<p>I think you have a good chance of getting in almost everywhere. The Ivies might be iffy, but they always are, so don’t worry too much. I think you’ll be fine. Good luck.</p>

<p>Chance me back?

<p>Your subject test scores are abysmal relative to the caliber of the top schools on your list. Your extracurriculars don’t jump out in any way, shape, or form. If you wrote some kick-butt essays, you’ll have some good results come decisions time. If not, you won’t.</p>

<p>Stanford - high reach
Penn - high reach
Columbia - high reach
Duke - low reach
Vanderbilt - low reach
WashU - low reach
Case Western - low reach
Carnegie Mellon - low reach
University of California, Berkeley (contacted by admissions to send additional information) - reach
Boston University - in</p>

<p>Thanks for your input keasbey nights. I understand my subject test scores are not where they need to be. I’m praying that my essays, recs, and 800 M will help me out a little. Also, I have family at Columbia and WashU, so I’m hoping that will help as well. </p>

<p>Thanks again!</p>
