-please.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1569722-chance-me-yale-scea-pretty-please.html&lt;/a&gt; . Good luck!</p>

<p>Yale: Reach
Harvard: Reach
MIT: Reach
Dartmouth: Low Reach
Chicago: Reach
Cornell: High match</p>

<p>I really do suggest having some legitimate backups because NYU and Berkeley aren’t necessarily backups for anyone. If those schools in Turkey are, then by all means ignore what I have said haha.</p>

<p>[Please</a> Chance Me!](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1569454-please-chance-me-will-chance-back.html]Please”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1569454-please-chance-me-will-chance-back.html)</p>

<p>I did chance you back. Thank you for the answer.</p>

14

<p>You have great extracurriculars and an SAT score. As I’m sure you know what hurts is your GPA ( a little low) and the fact that you are international. All these schools seem reasonable for you to get into but places like MIT/Harvard/Yale are reaches for everyone. Good luck!</p>

<p>I chanced you back. Thanks for the answer!</p>

16

<p>Anyone else?</p>

17

<p>First, You can see my Subjects on the post, second, I did not write something about AP Geometry. Read carefully before you screw up my post.</p>

18

<p>Anyone who actually HAS an idea instead of questioning my guts?</p>

19

<p>You’re highly qualified for every single one of those schools. Your test scores and ECs are fantastic. However, thousands of highly qualified applicants (who are just as good as you) are rejected from the Ivies every year. It really is a crapshoot. Hopefully you’ll win the lottery and get in, but don’t count in it.</p>
