Chance Me / Match Me!
1

Could you guys please chance me for the following top schools by giving an approximate percentage of acceptance (its ok if you are taking a wild guess, I am just curious). Also, I know my list is very top heavy but I got into a good school early action so I cut a lot of my mid tiers and safeties out.

Columbia-
Cornell-
Dartmouth-
Stanford-
Penn-
Duke-
Northwestern-
UCLA-
NYU Stern-
UC Berk-

Senior at a top prep school in a big state

ACT: 34 Composite - 33 English, 36 Math, 36 Reading, 30 Science

Sat II: Math II - 800 Math I- 800

GPA: 3.86 UW,4.52 W

School does not rank

Extracurriculars: 4 year varsity soccer member (all league first team all four years, and captain senior year), club soccer, community service board, 700 total community service hours at major organization, NHS member, latin club president, physics club president, intern for 2 summers at a fortune 500, black belt in krav maga

My counselor would consider my courses the most rigorous offered at the school. Junior year I took 3 AP’s and 2 Honors courses and senior year I will be taking 5 AP’s.
AP Scores: one 3, one 4, two 5s

Work Exp: ninth and tenth grade worked for a family members construction company. Junior and senior year I worked for a fortune 500 hedge-fund and real estate group.

Common App Essay: Assume it is good, but of course I am biased.
Recs: Also assume they will be good. If i had to predict I would say one is a 9/10 and the other is a 6/10

I have no hooks and am in a high income bracket. What do you guys think my chances are? If percentages are too ridiculous you could use another method but I know for the most part they are reaches.

Lastly, feel free to leave a link so I can chance back!

Many of the top schools that you are applying to are crapshoots for everyone, so I cannot give you an accurate chance for them. However, you are competitive and I’m certain that you will get into some of the schools on your list.

My best advice for you is to stop thinking about your decision and enjoy your senior year. What is done is done, and your decision will not depend on the people who give you chances on this thread. The only person who will know your decision will be the officer who reads your application. Good luck! :slight_smile:

3

You’d be a good candidate, but those schools are reaches for anyone. Don’t stress, and good luck!

4

You have a chance of getting in. Then again, you have a better chance of not getting in. I’m assuming you’re well versed in what a qualified applicant looks like. You’re qualified, you’ve already applied. Us telling you anything won’t change anything. Sit back and relax.

5

You’re definitely a competitive candidate and my guess is you’ll get into at least one of the above schools (perhaps NYU) you’ve done everything you could do make yourself a good candidate and you should be proud of that. As everyone else is saying they’re reaches for everyone but you’ve put yourself into a good position to be admitted to an upper echelon school. Best of luck to you!

Those schools are reaches for everyone, but I think you are a good candidate for them.

If you don’t mind me asking, which school did you get into EA?

7

Cookie cutter ECs. Very good scores and grades, though. Most probable will be Stern. All others will be high reaches.

8

Don’t think Stern is most probable as they have a very low acceptance rate and has been dropping precipitously. You have the best chances at UCLA, Berkeley, & Cornell from the list. The rest are complete crapshoots.

@QuiteAverage90 I got into U Michigan

@okon2122 You are right. I wish i did something a little less generic, but then again, I did what I actually enjoyed. Side note: When you say high reach does that mean less than 5% chance of acceptance?

10

I think you have great chances! I think Stanford, Columbia, Penn, and Duke are far-fetched though. Great SAT II scores, work experience, and ACT. ECs won’t set you apart though.
