<p>Pro Cloud Watcher. Nice!
Stellar GPA, good EC’s, great SAT’s</p>

<p>I hope my percentages aren’t ambiguous, but I’d say being a NC resident UNC is a cinch. Albeit Dartmouth is Ivy, I personally think it is more difficult to get into Duke, when comparing Dartmouth to Duke. </p>

<p>I’d look into this if I were you, I’m not 100% sure but I think you have to take two Math/Science related SAT II’s to go to Carnegie Mellon’s engineering school. Aside from that you’re set there (that is if you’re applying to the engineering school).</p>

<p>I think Cornell is the easiest Ivy to get into, hence low reach. I know if I were you, I would never touch a standardized test again (until grad school…never can get away) with your SAT scores, but to be a match at Duke, Cornell, Dartmouth, and Johns Hopkins, I’d say raise that SAT to like a 2200 or 2300. I know this is being really anal, but without that, those aforementioned schools are low reaches. </p>

<p>You’re set on Rice and Vandy, although I’d visit Vandy first. I’m from TN, and I live in one of the few non-super hillbilly areas, I’d say a little bit like Charlotte. I live in the suburbs but occasionally head Downtown for social events. When I visited Vandy, I thought it looked EXACTLY like my local downtown area…I didn’t like it, I wanted something new.</p>

<p>Do not take my word for it, visit yourself, you may love it (the campus is BEAUTIFUL, it’s just in the heat of Nashville which is too similar to my hometown for my tastes).</p>

<p>Chance me back plz <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1167845-chance-me-please-i-will-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1167845-chance-me-please-i-will-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>bump. Any other input?</p>
