Ivy Leagues and Others-What are my chances?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>What are my chances of getting into the following schools?</p>

<p>Early Action: University of Virginia, University of Notre Dame, University of Michigan, Miami University (Ohio) (Hoping for Honors Program), and Georgetown University
Regular Action: Yale University, Dartmouth College, Cornell University, and Washington University in St. Louis</p>

<p>I have already been accepted to: Miami University Bridges Program, and Tulane University Honors Program w/ $30,000/year in merit aid</p>

<p>My stats:</p>

<p>Academics:
ACT: 32
SAT Subjects (I am only sending these to UVA and Georgetown, and I'm retaking them in time for Cornell and Dartmouth): Literature-700 Math 2-630
GPA: W-4.2 UW-4.0
Class Rank: 12/480
AP's: AP Calc AB (4), AP Lang and Comp (4), AP Psych (4), AP Calc BC, AP Lit and Comp, AP European History, and AP Physics (my school only has 11 AP's and you can only take them junior/senior year)
Courseload: Most rigorous possible throughout high school, minus an AP Science as a junior (took an honors one instead)</p>

<p>Extra Curriculars:
Varsity Swim- Captain senior year, swam all four years, all-conference medal, Varsity Letter all four years
DECA- Executive board senior year, in club sophomore-senior year, district champion soph-junior year and state champion/international qualifier junior year
French Club- president, in club all four years
Yearbook- Photography editor senior year, in club junior-senior year, sending my photography as an art supplement to schools that allow
Optimist Club- community service club, in club all four years
Link Crew- Helps freshman adjust to high school, in club only years available which is junior-senior year
Community Service Hours- 90+ throughout high school
Work experience- Assistant at dad's law firm (Summer 2011), Hostess at Big Boy (May 2012-Jan 2013), Promoted to waitress at Big Boy (Feb 2013-May 2013)
(Did not work this summer or fall due to swim season, getting job when swim ends)</p>

<p>Supplementals:
Interview- I've only had it for Georgetown but it went really well, the interviewer and I connected and she seemed to like me
Essays- Writing is my strong suit and I have been working on them since they were released. They should be one of the stronger parts of my application
Art Supplement- I have chosen photos that I have received awards for, since I have attended both yearbook and photography workshops and camps
Recs- Amazing, and from my french teacher of 2 years (also french club advisor) and AP Calculus teacher of 2 years
Notre Dame- I am a third gen. legacy</p>

<p>Strengths- GPA, courseload, extra curriculars and leaderships roles
Weaknesses- ACT is decent, SAT subjects (I am retaking for reg. decision schools but have to send them in for early action), class rank could be higher but is still top 3%</p>

<p>Thank you so much for helping me see my odds. I know it is tough but your opinions are very highly regarded and appreciated! Ps- please be honest :)</p>

<p>Your stats and ECs are really good. You will probably get into Notre Dame. In the case of the public universities you are applying to, being out of state really hurts you.

<p>EA G’Town: Reach (they’re pretty brutal in their EA round and your testing scores are just a tad off, but I think you are still competitive.
EA UMich: High match
Rest EA: Match - low match</p>

<p>RD Round: All of these schools are reaches for you. Provided you can increase your SAT II scores, Cornell and WashU could become low reaches. Best of luck :)</p>

4

<p>EA: Gtown is a reach for everyone, ND id say high match, and the rest are matches
RD: all reaches because theyre all really hard to get into</p>

<p>you have a great GPA and solid EC’s just get those SAt II’s up a little bit
best of luck!</p>

<p>UVA- high match/ low reach (instate/OOS)
Notre Dame- low reach (A bit harder to get into the Gtown)
UMich- high match/ low reach (instate/OOS)
Miami- low match
Georgetown- low reach
Yale- reach
Dartmouth- low reach/ reach
Cornell- low reach/ reach
WUSTL- reach</p>

<p>Just to add, I am from Michigan so I have a way better shot at UofM than I do UVA. I also forgot to mention my Bible Club and Youth group on my E.C’s, there are not leadership positions for students but I do attend twice a week and this will especially help me for Georgetown/ND. Thanks to all who replied :)</p>

7

<p>I think you are a high match for all of the universities listed</p>

8

<p>All of your EA’s seem to be solid matches honestly, regardless of your residency. Your entire resume is fantastic so I wouldn’t be overly concerned over them. Your RD’s are also seemingly solid, besides George Washington, however your EC’s and GPA more than make up for the slightly lacking ACT composite. All in all, you seem pretty set ;)</p>

<p>Why would OP need subject tests if he has taken ACT+writing?</p>

10

<p>Your Ec’s are stellar your gpa is stellar and I think your ACT is fairly good as well. I think UVA Is definitely a match instate and high match OOS and same for UMich. Notre is probabaly a match.The rest are probably reaches except for Miami which I would argue is a safety.</p>

<p>Competitive applicant… Only thing that (could) hold you back is you ACT score</p>
