<p>Hello,
I tried this before, but my previous thread got only one response and very few page views, so I am trying this again.</p>

UMD-CP---- Safety
SUNY- Binghamton---- Safety

<p>Classes: By far the most rigorous schedule available to students at my school.

<p>Thanks a lot!!!!</p>

<p>any plans on shooting a bit higher?? i think u have awesome stats</p>

3

<p>i think you have some great stats for the schools you're looking at -- i'm not really sure how the sat will affect you, but i would say you've got a good shot at georgetown, and definitely the others</p>

4

<p>Thanks-- I never really thought my stats were good enough to aim higher. What colleges should I be looking at then?</p>

5

<p>I think you have a good chance at the schools you listed. I would probably throw in a Ivy just for the hell of it because with your stats, you could quite possibly get in. But anyway, everything seems good.</p>

6

<p>how are you instate in 2 states? </p>

<p>I thought only the primary residence counted?</p>

7

<p>I am instate in NY and MD as my family lives and works in MD but owns a bussiness in NY and pays taxes in both states. My dad is registered to vote in MD, has a MD driver's license, and car registration while my mom is registered to vote in NY, has a NY driver's license, and has her car registered in NY. My older brother goes to SUNY-Binghamton this way, so I know it works.</p>

<p>UMD-CP---- You will make it in
SUNY- Binghamton---- You will make it in
Georgetown (1st Choice) You will probably make it in
UVa (2nd) You will make it in
William and Mary (3rd- tied) You should make it in
Tufts You will make it in
U-Mich Ann Arbor You will make it in
Rice (3rd- tied) You will probably make it in
Emory (3rd- tied) You will probably make it in</p>

<p>I think that you have selected a great list of schools to apply to. Ivies might not take you, but worth a shot if you feel like it (your ACT is decent but perhaps low for the Ivies, and your UW GPA isn't awesome but the weighted GPA is lovely).
Good luck!</p>

<p>ddit47: thanks for clearing that up</p>

<p>Thanks everyone. I never knew that my chances were that good. I am now thinking of not applying to the SUNY or Rice, but applying to Cornell and U Chicago instead (which would be my new number one choice).</p>
