<p>What are my chances at:
HYP, Columbia (letter of rec from Columbia doctor), Johns Hopkins, NYU, BC, Brown, Cornell, BU, Dartmouth, and Duke</p>

<p>Got accepted to Penn State so I can dream</p>

2

<p>Cornell and Columbia look like matches. HYP may be a stretch.</p>

3

<p>I think HYP are almost always stretches. Cornell and Columbia stretchymatch. Johns Hopkins, NYU, Duke match.</p>

4

<p>Your ACTs are excellent, but I've seen a lot of people with scores like those get rejected. I don't know whether colleges prefer SATs or not, but are you considering January to up your SAT a bit?</p>

5

<p>thanks for the help, any other advice would be greatly appreciated. Also what about Brown, Dartmouth, BU, and BC?</p>

6

<p>no im not taking any SATs in Jan. I'm done with tests</p>

7

<p>damn son another Indian football player, you should've gotten recruited, what position are you?</p>

8

<p>middle linebacker man, wut position u play?</p>

9

<p>nice
offensive lineman/long snapper hopefully will do it at cornell :)</p>

10

<p>HYP: Reach
Columbia: Slight Reach/Match
Johns Hopkins: Match
NYU: Match
BC: Match
Brown: Slight Reach/Match
Cornell: Match
BU: Match
Dartmouth: Slight Reach/Match
Duke: Match</p>

<p>I'd be surprised if you didn't get into at least one in the Columbia/Brown/Dartmouth category. Good luck!</p>

<p>bbbbuuummmppp</p>

12

<p>I think everyone here is being a little optimistic. You say that Duke is a match? It's a hard school to get into, regardless of scores. MJ, how are your other ECs and Essays?</p>

13

<p>yea i used the common app and chose to do a decasyllabic poem written in the style of Canterbury Tales. It took forever but tell talks about everything important to me in Geoffrey Chaucer's style. I could also just place any college's name in the essay.
Heres how it starts:
With the Oxford Cleric, a young man came,
A student, Blank Blank his name.
Applying to Duke with nerves of jello,
He hoped to be a future class fellow.</p>

14

<p>hey, pretty creative! Good work. How about your other ECs besides sports?</p>

15

<p>well i tutor 4 hours a week in bio and 6 hours a week in spanish. I talked about my tutoring in my poem. It was hard being involved in many clubs since football's offseason never ended with weighting lifting everyday after school and practices twice a week from 5:30am to 6:50am before school.</p>

16

<p>Lack of clubs might be a problem, but I bet you could play football for Duke!</p>

17

<p>I tutored only during the offseason and summer</p>

18

<p>i just gotta ask man
how much u bench? supposedly ur the only other indian football player i know</p>

19

<p>lol...only 250lbs during the season....275lbs now...but i do only weigh 180...hopin to hit 300 before senior years over</p>

20

<p>nice, nice</p>

<p>well thats good for a OLB, we lineman are just totally different sometimes</p>
