I have done a chance me in the past, but these “Predict my results” threads seem a bit different. This is for pure fun, and I am really curious to see what will predicted vs what will actually happen in March.

I very well think you’ll get into all of those schools. I cant imagine you getting rejected from Tech, Johns Hopkins, or Northeatern. Columbia and Yale I believe you have great chance but who knows with them.
Strong test scores and class rank + URM hook + research/internships. You’re in a good position to get into almost any school. Here’s my predicted results:
Great profile! The math score is a little low, but if you don’t plan to go into math, it shouldn’t matter too much. URM will definitely help. ECs are slightly under par for top tier schools, but my guess is that it’ll come down to your essays. Good luck!
You’ve got a great overall profile, but you need to keep in mind that the universities you’re applying to are extremely competitive. You’ve got what it takes and I hope it works out for you!
I’m going to list, based on your profile, the percentage of acceptance, rather than simply accepted or rejected.
I honestly think you’ll get accepted in UPenn and Johns Hopkins.
You have a shot at Columbia, but it’s a little tough.
Yale is the toughest of these 4 universities.
Despite your solid scores, you’re one of many applicants with similar characteristics.
It’s true that your hook gives you an advantage, but then again, your ECs are a little under the level for such top-notch universities.
If your essays on the other hand are impressive, you’re looking at an increased shot at each one of these universities.
I think you have a great chance at all of your schools! URM+Woman in STEM is very very attractive to colleges, especially ones like Yale that are looking to beef up their STEM department.
Please remember these schools practice holistic admissions. As long as you have scores in range, your acceptance will depend on how the admissions officers who read your application perceive you as a person. Looking at the acceptance rates for each school will be a good start to see how likely/unlikely it is for you to get into that school, but at the Ivy League level, nobody can chance you and your chance does not equate the acceptance rate.

@GreenPoison No I didn’t report that one, history is usually a weak subject for me and having a sucky teacher didn’t help. I had a much better US History teacher though
