<p>PS- I was rejected by NYU Stern ED - guidance counselor called and spoke with my app reader and she said I was extremely qualified but there were just too many applicants for ED this year...</p>

<p>Dude that sucks about Stern. I'd cry :'(
No joke I don't even want to go anywhere else.</p>

<p>I don't know about Harvard or Wharton, but everything else probably in the bag. Solid application.</p>

3

<p>I think you have a good chance for all of the schools however your grades might hurt you just because this year is very strange and tough.</p>

<p>Chance Me!!!</p>

4

<p>I think you're into American, BU and McGill definitely. Probably GWU also. Georgetown and Carnegie Mellon are on the higher end of the match category but I think you'll get in. The rest are probably reaches, but they are for a majority of the world. I think you've got a pretty good chance at them. </p>

<p>Basically I think you'll probably be in everywhere, except maybe UPenn, Brown and Harvard, but I wouldn't be surprised if you got into those.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

5

<p>Your ECs arent extraordinary, so I dont think you'd have much of a chance at Harvard, Brown, Penn, and Georgetown</p>

6

<p>Thanks everyone ... Keep the chances coming :)</p>

<p>(1) Carnegie Mellon- you never really know
(2) Georgetown (Walsh SFS)- good match
(3) UPenn (Wharton)- you REALLY never know..
(4) George Washington University- in
(5) Brown- up in the air
(6) Boston University- in
(7) Harvard- you REALLY never know..
(8) McGill- good match
(9) American University- in</p>

<p>youre basically in for everything but the ivies.. and with those, you never really know what will happen. chance me back!!</p>

8

<p>i would agree in saying that u r probably a match with almost everything except for the ivys. but you never really know- it's all about statistics and so colleges tend to have a strange way of selecting. u might get in to one</p>

9

<p>For Harvard and Brown you never really know but for all the others I'd say your probably in. If it helps two of my friends got into GW and all of them had lower GPAs,Testscores, and probably ECs than you did.</p>

10

<p>Should be in at GWU, American and BU. Best of luck!</p>

11

<p>Bumpersssssss</p>

12

<p>Wow that really sucks.. in our school, someone with a 1700 SAT and in the bottom half of the class got into Stern ED. No hooks, not an URM or legacy... And I honestly think you are much more qualified...</p>
