1/2 Iranian(although it counts as white, so I don't think it matters)</p>
<p>Already applying to: UT Austin, A&M (In state safeties), Stanford(probably not with that GPA), Univ. Chicago, Rice(double legacy), Pomona, Cal-Tech, Tulane(applying for free with no essay)</p>
<p>Any suggestions for a school or two that I would be a match for, maybe a little easier to get in than Chicago? I really need to think of some more schools. </p>
<p>PS: I would like to major in Mathematics, Computer Science, or Engineering(Mech. or Chem.)</p>
<p>Thanks so much, will chance!!!</p>
<p>How about Johns Hopkins or Carneige Melon? What about Harvery Mudd too? Your scores are great for those.</p>
<p>How about MIT or Duke? If you ask me, you’re aiming a bit too low. Good Luck!</p>
<p>I’d agree with evracer. You could do much better than your list. I’d try for some lower ivies such as Cornell or Upenn. Possible a shot at Brown too. You could always try Emory, Duke, UNC: Chapel Hill, BC, Carnegie Mellon, Georgetown…just to name a few.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>So, you guys think I have a good shot at those schools, even not being top 10% in my class? I think this may have been misinterpreted as top 10 people :)…</p>
<p>Yes you do! But if you’re looking for safties, CMU and JHU are great!</p>
<p>Could i ask where you are located in texas? [off topic]</p>
<p>I am in Houston, TX. Bellaire area, if you’re from here.</p>
<p>ahh no pretty far away haha 
good try though eh?</p>
<p>Any other suggestions?</p>
<p>Anyone else? Cost is sort of an issue, so schools with good financial aid would be nice. Sorry, I do not know my UW GPA, my school doesn’t give it on the transcript 
. I would love some more suggestions, though!</p>
<p>Look into colleges that promise to meet full need:</p>

<p>smokin’ SAT score! 
i agree, can you tell us what your UW GPA is out of 4.0? I’m guessing its around 3.7ish…but I definitely think you have a shot at the schools you mentioned. Everything except Stanford/UChicago/Caltech you’re probably in at
Stanford high reach, I do think your GPA diminishes your chances a LOT. UChicago, with a quirky essay you could probably get in, your test score is well within their range. Caltech…also probably slim chance bc they’re a heavy math/science school and it doesnt look like you have huge math/science awards or anything</p>
<p>Other schools you could look at- Georgetown, NYU, Duke, maybe Cornell even as a safety, Columbia as a high match…etc etc The Ivies all give pretty great financial aid, so you should look into some of those lower ones and see if you like any of them</p>
<p>chance me back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/789037-chance-me-scea-yale-other-top-schools-pretty-ish-formatting.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/789037-chance-me-scea-yale-other-top-schools-pretty-ish-formatting.html</a></p>
<p>If it helps (shows well-roundedness, I guess), I worked one full summer in a nuclear valve warehouse, and another full summer at a CPA Firm (not just a copy-boy). Although I, personally, don’t consider it an excuse, I also had a pretty traumatic childhood event that went in to high school that could be a reason for my average-ish grades.</p>
