<p>It would be helpful to know what state you're from, what income level and whether you go to a strong high school or not.</p>

<p>And it's Dartmouth College.</p>

3

<p>I live in IL and I do go to a high school that has a very strong academic program. One to two people get into Princeton a year.</p>

4

<p>Being from out of state will work against you with UVA. Princeton and Dartmouth are crap shoots for anyone. You stand excellent chances with American and Syracuse.</p>

<p>Hey! I play cricket too! Who's your favorite Int. Team?</p>

<p>Well for the chancing:
American University [in]
Syracuse University [in]
Princeton University [reach]
Dartmouth University [slight in/reach]
University of Virginia [low reach]</p>

<p>Hey I play cricket too. Nice to see someone from from America who plays it. As far as your chances go, well not to sound discouraging or anything but princeton and dartmouth are incredibly tough to get into and your SAT scores are kinda low. Virginia is a longshot too. You're in at American University and have a fair chance at Syracuse though so good luck with them.</p>

<p>"
Dartmouth University [slight in/reach]"</p>

<p>Umm no. His stats are way out of Dartmouth territory, that's def a high reach IMO. Even as a URM. Princeton too.</p>

9

<p>It is so funny, because African-Americans that acutally go to these schools say that I have a good chance of getting into all of them. I wonder what will actually happen.</p>

<p>American University: match
Syracuse University: match
Princeton University: high reach
Dartmouth University: high reach
University of Virginia: high match</p>

<p>Your ethnicity helps and your EC's look great, but your SAT scores are just a little lower than average for the competitive schools like Darmouth and Princeton.</p>

<p>Please chance me back, too! :)

<p>American University-in
Syracuse University-in
Princeton University-out
Dartmouth University-out
University of Virginia-toss up</p>

<p>I think that being a urm always helps, but even with the standard "100 point boost", you're GPA is a bit low, as are your SATs. From what I can tell, they would still be out of the median ranges for your top choices. Your ec's seem like a "list"- have you had any leadership, distinction? Unless you had a killer essay/background/excuse... these are the results I predict. Just my 2 cents.</p>
