<p>got a 2300 on SAT’s as an update. Chances now?</p>

<p>You have a very good chance. But just in the off-chance you don’t get in, what are your safeties? Georgetown, Tufts, UPenn are hard to get into. I would think of some fallback options.

<p>I think that your research experience really lets you stand out of the crowd. Your GPA is pretty high as well and you seem to have shown a lot of interest and experience at the school.</p>

<p>I think you have a pretty good chance of getting in.</p>

12

<p>youll get into Barnard, if you want all girls schools check out Wellesley</p>

13

<p>ehh, Barnard’s the only all girls one I would consider. I might put one or two more Ivies on the list, just for the heck of it,probably Brown? Not that I have a chance, but yea.</p>

<p>bump. 10 char</p>

<p>bump again.</p>
