<p>UVA is hard to get into OOS, but I would say you have a very good shot. Except for the MUN and a few others, though, your ECs aren’t very focused. 60-70% chance
Duke - apply ED if you’re serious. I think you have a decent shot. 40% chance if RD, 50% if ED
Emory - Emory proper, probably a high match. Probably 50% chance. If you apply to a residential special part of Emory though, Oxford College, your chances go up to nearly 100%.
Georgetown - mid-reach, as its acceptance rate is super-low. 30-40% chance likely. Also, Georgetown I have heard is a quite religious Jesuit-Catholic-school (like, iconography in classrooms). I’m Jewish like I’m guessing you are (by your ECs) so I was turned off by Georgetown, Boston College, etc. when I heard this. Just for consideration.
Yale - quite unlikely. You don’t have anything that stands out, really, but you have a better shot than most. 20% chance
Princeton - same as Yale. 20% chance
Stanford - lower than Yale-18% chance.</p>
