NYU
UChicago
Williams
Vassar
Swathmore
John Hopkins
Washington U in St. Louis
Amherst</p>

<p>If you can get that SAT to around 2250+ or your ACT to 34+, HYP and MIT will be more realistic.</p>

3

<p>I know I can get it that high. I got the SAT Blue Book and took every test in it and the lowest I got was a 2280, the highest a 2370. When I orginally took it in 9th grade, I took it cold. I am taking the SAT in March and May this year.</p>

<p>Awards, SATs and GPA seem really good - def on par/above for HYPSM.
However, your ECs are great, but seem quite normal and more like a passion for getting into an IVY than a true passion for an interest. That’s probably the only drawback.
I would say:</p>

<p>HYP (I think I have a little chance) - high reach
MIT - high reach
Dartmouth - high reach
Columbia - high reach
UPenn - reach / high reach for Wharton
Cornell - reach
Brown - reach
NYU - match
UChicago - in
Williams - match/reach
Washington U in St. Louis - match
Amherst - match/reach</p>

<p>Good luck anyway!</p>

<p>Please chance back! :slight_smile: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1062868-chance-swede-wharton-harvard-yale-etc.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1062868-chance-swede-wharton-harvard-yale-etc.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>So you are applying to every schools at in Ivies and the top of USNews LAC ranks. Pro</p>

<p>You don’t have a hook unless you are a pro Tennis player so probably in at a few, but not a sure bet at any.</p>

6

<p>I am not applying to all of these schools. This is just my preliminary list of colleges I am considering. When it comes time to apply, I am probably going to apply to half of these schools.</p>
