How do you like my chances at these schools?

Applying to College
1

<p>Caucasian male from Mississippi
32 ACT
3.5 GPA/3.8 (w)
top 15% of class
Taken every honors/AP class my school offers
Extracurriculars: Marching/concert band, cross country, track and field
600+ hours of community service
2 part time jobs</p>

<p>The main thing that concerns me is my GPA/class rank. I'm applying to several very good schools, and I'm hopeful I'll get into at least one. Please chance me at each(1-10 scale) and explain. I'm open to new suggestions for schools too! Please tell me anything that may be helpful, and thanks in advance. Here's my list:
Matches: Vanderbilt(ED), Emory, Tulane, Wake Forest, Rice
Reaches: Columbia, Duke, John Hopkins</p>

<p>Columbia, Duke, John Hopkins - Sorry no.
You have pretty good chances at Vanderbilt(ED), Emory, Tulane, and Wake Forest.
idk about rice</p>

3

<p>disregard the 1-10 scale. Tell me what my reaches and matches are</p>

4

<p>An ex boyfriend of mine got into Duke with very similar stats. I’d say that while it is a reach (it is for most people), good essays and LOR could give you a shot at getting in.</p>

5

<p>I wouldnt count hopkins and duke out, although they are reaches. I think columbia is slightly more difficult than those two. However, you are definitely competitive for vanderbilt and wake forest, though rice is also somewhat of a reach.</p>

Thanks for chancing me; I’m unsure about vandy (and the south in particular). New England and Chicago seem so awesome!</p>
