I would give you very good chances for Colombia, the others are really up to chance. Be as impressive as possible on your essays.

3

Reaches for all. I’d say you’ll get into one though

4

@impssbm, are you giving him the good chance at Columbia because of his past internship experience?

5

I think it was a random and uninformed opinion especially since they spelled Columbia wrong.

I think Duke and Northwestern low reaches for you, the rest are either reaches/high reaches. With Wharton, you have a problem considering your Math Level 2 and Calc BC score. Wharton emphasizes a strong mathematical background in calculus, and they assess an applicant’s ability via these two tests. Since 19 percent of test takers get a 800 on the Math Level 2 exam, not getting a 800 may be slightly detrimental by default, as so many applicants to Wharton have a 800. In addition, same thing probably applies to the AP Calc BC as many qualified applicants to Wharton would definitely have a 5. SAT 1 score, GPA and rank are all decent, but work on your essays to make your profile compelling. For the leaderships positions, you put one year- did you get a leadership position in your first year in the club??

Hey how did Ivy day go?
