<p>Your activities are incredible. May I ask your rationale for applying to these colleges? Are you looking for a specific program? Competition could vary depending on what program you’re applying to. (Though overall you look like a very strong applicant to me)</p>

3

<p>im looking to major in biology and move into medical school… no specific program</p>

4

<p>sat on low side for ivies. fine for others</p>

5

<p>you sat scores are fine. the rest of your application more than makes up for what is anyway a very competitive SAT score. Besides - its your 2200 in one sitting</p>

6

<p>& if your a junior - im sure you can crack atleast around 2350 by the time you apply to college</p>

7

<p>bump…</p>

8

<p>Ivies will be tough.</p>

9

<p>Bump…</p>

<p>How can you be a NMF as a junior?</p>

11

<p>I’m projecting</p>

<p>Of course you’ll get into Auburn. Vandy is a match. UVA, Rice, and WashU are match, maybe a tiny reach. The others are all reaches, but I think you have a good shot at getting into at least one of them.</p>

13

<p>You’re looking solid. You really have a good chance at all of your schools, but certain schools are more unpredictable than others (these tend to be the ones that get the most applications). </p>

<p>WUSTL - good chance, but unpredictable
Brown - good chance
Rice - good chance
Columbia - good chance
UPenn - good chance, but unpredictable
Yale - same as UPenn
Dartmouth - good chance
UVA (out of state) - great chance
Amherst - great chance
Williams - great chance
Vanderbilt - in
Auburn (in state) - in </p>

<p>Keep up the awesome work, dude.</p>

<p>WUSTL - good chance, but try to improve your GPA for even better chance
Brown - good chance

Columbia - good chance
UPenn - good chance, but don’t know what they’re looking for; improve your GPA
Yale - same as UPenn
Dartmouth - good chance
UVA (out of state) - In!
Amherst - a very good chance
Williams - a very good chance

Auburn (in state) - In</p>
