<p>Um your resume is great. Stop worrying it isn’t good for you. Apply for the colleges you want, and wait for the results. Whatever happens, will happen.</p>

<p>hey your stats look like they’re in the range of those schools and you certainly look like you’ve been doing meaningful things with your time. you’re right though, nothing about your app really stands out so i’d say it’s a crapshot right now. you definitely have a chance though! care to chance me back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1603053-chance-me-anyone.html#post16813224[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1603053-chance-me-anyone.html#post16813224&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I don’t think you have anything to worry about. Schools like the ones you listed are always on the lookout to enhance their reputation, and students like you are what they look for. You seem like a very accomplished student so, good luck with everything.</p>

<p>Keep a safety school great stats. Can u chance me back</p>

12

<p>If I added Emory, would that become a safety school for me?</p>

13

<p>Amherst: Reach (it is for everyone - Amherst is currently harder to get into than some of the ivies, check stats)
BU Dental: safety
Columbia: reach
Cornell: low reach
Georgetown: high match/low reach
JHU: low reach
UPenn: reach
Vanderbilt: low reach
WUSTL: low reach
Emory: match</p>

14

<p>yeah, i know amherst is quite competitive!</p>

15

<p>Although your test scores place you in 75th percentile at Emory, I would not call Emory a safety. A safety means that you know for fact that you’ll get into the school. The acceptance rate for Emory last year was about 26%, and it’s getting more competitive year after year. I’m not saying that you don’t have a good chance of getting into Emory, I’m saying that you may want to consider other safety schools.</p>

16

<p>UW 4.0 GPA, great EC’s and test scores. The Ivies you listed are always unpredictable, but I’m confident you’ll get into the others. Being Eastern Asian will hurt you though… **** affirmative action.</p>

<p>please chance me im desperate</p>
