<p>Youre SAT 1 and SAT2 scores are very very good, so I doubt you have to worry about those anymore. Your EC’s are decent, but theyre pretty stereotypical with all being related to your violin abilities. You are also ORM from california, which is a bad combo. Your gpa is decent, but not outstanding in anyway; what is your rank? </p>

<p>Chances:
Stanford-high reach
MIT-high reach
Columbia-reach
Duke-mid reach
Cornell-mid reach
Rice-low reach/high match
Northwestern-low reach
Carnegie Mellon-high match
UC berkeley-match
UCLA-match
UCSD-safety</p>

<p>chance back please</p>

<p>I’m in top 10% last time I checked (first semester junior year…my counselor changed and the new one won’t tell me my rank)</p>

6

<p>Stanford and Columbia are high reaches, all else you shouldn’t worry incredibly too much about :P</p>

<p>chance me? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/780607-chance-me-vanderbilt-emory-wake-forest.html#post1063250698[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/780607-chance-me-vanderbilt-emory-wake-forest.html#post1063250698&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Stanford and Columbia high reaches, MIT to a degree but not as much as the two I just mentioned, but I see no reason why you can’t get into Rice and bellow on your list. Your SAT scores and SAT II scores, along with how you’ve done in AP Calc AB and BC are extremely strong however. Do well in AP Physics C and AP Lit (A’s) and it should round out your GPA nicely. If you stay the course though you shouldn’t see a lot of bumps along the way. Good luck with Stanford, MIT and Columbia!</p>

<p>@Ponce do u mean i have higher chance of getting into MIT than Stanford and Columbia?</p>

<p>I’m applying to Columbia SEAS btw</p>

9

<p>Slightly higher yes</p>

10

<p>Your chances to stanford and the Ivies will need a really good essay to be within reach. As for Berkeley, NWestern, should be no problem. Your reading is great :)<br>
Chance me too ^^ ty: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/780899-chance-me-please-2210-sat.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/780899-chance-me-please-2210-sat.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>You have fantastic board scores, a rigorous schedule, and a developed EC in your violin. Yes, all these schools are very challenging to get into and they are reaches for everyone, but there is no reason you cannot be a competitive applicant. At this point, focus on your essays and make yourself stand out to the admissions committee. Everything else seems to be in line. Good luck and don’t stress too much!</p>

<p>I’ve been looking for some feedback myself: </p>

<p>Everything looks solid to say the least. There’s lot to be said for someone that challenges themself with AP courses and clearly you have done that</p>

<p>Stanford-high reach
MIT-high reach
Columbia-reach
Duke-mid reach
Cornell-low reach
Rice-high match
Northwestern-low reach
Carnegie Mellon-match

<p>I mostly agree with NWdivisionCHAMPS, but with a few exceptions. Best of luck</p>

<p>Ivies are hard for anybody, you can be the perfect student and still get denied. Same goes for MIT and Stanford. </p>

<p>Do me, I only got one school to match for.

<p>I would think MIT is the definite reach and the highest, next is Stanford, then Columbia. but your stats fall within or above all of the ranges for the other schools. Also, your EC’s wont sway decisions THAT much over your GPA and SATs. Your in good shape.</p>
