Regular Admission Chances, Good SAT's, Bad Grades

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I was denied by Dartmouth but accepted at Notre Dame, so I'm curious about my regular decision chances at the following schools:</p>

<p>Georgetown
Vanderbilt
Amherst
Bowdoin
Middlebury
Rice</p>

<p>I'm also curious about Duke, but I'm not sure I have the grades to get in and I haven't visited, which I'm guessing could hurt. Could you compare Duke's selectivity with some other well-known schools?</p>

<p>Here's some basic information:</p>

<p>White male
Private school, 100% college matriculation rate, usually to good schools</p>

<p>93.7/100 GPA (11 or 12/65 so top 20%, which sounds bad, but I don't think it's a nail in the coffin anywhere. Let me know if I'm wrong.)
800 CR
780 M
670 W (This doesn't reflect my writing ability at all)
(1580/2250)
760 Math II
730 Spanish
710 Literature
5 AP English Language
4 AP Spanish Language/Spanish Literature/US History
Recs: Pretty good
Essays: Common app is solid, but my schools specifics are good.
I do well with interviews.</p>

<p>My first choice is Georgetown, in fact, I wish I applied there early instead of Dartmouth, but whatever. Basically just put the schools into categories or drop me a percentage. I'd also like to hear any hints on how to attack the Georgetown app. Should I apply to the college or McDonough (I would love going to either one) and should I play up English or take advantage of my Spanish ability (I'm in the highest level our school has ever offered, but my spanish teacher didn't write a recommendation)?</p>

<p>Thanks for looking.</p>

<p>i think you have a good chance at all these schools, but a favorable decision will likely come down to intangibles. your SATs are really good. that should help significantly. amherst, i think, is the only of those schools that gives me pause. the others, it’s a toss up or maybe a bit better than a toss-up. good luck! they’re all fantastic places.</p>
