<p>Your strengths are your standardized test scores (your ACT is very good for Vandy and BC, pretty good for Georgetown, and decent for Cornell). Your GPA is the weak portion here, and your EC’s are pretty mundane. That 13% rank is also not good (unless you updated them with that 10%).</p>
<p>All of those schools are reaches (BC a low reach, Vandy medium, Cornell and Gtown high reaches), but the chances you’ll get into at least one are not bad. Your GPA will most likely keep you out of Cornell though, and probably Gtown too. Best to hope for Vandy or BC.</p>
<p>(Do they actually call Vanderbilt Vandy? Or am I just sounding like a tard face?)</p>
<p>good lord…are you joking? all the school are not reaches…i have to say really good chances at vandy and bc because of the test scores. maybe the SAT IIs might hurt just a little. </p>
<p>if those schools are reaches for him…then i might as well cancel my application and go get an app from my community college.</p>
