Please chance me for RD;Cornell, Duke, Emory, Northwestern, Vanderbilt, WashU(St.L)

<p>Cornell-low reach
Duke-reach
Emory-high match
Vanderbilt- high match
WashU-high match</p>

<p>I’m surprised how pessimistic some of the other posters have been, you have great ECs, a good GPA, and only slightly low test scores for these schools.</p>

<p>good shot for all. good profile.

<p>I think you have decent chances, but based on being deferred from Rice I would suggest having some more safeties and/or matches. However, ignoring that I would say you were a prime candidate. </p>

<p>Chance me back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1439230-chance-me-dartmouth.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1439230-chance-me-dartmouth.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I’m surprised you were deferred by Rice ED…</p>

<p>Cornell - reach
Duke - high reach
Emory - high match
Vanderbilt - high match
WashU - high match</p>

<p>I think you have a good shot. You might have been deferred just because they wanted to see your Senior 1st semester GPA.</p>

<p>I will chance you all in the morning! I’d also like to say that Rice deferred 130/1300 so they’re a little more picky about it than elsewhere. Thanks for the input everyone!</p>

<p>Bump :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :)</p>

<p>All reaches bro you never know who they will accept…it’s like you are playing the lottery, you just need to pray you will get in</p>

<p>Bump</p>

<p>I am scratching my head and wonder why you were not accepted at Rice. I also agree that some of the other posters are very pessimistic. You seem to have a solid foundation and passion for what you seek. One thing I wasn’t clear on is how rigorous was your curriculum- if not as rigorous as it can be, then perhaps that’s why you were deferred? Who really knows. As a parent of a son who is also applying to many of the same schools, I wish you good luck.</p>

<p>All reaches</p>

<p>I definitely can see you getting into all those schools. Just hope for the best!</p>

<p>@PsychoDad10 I have taken 4 AP classes and I’m in 6 for my senior year. The rest were all honors engineering courses( I wanted to study engineering before) and technology classes. 4 years of foreign language, music courses, and standard required classes. Good luck to your son!</p>

<p>Thanks for your feedback everyone else!</p>

<p>I don’t know why people are rating your chances at Rice and Duke as being so low. I think you have a decent chance at both schools. You are in the middle 50% of ACT scores, and you have excellent extracurriculars. Remember that just because a person has a lot of extracurriculars, doesn’t mean a college will be impressed. The more extracurriculars you do, the less time you can spend on each. So don’t be too worried.</p>

<p>I’m also confused. You look great on paper! Your commitment and passion is clear but you still have the diversity in your ECs to be good candidate for a Liberal Arts school. I don’t know much about any of these schools but from what little I do know I would say only Cornell is a high reach. Duke is also a reach and all the others I think are reach to low reach. </p>

<p>Thank you for chancing me – good luck!</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>
