<p>This is for my friend who is applying ED to Princeton:</p>

<p>Recs: Great</p>
<p>Essays: Pretty good, I think they are a little weird, but whatever</p>
<p>So what are his chances with those stats? And could you also eveluate regular chances for Penn (wharton), Harvard, Yale, and Columbia. Thanks</p>
<p>He's got a little better than average chance at Harvard, Yale, and Columbia, primarily because of his class rank. However, average chances at these schools are between 8 and 10%. A little better than average puts him into the 15% range. To push himself over the top, he'd have to put together really dynamite essays.</p>
<p>Wharton is a longer shot, I think. The 710 on the Math SAT and the 700 on the Math level 2, while pretty good scores by most standards, are just average for a Wharton applicant. If he's primarily interested in B-school, there's a lot of good ones out there where his Math scores would be right on the money (er, so to speak), and he'd be a very competitive applicant. He should get a hold of the August 28th issue of US News - the college ranking issue - and look at the ranked list of B-schools in the back. He'd be competitive at almost any of the schools below the top ten.</p>
<p>The SAT renders his chance in that average range, not good. These are unrealistic reaches without a hook.</p>
