<p>Essays and Recs- should be good</p>

<p>Responses will be appreciated</p>

<p>Most likely acceptance at Cornell</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply</p>

<p>You have a good chance most of these schools. Your test scores, gpa, and rank are all solid. But places like Cornell, Dartmouth, and Williams and Brown are tough to predict for even the best of applicants. Your essays, recs, and more subjective parts of your app will likely determine your fate at these schools. Given your double legacy status at Cornell, I think you have a really good shot…but I’ve heard that legacy only really helps if you apply ED. Anyways here’s my take on your chances:
Harvard-High reach…it is for pretty much everyone
Dartmouth, Williams, Brown-Medium/Low Reach
Cornell, Georgetown, Amherst-Match
Colby-Low Match</p>

<p>Thanks, anyone else care to express opinions???</p>

<p>bump…</p>
