two siblings and father went to Harvard, mom went to Boston College If it matters a lot.

No financial Aid needed for top schools. But can I get full ride at stern and BC?

  1. you should probably list your weighted gpa
  2. your awards and ecs and test scores are definitely good for all your schools except harvard standford maybe brown
  3. u have a much better than average chance to get into harvard/standford nontheless
  4. i am kind of concerned that you said you are "willing to major in finance/econ" - what do you WANT to major in? please do not major in finance just so you can make a lot of money in the future :P

  1. why? it's high 4 or low 5 i guess. We only have unweighted gpa, and that's what matters right?.
  2. I meant "willing" because I don't know If I'm going to get in or not. and for the last sentence, thanks for the advice, but you don't have to worry about it.

Except for Harvard and Stanford ( and to lesser degree, Brown), you should get into the rest!

6

I would say that Harvard and Stanford are unpredictable, but still have a good shot at both- same for Brown but to a higher degree. The rest should definitely admit you

Wow! Great competition, the only thing that would be questionable whould be your E.C.'s. There will be others out there with same stats and very few even better. Apply to some safeties, but don’t be worried, if you don’t get in, it is only because of the admissions officer’s emotional state at the time. Maybe explain more on what you took from Yale, and what are you majoring?

OH, yea nevermind, they are matches(all) but as far as chances(60/40) because above. But econ isn’t as hard as others, but is a popular one these days.

@persia5 why did you suddenly say it’s a match??

10

UC’s are $55K per year to OOS students.
