<p>i would say thats a pretty good list, but nothing seems too out of reach here...</p>

3

<p>do u think i should add another school that is more of a definite reach...i was thinking of applying to an ivy just for the heck of it</p>

4

<p>^ You should, you never know.</p>

5

<p>Only apply for a school because you want to go there, not for the heck of it. You're wasting people's time when they read a half-done application done just to see if you can get in.</p>

<p>If you're happy with your list, then don't worry.</p>

6

<p>I am happy with the list...I was just wondering what you guys think my chances of admission are for the schools that i've listed</p>

7

<p>anyone else?</p>

8

<p>bump......</p>

9

<p>depending on whether or not you are applying early to any of these schools... you are definitely in Villanova, Bentley, Babson, Providence, Northeastern and American. BC are Wake are probables and Georgetown maybe a slight reach (not sure).</p>

10

<p>Yeah, your stats are solid enough to give you good chances at schools on par with UVa, Northwestern, Vandy, Duke, Rice. The only ones you really don't have a shot at are SCIM (Stanford Chicago Ivies MIT)...not because you're not smart enough (you're 6th in class for goodness sake) but because you don't have anything that jumps out (unless you're a basketball star or your book awards turn into published work, etc.)</p>

11

<p>I defintely second the idea to add a reach. Maybe Cornell.</p>

12

<p>yeah...i was definitely thinking about adding Cornell as a school to apply to regular decision..i hear their campus is really nice and they have a good business school..plus i know people from my high school that go there so that's a plus also</p>

13

<p>I would definitely add a few reaches.</p>

14

<p>i just think i don't even have a chance at georgetown..i guess i'm underestimating myself..what do you guys think are some possible reaches for me with good business programs?</p>

15

<p>bump......</p>

16

<p>upenn wharton</p>

17

<p>yeah...i think im going to apply to upenn wharton even though there's slim chance of me getting in. Anyone else w/ ideas?</p>

18
