<p>Thanks everyone, and I promise if you chance me I will chance you back.</p>
<p>dUDE, your list is soooo long…and I am only familiar with a few these schools, so I’ll just chance you for the schools I know. It really depends on your january SAT score, because 1760 is fairly low for all the schools on your list. </p>

Northeastern University-high match/low reach
University of Rochester-low reach </p>
<p>Hello fellow IBer! I was going to apply abroad on my Diploma, but I decided against it. However, I will be able to chance you for your some of UK schools.</p>
<p>You have good predicted scores, retaking the SATs will help. I know that you have the ECs, because IB has the CAS component.</p>

<p>I dont know about the ones in europe. as for the american ones, you can probably make it into one of the none ivies on your list. for the ivies, you sat is too low. you ecs are just typical. it really comes down to your essays. since you live in ethiopia, you have good material to write on…</p>
<p>i spent like 10 min on this. CHANCE ME BACK</p>
<p>Cornell: reach
Duke: reach
LeHigh: match
Northwestern: reach/match</p>
<p>There are other factors that admissions considers… they usually try to create a diverse student body and you’re from Ethiopia so that’s a plus
Good Luck</p>
<p>You’re from a unique region, and colleges like diversity, so that’s a plus for you. also you class rank is also pretty good. You have some pretty nice EC, but i would improve you standardized test a bit more. Overall, i think you’ll do fine, i’m thinking mostly low reaches or matches for you. Good luck! ^-^</p>
