What is your weighted/unweighted GPA, SAT/ACT/Subject Test/AP scores, and rank (if available)?

UVA, and Boston College I’d give you a good +95%chance
Cornell and Notre Dame are +90%
Villanova, Dartmouth, and Georgetown are all ~80-85%

@doorrealthe they are all in the post!
@MrFrostyDog thank you!

My D is applying EA to UVA and Georgetown, and I think would have somewhat similar chances to yours. My guess for yours is:

UVA: in-state would be likely accept; OOS would be at least as likely defer, possible later accept
Georgetown: likely defer, possible later accept (as you may know, they have no reject during EA consideration)
Villanova: likely accept
BC: accept or defer; not sure how their EA goes, but seems like a good chance of accept at some point
Notre Dame: tougher than BC; could go either way
Cornell: certainly possible accept, though couldn’t say likely
Dartmouth: somewhat tougher than Cornell

I’d hope you have one more school ready to apply to that’s easier than Villanova. Especially since the ones that notify earlier (Georgetown and ND) are more likely to be defers. You don’t want to be freaking out on December 23.

Lol oops, my bad. Just skipped right over those!

Everything looks great (especially the ECs) besides the number of APs you’ve taken and your subject tests. For Georgetown, it’s very rare for someone to be accepted with only 2 subject tests. For that reason, I’d say Georgetown is a toss-up. Dartmouth and, to a lesser extent, Cornell as well. But I think you’re in at every other school! Good luck!

@doorrealthe for my subject tests, I actually took literature and got a 600 so I had to send it but I forgot to post it, oops! thank you for your insight, though.

@Wilson98 I haven’t applied to a school easier than Nova yet, but if I don’t get into Nova (which I think I will), then I will obviously apply to more safety-like schools, some of which i have been thinking about. thank you for your concern!

10

don’t take Mr.FrostyDog’s numbers seriously. I wouldn’t know how Villanova would be harder to get into than Cornell let alone any unhooked applicant having an 80% chance at Dartmouth.

Nonetheless, your stats are good, but nobody can make any guarantees with these schools.

@Flurite thanks for your input. i was suspicious about those, but your comment about villanova was reassuring.
