<p>hey so im really nervous i was wondering if anyone would chance me for these schools:</p>
<p>-Georgetown University (EA)
-Stanford University
-Brown University
-Yale University (favorite)
-Berkley
-NYU
-Penn State University
-USC
-Williams College
-UNC</p>
<p>here's my stats:</p>
<p>caucasian
pretty decent public high school in new jersey
GPA: 2.57 - UW my school doesnt weight
i dont know my rank
SAT: math- 540, CR - 560, writing - 490
SAT 2s: math 1 - 490, spanish - 520, biology - 510
ACT: 23</p>
<p>ECS:
-job: freshman year until now I've been a paid dog walker
-varsity softball 4 years
-jv/varsity inddor track 2 years</p>
<p>essays: they turned out pretty excellent, very well written
teacher recs: probably very good</p>
<p>SAT, subject tests and GPA are all quite far below the averages for schools like Georgetown, Berkeley, Yale, Williams, Brown and Stanford, so they are pretty big reaches. However, if you’ve got an amazing story to tell and stellar essays then you’ve got a shot. No harm in applying, but make sure you’ve got some safety schools as well!</p>
<p>-Georgetown University (EA) - High reach
-Stanford University - No
-Brown University - Nada
-Yale University (favorite) - Sorry, but zilch
-Berkley - for OOS, high reach
-NYU - pretty high reach
-Penn State University - perfect match
-USC - reach
-Williams College - Very high reach
-UNC - Mid-to-high reach
-Vanderbilt- Mid-to-high reach</p>
<p>-Georgetown University (EA) = reach
-Stanford University =high reach
-Brown University =high reach
-Yale University (favorite) =high reach
-Berkeley = high reach
-NYU = reach
-Penn State University = Match
-USC = reach
-Williams College = high reach
-UNC = reach</p>
<p>Some constructive criticism:
Your GPA/SAT 1/ SAT 2 scores are not in the charts for most of these colleges. You need to aim lower for college. Stop applying to the top colleges…you need to apply broadly.</p>
<p>-Georgetown University (EA) - med reach
-Stanford University - high reach
-Brown University - high reach
-Yale University (favorite) - high reach
-Berkley - which one?
-NYU - med reach
-Penn State University - low/med reach
-USC - med/high
-Williams College - idk
-UNC - med/high </p>
<p>Maybe you’ll get in at penn state… just realize that a lot of the schools you are submitting to are reaches for people with PERFECT gpas and PERFECT sats… you probably need to aim lower.</p>
<p>you have pretty much no shot at any of these schools except Penn Sate, you listed schools that are reaches for people with PERFECT gpa and PERFECT sat scores! you need to aim lower.</p>
