There's more awards and stuff, but that's pretty much the basics....</p>
<p>I know that Ivys are a total crap shoot and I don't have perfect scores, but let me know what my chances are of making at least one of these schools.</p>
<p>Nice eagle scout, I heard colleges get a hard on for that award specifically.
I’d say definitely in Dartmouth, Brown, Upenn, and good chances at Columbia.</p>
<p>Gotta disagree with the above poster. Although you have an outstanding resume and will be COMPETITIVE (key word) at any school you apply to, you will be just that: competitive. Many people with similar resumes will be applying to the same schools. That being said, you’re right the Ivies are a total crapshoot so I believe you have a chance at some of them. Obviously a better chance at some (Really good shot at Cornell, Decent at Brown, Somewhat at Dartmouth) and less at others (Okay at Penn, Average at Columbia, below average at Harvard, Yale, and Princeton.) Best of luck!</p>
<p>Seriously pursue your passions and dig deep. I had a dinner with a Columbia Admissions officer the other day, and he told me that these days scores and gpa are just used as cutoffs. The real deciding factor is your essays and subjectives. Try researching at a local university, publishing books, etc. idk…</p>

<p>Other 4 schools really low chance."</p>
<p>Not even close!</p>
<p>Cornell: Low Reach or decent chances
Penn: Low Reach
Brown, Dartmouth: Medium Reach
Columbia, H, Y, P: High Reach</p>
