My One and Only Chance thread. Need advice. Will Chance Back. Penn ED/HYP/etc

<p>UPenn Ed: Match (Last year ~25% of ED applicants were accepted. You stand a pretty good chance)
UChicago EA: Reach/Low Reach
Columbia University: Reach
Harvard/Yale/Princeton: Reach
Northwestern (Legacy): Match/High Match
Cornell: High Match/Low Reach
Duke: High Match/Low Reach
Brown: Low Reach
WashU in St. Louis: Match</p>

<p>University of Illinois Champaign: Safety
University of Illinois Chicago: Safety</p>

<p>The only reason I put down reach for HYP, Columbia, and other Ivies is b/c of their selectivity. But you are a competitive candidate for all the universities you listed.</p>

<p>Also, I don’t think your ECs are pathetic at all. Like a previous poster said, building wells in African villages won’t increase your chances at Harvard. Just work hard on the common app and supplements and enjoy senior year! Good luck in the college admissions process.</p>
