Is Early admission going to be exceptionally tough this year? My chances?

<p>congressional gold medal
lot n lot of comm hours

Don't know my class ranking</p>

<p>Out of all these Ivies, Can you tell me where I have better chances than others, specially for Early?</p>

2

<p>Best chances: Cornell, Penn (but not Wharton), maybe Brown
Worst chances: all the others, but especially Harvard, Yale, and Princeton</p>

3

<p>Thanx Calcruzer. What do you think I am missing from my profile?</p>

<p>Can anyone else comment please?</p>

4

<p>BUMP!!!
Can anyone else reply please? I am looking for more validations</p>

5

<p>ivies are not everything. schools like duke and jhu (premed) are better than some ivies in some programs</p>

6

<p>I was under the impression some of the ivies got rid of early action?</p>

7

<p>if you’re applying early, i believe yale is the only one that takes early action. the rest are either early decision (you could only apply to 1) or regular decision (not early…)</p>

8

<p>You have a decent shot at Dartmouth, Brown, and possibly Cornell.</p>

<p>Columbia is always tough, and Yale, Harvard, and Princeton are reaches for you.</p>

<p>Harvard does not offer early. Yale offers restricted early, and Princeton and Columbia have early decision. I do not know about the other three.</p>

9

<p>Princeton followed Harvard’s lead and abandoned early application.</p>

<p>Thanks to all of you who encouraged me.
I have co-authored a research paper with my professors, soon to be published. If that adds any value to the process?</p>

<p>Yes, Yale and Stanford have restricted Early action. I was wondering if I have any chnaces for any of them. I have visited both. stanford I visited 3 yrs back when I vsiisted my aunt in CA. they both look magnifient to me. they are like picture postcards!!</p>

<p>I’m also considering JHU Umich Uwash and Rutgers.</p>

<p>You’re biggest weakness is the SAT. You need to upgrade your academic profile to be truly competitive at the Ivies.</p>

<p>Look beyond the Ivies. Look at ‘new Ivies’. Check out LAC’s. Visit a few schools from each of the three categories I mentioned above.</p>

<p>THEN draw up a list.</p>
