<p>Excellent SAT scores (especially with superscore)
Diverse interests
Great GPA
Outstanding SAT IIs

Would recommend taking a non-science/math SAT II</p>

Brown is much easier
Math 750-790 16%
CR 17% for your range
Cornell is similar, probably even easier to get into</p>

<p>Great SATs, the usual slew of ECs, overrepresented category. You’re of course qualified and in for the run, but your essays and recs will have to be very good to get in the Ivies.
I’m not sure about the last three.</p>

<p>thanks guys, and wat exactly does match, reach, mean like in terms of percentage?</p>

<p>also, do my sat, sat II, ec and gpa stack up for the ivy league colleges?</p>

<p>You have really good stats, but Im afraid you have nothing really that puts you above the rest of the Ivy candiadates so I would say that at this point, your essays are super important, and you have as much a chance as any deserving candidate at your top schools (:
Though I would not call Brown/Duke/Columbia/Cornell a match, I would say you have a pretty good chance of getting into atleast one of those (:</p>

<p>oh and chance back please?</p>

<p>What’s with all the people saying match?</p>

<p>You’re on target for all of them, and if your essays and recommendations are as you say they are you’re settled :D</p>

<p>Based on what you have provided and what I know , this is what I think</p>

<p>Princeton University (1st choice)-reach. It is for everyone.
UPenn- Reach
Columbia-Lower Reach
Cornell-Lower Reach
Brown- Are you applying to PLME? If so, Reach, if not Lower Reach
Duke- High Match
Johns Hopkins- High Match</p>

<p>chanced, thanks
anyone else?</p>

<p>P’ton-Reach,but good chance
Good Luck:)</p>

<p>Do not listen to lionfellwithlamb, as their chances are astronomically generous. You are a very strong applicant, but nobody is a match for Princeton / UPenn / Cornell, and nobody is in at Brown.</p>
