<p>Wow your stats look really good!</p>

<p>Vanderbilt- ED = match
Emory = match
UMich— legacy = low match, borderline safety
WashU = is this wustl? or washington university? idk.
Dartmouth = low reach
Brandeis = safety
University of Miami = safety
Wisconsin = safety</p>

<p>thanks, bump?</p>

<p>not sure elbeeen. that GPA is really low, while your act is great i wouldnt consider vand, or emory matches.</p>

<p>Your interest in learning disabled children and helping them is big - colleges will definitely like to see that you are truly dedicated and successful in helping people. I’d say you have a good chance.</p>

<p>good chances @ all of them except emory, washu, and dartmouth. you have an okay chance for those. good luck!</p>

<p>“No rank, but I know I’m not even close to top 10%”</p>

<p>Your chances aren’t bad, but I’d just like to point out that at Dartmouth, 91.2% of admitted students were in the top 10% of their class, and over 90% at WUSTL (don’t have the exact percentage). Even as a URM, that is going to hurt your chances at those schools (unless students with your rank regularly are admitted to top schools; you would know better than I).</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
