<p>Interviews:</p>

<p>Princeton - ~1 hour and 30 minutes...it was nice b/c she was studying to become patent lawyer and she was researching compulsory licensing and my gov. project was compulsory vaccinations at the time so we had A LOT to talk about. </p>

<p>Columbia - didn't get one</p>

<p>UPenn - old guy in his sixties... couldn't relate as well but FWIW, he said "I will try my best to get you in" and gave me a business card </p>

<p>Cornell - she seemed more nervous than I was. We did have a lot in common (English as favorite subject, talked a lot about reading and writing) </p>

<p>Dartmouth - I am in acapella and he was too. We talked about how college experience can be enhanced and intensified in a setting such as dartmouth. </p>

<p>Yale - ~40 minutes...it was snowing and she had a newborn baby so we had to end it early but it was a good chat. </p>

<p>~3 weeks left...and I am just getting so anxious I thought I would post a chance thread...</p>

<p>I'll chance back. Appreciate it ! :)</p>

<p>whoa marching band high five on that lol i was in marching all 4 years of high school. haha anyway princeton, upenn, cornell, yale- low reaches/high targets. Columbia probably a target, that school’s soo competitive though so it’s gonna be tough. You have really impressive stats and activities though (: idk enough about dartmouth to chance lol. good luck, i’m sure you’ll get into at least some of those schools</p>

<p>hmm…88% doesn’t seem right… </p>

<p>Also, keep in mind that my SAT score is superscored…meaning I have other sittings that weren’t as good.</p>

5

<p>What was your highest SAT in one test then? Still though dude, don’t downplay yourself those are some seriously kick ass scores.</p>

6

<p>my single highest sitting was a 2130…</p>

7

<p>Believe me, i’ve heard of worse</p>

8

<p>@ChandlerBing… yea like mine :frowning:
UPenn/Cornell/Dartmouth - Good Chance
Yale/Princeton- Not sure if your ECs are unique enough but your stats are definitely good enough</p>

9

<p>hmmm interesting. I thought my ECs were my strong point.</p>

10

<p>There’s nothing you can do. Relax, enjoy HS. Don’t kill yourself, and don’t get your expectations up. </p>

<p>Not the greatest scores or ECs. Yale, Princeton, and Penn will be tough. Columbia… maybe. Cornell and Dartmouth will be your best shots.</p>
