<p>get your writing score up. brown would surely take you. i live & go to school near brown and i think its beautiful. im thinking of applying as well just for the heck of it.
harvard may or may not take you...... just get that writing score up and have some killer essays.
dartmouth might happen for you as well. cornell will be pretty easy to get into with your scores/GPA.
i dont know too much about your other schools, but i do know UCLA and UCB are extremely competetive but you never know, you might be what they are looking for. and i wouldnt doubt it.
so good luck... hope i helped in the least bit...</p>

<p>Hi! I'll chance you, but can you chance me too? <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/538677-please-chance-me-i-d-really-really-appreciate.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/538677-please-chance-me-i-d-really-really-appreciate.html&lt;/a> </p>

<p>Your grades are very good, and you demonstrate an upward trend. However, I really don't know if you have taken APs or Honors classes. Having a 3.8 with alot of APs sounds a lot better than a 4.0 without any. Your SAT is very good, but your Writing is a bit lower relative to your other sections. But overall you're okay. Your SAT Subjects are also very good. Your ECs and honors are pretty good, but I suggest that you don't put YouTube Partner on your app, because then college admission officers may go online and search your history (They're already doing that with Facebook). Your Dartmouth program won't hurt either.</p>

<p>Overall, you're a very good student! Keep up your hard work!</p>

<p>Chances:
Ivies: Reach, except for Cornell, which is a match
UCB: Safety match
UCLA: Safety
Claremont: Not familiar
USC: Safety </p>

<p>I suggest that you visit campus, because Ivies hate it when you apply to the school just for the name/reputation (e.g. "I want to go to Princeton because it's the #1 school in the US and it's an Ivy). Even if you can't visit, you should do some research on the school so that you know exactly why you want to go there. </p>

<p>Good luck, and remember to return the favor!</p>

<p>How does your school calculate GPA? Does your school rank? Your test scores are pretty good for Ivies at this point. Your ECs are certainly unique, and you come off as interesting, but apart from Project Green, not too much initiative has been taken, and there hasn't really been accomplishment in any particular EC. Asian male also sucks, especially if you live in NY/NJ/CT/MA.</p>

<p>HYPColPenn - Very high reaches. Your academics are competitive but won't blow anyone away, and your ECs have some positives to them but ultimately don't demonstrate too much accomplishment. It would be nice to have awards or something in one area for these places.</p>

<p>BCorD - Better chances. I'd apply to these three. Cornell is overall just less competitive, Brown will be more drawn than anyone to your ECs that are decidedly "off the beaten path", and LEAD helps at D.</p>

<p>Best of luck.</p>

<p>My school gives my grades as following:
A - 4, B - 3, etc.
Honors/AP: A - 5, B - 4, etc.
So I have taken 12 semesters of AP classes/Honors, and will finish high school with 20 semesters of AP/Honors classes (80 percent AP)</p>

<p>Ivy isn't grass, its a genus of 15 allopatric species of climbing woody evergreen plants of the family Araliaceae.</p>

7

<p>I can honestly say that I did not know that.
Thank you!</p>

8

<p>good chances at all... what's the deal with ivies anyway? I mean they're completely different schools....</p>

<p>there's harvard/yale/princeton then there's penn/columbia/cornell...</p>

<p><em>community colleges</em>
<em>dealing drugs</em></p>

<p>then there's dartmouth and brown...</p>

<p>I feel that applying to all and then taking college visits afterward to gauge my interest would be best since I don't have time for college visits now.</p>

<p>I saw you comment on another thread where you pretty much said that HYPS are all reaches for a ridiculously qualified applicant.
I know that these schools are hard to get into, but they are not reaches for every single applicant out there.<br>
Anyways, strong resumes and im sure you'll get in somewhere great too.</p>
