<p>Your GPA and rank are going to kill you. Maryland and Emory will probably accept you, Tufts is a match school, and Penn is low reach while Columbia is high reach. I’ve never heard of American University (sorry ;_; )</p>

3

<p>Tufts is not a match school – it should also be a reach. American and Maryland should be sort-of matches and Columbia and Penn…I’m not sure if it’s worth paying the application fees. Emory is a reach as well.</p>

<p>kinda low GPA, low SAT’s…
strong leadership extra-currics, but that won’t be enough</p>

<p>i would say high reach at penn and columbia, reach at tufts and emory, match at most others. i would say apply early to tufts, if they have an option.</p>

<p>chance me back please… <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/572875-ivies-ucs.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/572875-ivies-ucs.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I’M SO EXCITED</p>

<p>WELCOME TO THE DARK SIDE</p>

<p>Anyways, I think your passions are really unique and you are SOOO involved in everything that schools will definitely be able to tell how genuine you are, and how into the stuff you do!! I’m sure you’ll have some great options. :smiley: Best of luck! </p>

<p>ALSO THERE ARE 334 PEOPLE IN OUR CLASS OMG I THOUGHT IT WAS 333 OMG</p>

<p>OMG DON’T GIVE YOUR SOUL TO THIS SITE I SWEAR IT’LL HURT YOU</p>

<p>GOD I’M SO EXCITED TO SEE THIS THREAD</p>

<p>ALSO TALK ABOUT YOUR INTERNSHIP WHEN YOU GET PLACED PL0X (I’m assuming you still aren’t lawl)</p>

<p>THAT’LL LOOK REALLY GOOD</p>

<p>ALSO OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG hi!!!</p>

<p>Also, it’s really been bugging my conscience what I said about Math IIC at lunch the other day.</p>

<p>I was just being paranoid and fishing for reassurance; you know I didn’t mean it. I was being absolutely ridiculous. </p>

<p>Why am I telling you this on a public forum?</p>

<p>Also, what was the third subject test? Spanish? Prob. wasn’t worse than my French. ;]</p>
