Recently, a boy from my school was accepted into Brown through the quest bridge college match. My possibilities for the ivies are reach schools. Dartmouth:32% Brown: 32% Cornell: 38%. I don’t have any amazing activities other than the honor society. I’m a black female 27 act 3.9uw 4.6w. I have good essays and recommendations. I really want to go to Brown or Dartmouth but could the boy that was already accepted kill my already really low chances. Which one should I have a better chance applying too? And, did any of you guys get accepted into your reach schools? I’m also in the IB Program in 6th out of 153 kids
I recommend getting your ACT up if possible, perhaps taking this December test. You seem to be a strong applicant but that score might hurt your app.
The college match kind won’t kill your chances. Questbridge applicants are evaluated in a different pool. I think Brown would be better because they generally have a lower act average, but I think you need to raise your score before applying. Are you signed up for the December ACT?
