Rather than a standard chance me(with reach, match, and safety designations), I thought it would be interesting to see where you guys think I will get accepted, rejected, or waitlisted. If anyone is interested I can update when I get results back since almost all of my schools are rolling or EA.

My personal predictions are deferred–>rejected at Georgetown, deferred—>accepted BC, and accepted at the others. Kind of iffy on BC, Lehigh, and Northeastern but I feel good about my chances. Georgetown is my crapshoot school but you never know. What do you guys think?
You have ECs (MUN FBLA that are related to your intended major) which is a plus. Strong ACT scores and GPA, and good SAT IIs.
Georgetown-Maybe Waitlisted?-40% chance of getting in.(Crapshoot for almost everyone)(Could get in with good essays)
BC-Accepted-(I think you have about a 75% chance of getting in. My friend got in with 30 ACT/little no ECs last year)
Accepted at Rest (might be one or two rejections/waitlists. Never know for sure about college admissions. But I’m willing to bet you will be accepted to everywhere other than Georgetown. Perhaps even at Georgetown.)
Have you thought about adding several reaches? (Perhaps a lower reach like Emory or one or two of the lower Ivies like Cornell or Penn?) If you want to shoot higher, you have a chance at those.
@Mamapa2 I have thought about Penn, but not much. Haven’t really looked at other schools. Your predictions are pretty close to mine though.
I think you would have a solid chance at somewhere like Emory RD (Perhaps 50-60% or even higher) and a acceptance ED2 if you’re interested. Don’t know about Penn though, but you can always aim higher
Georgetown- Hard to say due to unpredictability but probably Waitlist
BC- Accepted
Lehigh- Depends on level of interest, but probably waitlisted
Northeastern- Accepted
Villanova- Accepted
Penn State- Accepted with merit
Ohio State- Accepted with merit
Pitt- Accepted with merit
^^^Forget about merit aid at Penn State, especially if OOS.
@TomSrOfBoston Yeah I’m not trying for merit at Penn State. Expecting some merit at OSU(its OOS so I kind of need it lol) and hoping for something at Pitt but I know its competitive. I am applying to PSU honors so that scholarship would be nice, but I’m not expecting anything else. Even without merit at Pitt/Penn State they are in state so its fine.
@blueguy99 I’d be really happy if your predictions come true in December.
Bumping due to being anxious about decisions coming in two weeks! I know chances don’t mean much and won’t change anything, but would love to get more opinions.
Lol I appreciate the optimism.
