<p>I'm looking to go into premed or law. What are my chances for the Ivies and other highly selective schools like Hopkins, Georgetown, and Duke?</p>

<p>Thanks for reading! :)</p>

<p>Holy **** awesome grades. Tons of good **** you are doing to.</p>

<p>I am not really sure, but I would say it depends on your SAT scores. Duke shouldn’t be a prob for you, not sure about the other two.</p>

<p>To put it in perspective, I have 1600 SAT’s 3.2 GPA so, I am going for Uconn, NY poly or drexel. (All stretches pretty much, but I could probs get into uconn)</p>

<p>Thanks. Bump!!</p>

<p>Duke is actually the largest reach you have on there… But it looks like you’re on the right track.</p>

<p>Georgetown: High match/low reach
Hopkins: Low reach
Duke: reach</p>

5

<p>Higher reach than ivies?!</p>

6

<p>Not for all of the ivies. Some, yes. </p>

<p>Cornell: low reach
Dartmouth: low reach
Brown: reach
Columbia: reach
UPenn: reach
Yale: high reach
Harvard: high reach
Princeton: high reach </p>

<p>Don’t be too terribly discouraged about applying to Ivy Leagues, though. They’re reaches for everyone, and the possibility is certainly open to you. You look like you would be a competitive candidate for most of them.</p>

<p>Bump? Please.</p>

<p>Georgetown: high match
Cornell: high match
Hopkins: high match
Dartmouth: low reach
Duke: low reach
UPenn: low reach
Brown: reach
Columbia: reach
