Lol being white doesn’t make you a URM. I hope you know that.

You have the stats for all of those places. Now you have to make the case that you will add a something extra interesting to the class at Yale, Princeton, Harvard and Stanford, and that you really want to go to all the rest. For Duke and the Ivies, maybe New Jersey will be a bit of a problem for you due to the need for geographic diversity, but you will likely hit on a couple. For Northwestern, Tulane, UVA AND Tufts, show lots of interest, knowledge and enthusiasm about attending, or you will fall victim the schools’ legitimate desire not to offer a spot to someone who will not really want to go there, or who will be a morale downer or a transfer risk if they do matriculate. (People with uber stats get rejected from those places all the time – check out their respective threads if you have any doubt.). Congratulations on your stellar record to date. All the best!

@dolphin456 I think you have a great shot at all of those places. That act score is awesome! The only ones I could see as being difficult to get into are HYP, but those are difficult for everyone. Just out of curiosity, how can you have a 4.1 UW out of 4.0? :o anyways, best of luck. could you chance me back maybe?

@wormholes At my school, a 4.0 is a 95, so a 4.1 is a 96.

I think the most anyone can say is that you’re qualified for the top tier schools beyond that it’s kinda a crapshoot your profile is very impressive! I mean come on that 36 on the ACT is so uncommon. UVA UNC and NYU I think you can get into same with JHU tufts and Tulane. Just want to reiterate what NJdad68 said especially for Tulane they want knowledge of their school and demonstrated interest. UChicago places emphasis on the essays more so than perhaps any school in the country so if you can nail those your chances will be good. Overall your profile is great but you need to try to make yourself stand in your essays (I’d start early on those) and really think about what you can add to these schools. Congrats on your amazing profile and I’m sure when the time comes you’ll have great options to choose from. Best of luck!
