<p>What are my chances for Northeastern, Columbia, Brown, or Duke?</p>
<p>SAT: 2200 / 800CR 720W 680M
SAT II: 750 Bio E / 720 Lit
GPA: 3.9 UW, 4.6 W
AP: 5 US Hist / 5 Bio
Rank: 5th W / 2nd UW</p>
<p>By the time I graduate, I'll have completed 5 AP and 15 honors courses. Extracurriculars tend toward creative things instead of sports (primarily writing and art), but I've also been involved with service clubs.</p>
<p>I have an interview with Columbia next week.</p>
<p>Yes for Northeastern and most likely a yes for Duke?</p>
<p>Brown not so much and Columbia no. I think your home state should be listed and elaborate on your EC more to get a better idea though.</p>
<p>Not enough informations to chance any except northeastern. Your rank is out of? Explain more on EC? Ethnicity? Essays?</p>
<p>Thanks, guys... Sorry for being vague. Some clarification:</p>
<p>I live in NC, dunno if that increases my Duke standing or not-- I've heard both.</p>
<p>Rank is out of 160. Public high school. Limited AP selection (6 offered total-- Chem's the only one I haven't taken), independent study not feasible.</p>
<p>EC: I've had some stuff in local galleries, local papers, etc. I've also written a novel and numerous short stories (but who hasn't). I've received various art and writing awards, including a couple silver keys from Scholastic.</p>
<p>Club-wise, I've started one that went down in flames (spun this a bit in my applications), and I've helped out significantly with others but have held no official positions (mentioned this briefly, but didn't go into great detail). NHS, Humane Society, Quiz Bowl, etc.</p>
<p>I'm a white female. My parents immigrated here just before I was born, so I'm fairly well-traveled and know another language (German). I can also read Latin.</p>
<p>Essays are solid, recs are superior.</p>
<p>I'm already in at UNC and Tulane, if that helps any. But trust me, I know my chances for Brown and Columbia (and Duke!) aren't great... Just curious as to how bad they really are. :)</p>
<p>Thanks again.</p>
