<p>Very rigorous course load. I think you would benefit much by stressing two or three EC’s (say, swimming, math, tutoring?) You can tie in your leadership position, outside competitions too. I have a friend who had pretty good stats, and the BEST leadership/club experience but got rejected from Yale. I think her problem is that she didn’t have a strong concentration in one single area, something that she kept doing all through high school (including summers). </p>

<p>During my junior year, I went through the same thing. It sucked. </p>

<p>Now if you don’t mind, I need some feedback on the overall impression of my EC’s. Too spread out? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/737626-chance.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/737626-chance.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Emory-match
Duke-low reach
Northwestern-high match
UF-safety (but I don’t know much about it)

Try to raise the ACT, and really rock those essays and I’m sure you’ll get into somewhere great.

25

<p>You dont need 10 classes, drop some classes and dedicate more time to your SAT/ ACT and SATII’s, they make a world of a difference.</p>

26

<p>“participation” doesn’t mean anything unless you won something.</p>

27

<p>HYPS: High reach
Lower Ivies: Reach, I think youll get in at a couple of them.
Emory: Match
Duke: Reach

28

<p>Bring up the ACT, I think they are all reaches except Emory and UF.
The lower Ivys and Northwestern can become matches if you raise your ACT.
chance me?
And don’t laundry list your ECs.

<p>Yale SCEA: High Reach
all the other ivies: High Reaches
Emory: In
Duke: Low Reach/In
Northwestern: Low Reach
UF: In
Stanford: High Reach</p>

<p>I think your EC’s are great, and you should definitely consider taking the SAT I because your SAT II practice scores are so good. I think your ACT score is pretty good, but if you can retake it you might want to try it. Your course load looks demanding, which will go in your favor, especially because you kept such a high uw GPA, and it’s good you have such great recs. However, I think your ethnicity might hurt you, as there are a lot of Jewish/white people in college and in the Ivies these days. However, I still think you have a very decent shot, even at the Ivies, due to your amazing courseload & your ability to overcome obstacles/stress. Maybe you should mention this ability in your essays?</p>

<p>Chance me too? My post is: Chance a worried URM for Ivies and other Schools? I’d really appreciate your input.
Good luck and I hope you get in! You’ll be a strong candidate for any college!</p>
