<p>Well, everything seems to be pretty good, except that for the Ivies and near-Ivies, the GPA is a little bit low when at Harvard people averaged like 3.9 in high school. However, you have a good hook by being a 1st gen student, and that will help you.</p>

<p>Harvard- Reach
Princeton- Reach
Furman- In
Chaminade University- Never heard of this place, sorry
RPI- Low match
WUSTL- High match/low reach
Vandy- High match/low reach
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign- Low match/in
University of Wisconsin-Madison- Low match/in
UMich- High match
Clemson- In
CU-Boulder- In
Ohio State-Columbus- Low match
University of Minnesota- Not too familiar, but low match?
Drury University- Never heard of this place either
UT-Austin- Kind of a reach because their top 10% rule is going to keep filling all of their spots with in-state kids, leaving very few and soon to be no spaces for OOS and internationals.
UMD-CP- Low match
UNC-CH- Low reach because of OOS</p>

<p>Chance me back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/658434-chance-me-i-will-definitely-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/658434-chance-me-i-will-definitely-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>As far as your app goes. Goood trend that your grades are steadily improving. Just being from Kentucky in the first place will help you out a lot. your class rank is pretty low considering your school is like 65 kids, but do well on your AP tests and try to improve your rank a bit. Your test scores are strong, but try to get your ACT up to 33/34 to help your ivy chances. I think your ECs are fantastic, and I really think that will help you. I would say you have a pretty slim chance of the ivy league schools (especially considering the two your interested in are two of the hardest) but I would think you could get in everywhere else. good luck! and chance me back!</p>
