<p>I think you’re in pretty much everywhere but Harvard and Stanford- and even then, you have a great shot. :] GJ!</p>

3

<p>harvards still a bit of a reach, but id give you a 75% for stanford, 95% for washu, 85% for northwestern and pomona, and VERY GOOD acceptance for the rest</p>

4

<p>Wow, wasn’t expecting that. I’m feeling a bit special now! Stanford notification in <7 days. Now I’m even more nervous because you guys seem to think I have a good chance :(. Keep 'em coming!</p>

5

<p>You are impressive. Smart, artisitc, good ecs and grades, and community service. You have a greta shot at every one of these schools. Including Harvard and Standford.</p>

6

<p>Sorry but Harvard requires 3 SAT IIs, looks like you have a very good chance at all your LAC’s and I’d say a 30-40% chance at Stanford which is pretty good.</p>

<p>@HailThief
I wouldn’t go as far as impressive, but I do try!</p>

<p>@Jersey13
I heard Harvard won’t reject your application with only two Subject tests but three are definitely recommended. I didn’t have enough room in my schedule for AP sciences or foreign languages (just honors), so that’s out, and I took Literature and got a 690 which I’ll submit as a last resort.</p>

<p>Very, very impressive. EA might help at Stanford, and Harvard is…uncertain. As usual. :slight_smile: Match/in at everything else!</p>

14

<p>Rejected from Stanford :(</p>

<p>@KaitHags My top would probably be Emory Scholars Program/Pomona/Harvard.
Did you get into Swarthmore?</p>

<p>@zachattackGO I know what you mean! When people ask me what I am I usually give a brief description then end up saying something along the lines of “yeah it’s pretty weird.” My school doesn’t really do UW GPA. It’s not on my transcript either</p>
