<p>Very competitive app, I’d say you have a great chance everywhere. Princeton and Dartmouth are both very selective and admission to both is unlikely, but that is only because ivies are unpredictable. You have awesome stats and shouldn’t stress</p>

<p>what originalthought said verbatim</p>

<p>except for penn state and bucknell being safeties. they’re low-high matches I’d say</p>

<p>i’d like to add, too, that make sure your essay comes through as saying not just a lot about your experience, but also about you. and say it in an interesting and unique way. have at least three objective people thoughtfully comment on it as well.</p>

<p>okay thank you for the advice imasophomore (:</p>

<p>You have incredible ECs. Just get your SAT up and you should have very viable chances at all the colleges listed. Princeton and Columbia will be high reaches, however (high reaches for anyone).</p>
