Initially I was going to just post on Admissions Hindsight & Lessons Learned and keep a journal of the process but a lot less people read that forum, and it makes more sense to just update here as the season goes.
There’s been a few games done in the past, so I’ll post my stats and my list and you’re free to go Accepted/Denied/Waitlisted. For EA schools you also can put Deferred ----> A/D/W. Each correct answer is a point

And a few less major ECs

SCHOOLS:
UGA (EA - In State)
Emory
Howard (EA)
Tulane (EA)
Georgetown University (Restrictive EA – Georgetown College, not SFS)
Vanderbilt University
American University
pretty sure you’ll get into gtown EA and have to withdraw other apps (which i think they make you do if you get in SCEA, right ? )
Nah Georgetown just says I can’t apply anywhere binding @sahar1811 but thank you lol
With your stats and the fact that you are URM, I actually believe that you will be accepted into each of these universities. Chance back? http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1815927-chance-me-upenn-ed-uchicago-ea-columbia-rd-and-others.html#latest
oh haha well either way i think you will get into gtown
tulane, UGA and american university are low matches/almost safeties
the others im not familiar enough with to say
Take another SAT 2, Georgetown really likes 3
UGA- Accept
Howard- Accept
Tulane EA- Accept
Georgetown EA- Deferred then Accepted
Emory- Waitlist
Vandy- Rejected
American- Accept
Predict Me- http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1816514-predict-results-accept-reject-waitlist.html#latest
Update: my Writing on the ACT was a 36 but I’m not sure if any school really looks at that.
Most likely accepted everywhere except for Georgetown and Vanderbilt. Maybe waitlisted at those two.
UGA (EA - In State) : Safety (Accepted)
Emory : High Match (Accepted)
Howard (EA) : Low Match (Accepted)
Tulane (EA) : Match (Accepted)
Georgetown University (Restrictive EA – Georgetown College, not SFS) : Low Reach (Deferred then Accepted)
Vanderbilt University: Low Reach (Waitlisted)
American University: Match (Accepted)
Good luck, and thanks for the response on my page.
You have lots of leadership and academic ECs which is good. Plus that URM status couldn’t possibly hurt you! Other than Vanderbilt, I see matches for all of these school. Good luck!
Accepted everywhere except wait list at Vandy like the other guy said
I got in at Tulane
no incorrect predictions so far!
Accepted everywhere except deferred from Georgetown and then accepted and rejected from Vandy
You have a great shot at all of these schools! I think you will be accepted to most, but it will be a tougher road at Georgetown, Emory, and Vandy. With a 3rd SAT II you would have slightly higher odds at Georgetown (too late now, I suppose.)
High match @ Emory + Georgetown
Low reach @ Vandy (you will definitely at least make the waitlist)
Best of luck!
