Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>The usual.. what are my chances at acceptance to these schools?! </p>

<p>GPA: ~ 90
SATs: 2080 =|
ACTs: 33 (power composite score = 34)
SAT Subjects: Lit-700 Math I-730 Math II-710
All honors classes, and APs all four years... elite, prestigious high school – highest ranked in my state, not even on us news report best schools list -- on the "elite" list!
suppposedly adcoms know this (?) and keep it in mind when reviewing
---ex: when columbia rep. was at my school, she said av.gpa for accepted students from my high school was B+/A-..... surprised me, but i guess it is still better to be in my h.s. with mediocre grades than regular one with 100 / 4.0 (which there are many students out there with...)
-school does not have a class rank - too competitve</p>

<p>Clubs: (involved in all for all four years, i'm a senior!)(all holding various exec. Positions)
Student Council - President
Freshman Class Council Secretary
Drama Club
French Club
Culture Club
Service Club</p>

<p>Volunteer Work:
Camp Counselor
Intern at a Museum in NYC - wrote about
Local Company
Student Ambassador
--way over 500 hours, not sure exactly how many...</p>

<p>National Merit Scholarship Commended
French Honor Society
Write for a local paper
Baby-sit/Tutor
A ton of Theatre experience - elaborated in essay
Piano/Violin
Unique family situation... + medical history, etc. (mentioned in add.info)</p>

<p>The Schools:
i have applied to other (safties / matches) and found out acceptances from all already...
these are the only ones i really care about at this point! (and the only ones i am
nervously waiting on!)
*Columbia University
*Princeton University
*New York University</p>

<p>Please rank what you think of each of those schools!
If you want a chance back, let me know!</p>

<p>ALSO: will an interview (a good or bad one!) help drastically?!
please give some feedback on what you think, also, i would like some ED students to say if they had similar stats and were admitted/rejected/waitlist/etc..</p>

<p>THANK YOU SO MUCH!! =]</p>

<p>well if what you said about your school is true
i hope you have fun during your years at columbia haha [assuming you wrote good essays]</p>

<p>princeton…hmm that might be difficult because of your subject tests</p>

<p>you are in at NYU</p>

<p>haha what do you mean about columbia??
i know princeton is a huge long shot for me, but i applied nonetheless… but i only sent ACT and Subject Tests.
NYU, in? really? wow! =]</p>

4

<p>and about the school, yeah, really tough have to apply. only <12% or so applicants accepted each year (like eighth graders applying…)
we joke it’s as selective as an ivy!</p>

5

<p>well at least in my school which is a competitive school as well, anybody with at least a 1900 has been been accepted into nyu</p>

6

<p>you definitely have a chance at all these, i would say you have a greater chance at NYU of getting in than of not. also NYU’s acceptance rate is more like 30%</p>

7

<p>phew about NYU! i really really like that school, so i hope so!
and @rastafarian : what did you mean about columbia? the allegedly super hard curriculum??</p>

8

<p>i meant that you are going to be enjoying yourself in columbia for the next 4 years [you are in]</p>

9

<p>wow, omg seriously you think so??
because i am seriously freaking out about that one since it’s my number one favorite</p>

10

<p>@rastafarian about my columbia essay… not the best i’ve written, but definately unique and very personal/individual (in that it could only be about me!)
so i suppose that’s a good thing.
and i liked their little “interest” section. showed my diverse intersts.
only wished i could have put more in the additional info. =|</p>

11

<p>i could read over it, reading college essays are fun</p>

12

<p>I also think that you have NYU in the bag. I think you have a pretty good shot at Columbia as well. Princeton on the other hand might be pushing it. But you never know. Good luck</p>

13

<p>I think your good at your schools the only reach reach is princeton. Also may i ask what high school are you talking about, because it sounds a lot like mine O_O! are you a classmate of mine???</p>

<p>Chance me back

14

<p>Princeton - Reach
Columbia - Reach
NYU - Match (assuming you’re applying to CAS)</p>

<p>ACT score looks good. ECs are good. However, SAT and GPA are a tad low for these schools but not out of the ballpark. </p>

<p>You can’t go wrong with any of your choices. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

15

<p>I’d say that you’re in for NYU as well. My stats are much lower than that and it’s on my list as a reachish.
Columbia I’d say is like a 70% chance?
And as with Princeton, you could be everything they want and they could still reject you just because they have that power (and they know that).</p>

16

<p>@walter nope… ha i saw your school on your chance list.
@nyyankees yes, CAS</p>

<p>will a good (i think) interview help any?</p>

17

<p>auto reject.</p>

18

<p>aw thanks so much for the kindness cr_freak!</p>

19

<p>NYU-In
Columbia,Princeton-Reach</p>

20

<p>Princeton - Reach
Columbia - Reach
NYU - Match/High Match</p>

<p>I really think you have a good chance at getting into the ivies though. I definitely think you are in at least to NYU. Good Luck!
