<p>Considering these statistics, which colleges should I apply to?
I'm thinking Columbia, NYU, etc. ?</p>
<p>You have a shot at all of the Ivy’s but, of course, there’s always a chance of a person with awesome grades to get rejected. There is no such thing as a safe school for an Ivy League, but as long as you write an amazing essay, you have a decent chance for columbia. You most likely will get in NYU. </p>
<p>Thank you for your time SCam1st.
I’m Indian and most Indians take the KVPY and IMO stuff.
I do not like it and my interest lies in public speaking, etc.
So does not being a core ‘science-guy’ but instead a speaker, thinker and writer hurt my chances?</p>
<p>some help here, guys?</p>
<p>No, the fact that you’re not gunning for the sciences definitely will not hurt you. Colleges accept a wide variety of students, who excel in some disciplines and don’t do quite as well in others. </p>
<p>Instead of asking us which colleges you should apply to, try doing a bit of research first; College Confidential’s Super Match is a great tool for getting started. Once you have an idea of what kinds of schools you like, we can chance you :)</p>
<p>Okay, so I used that app and did a bit of research.</p>
<p>So I have it narrowed down to the Ivies, particularly Columbia and Princeton, MIT, UCB, UMich and UChic.
Now, anybody, chance me for economics? </p>
<p>137 viewsss.
CHANCE ME GUYS?</p>
<p>Can you give us more info? Things such as SAT II, APs, and personal background are all considered in the app. By the way, the chance of you getting into a major depends on how popular that major is in the school. For example, in UCB, it may be hard getting into the engineering department, but if you choose things like Asian Studies, it’s easier to get in. That is unless the school is like Rice which doesn’t differentiate acceptance from intended majors (other than music and architecture). I’m not too familiar with all those schools, you have to kinda search them up yourself.</p>
