2

<p>american, new, bryn, davidson, denison id say in.
georgetown, w&m (if out-state) and vandy are reach but not super.</p>

3

<p>I'd reccomend you don't send in your SATII Latin score.</p>

<p>What above poster said.</p>

<p>And cornell: match</p>

4

<p>That SAT: II only went to American and Georgetown.</p>

<p>Will it hurt my chances at American?</p>

5

<p>reading your stats, i expected to scroll down to another list of princetons and stanfords like everybody else has. you know better than i do, but you may have even undersold yourself. I would say Cornell, G'town, Vanderbilt, and W&M are matches, everything else match/safeties.</p>

6

<p>cornell-slight reach</p>

7

<p>i'd disagree.. march was the hardest for me, by far.</p>

8

<p>Ummm...I say Reach at GTown and Cornell. Although, you are a "poster-child" for GTown, that's what could end up hurting. Cornell likes valedictorians, though. You have a better chance at whichever app you spent the most time on.</p>

<p>NCF and Cornell are polar opposites in many respects,what attracted you to both?</p>

9

<p>I thought that if you sent one SAT II, you sent them all (no score choice).</p>

<p>I think you're a strong candidate for all your schools, plus you provide geograhic diversity.</p>

10

<p>But:</p>

<p>April is the cruellest month.</p>

11

<p>But not for you I hope! :)</p>

12

<p>Ah, I hope not too! :).</p>

13

<p>Any other opinions?</p>

14

<p>i agree with madeinusa. i expected to see "HYP" on ur list as well.</p>

15

<p>I say all are pretty good matches</p>

16

<p>thanks y'all!</p>

17

<p>I think you're in good shape and will have many options. Don't fret over the Latin score too much - it looks like you had a bad day. </p>

<p>Try do a activity or two with your family during the long wait 'till april. They will be missing you next year - and it helps to pass the time.</p>

<p>The last week of March is about the worst. If you try hard, you can talk yourself into being happy now, though. Best of luck!</p>

18

<p>what's the matter? no good universities in kentucky? your geography will help you and you probably will get into cornell. georgetown is really hot right now so i would be a little less confident there, the others on your list are layups.</p>
