New safeties to be added?

Applying to College
1

<p>I just got rejected ED from my top choice (UPenn Wharton), which has really got me worried. I know Wharton has some cutthroat competition but I'm starting to wonder how my chances are at all the other ivys and reaches I applied to. Here is the list of schools I already have applied to:
Big reaches:Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Dartmouth, Columbia
Reach (more reasonable): UChicago (EA), Cornell-ILR, NYU-Stern, CMU-Tepper, WashU
Low-reach/safety: UofRochester, SUNY Geneseo, SUNY Binghamton</p>

<p>-After getting rejected from Wharton, I'm worried about my other colleges. UofR and the SUNYs are great schools, but there is a big gap between them and my mid-reach schools. </p>

<p>Should I add more realistic lower reach schools to my list now, like:
Emory, Vanderbilt, UVA
or (based on my stats) do you think I'll get into some of my mid range schools?</p>

<p>stats: GPA: 94.4 uw SAT I: cr.m.w: 710/770/800 SATII: mathii/bio/us: 760/730/730
ACT:33 (not sending)
APs: current-Gov, Calc BC, Lit, Spanish
past-US (5), Bio (5), Lang (5), Euro (5), Micro/Macro (4)
ECs: Regional DECA President+International Finalist, Varsity Tennis Captain, Mock Trial Captain, Model UN Chair/Officer, Interned at U.S. Senator's Office
Awards: NMSF (229), AP Scholar w/Distinction, Williams College Book Award, Natinoal Spanish Exam Silver Medalist...
extra notes: I'm Asian (Indian), an NYS resident</p>

<p>sorry for the length of the post....I'm just worried that my view about my chances was not right.</p>

<p>Your reaches are all just that, reaches. You should get into all your third tier choices. If you don’t really want to attend any of them why did you apply? If you really won’t attend them then try for Emory. I think Vandy and UVA would also be in the midreach category.</p>

<p>I guess I should rephrase…I’d be fine with going to any of my 3 safety schools, but I thought my stats would allow me to go to a better school. There’s just a big jump from like Cornell to a SUNY, and I feel like my stats should be able to get me into a college within this gap. </p>

<p>Thanks for the advice.</p>

<p>As a NY resident, I think you have a good shot at Cornell ILR.</p>

<p>If you have time and energy, you might be right to insert some additonal match/lower reach schools. In my view, there is a gap between Univ of Rochester and the two SUNYs. So to put a few more schools in there, such as the ones suggested, you might have more choices come April.</p>
