<p>WOW, freaking cool title. Just for that, I’ll chance you.</p>

<p>First, I have to ask how you can be legacy at 5 schools. Legacy specifically means that your parent is an alum from that school, so unless your parents died and your foster parents got a divorce and remarried, I’m not sure how that would work.</p>

<p>Your stats are excellent, except you’re missing an SAT Subject test to apply to Princeton (minimum 3 subjects).</p>

<p>Your extracurriculars seem diverse and stand out because you were 2x state champs and a medalist in state tournaments. However, you are lacking in intellectual achievements that MIT likes (USAMO, RSI, etc.).</p>

<p>MIT - low reach
Yale - low reach
Columbia - low reach
Princeton - low reach
Skidmore - in
Haverford - in
Wesleyan - in
Amherst - match
Williams - match
Vassar - in
Brown - low reach/high match</p>

<p>My guess is that you’ll get into at least one of MIT, Yale, Columbia, Princeton, or Brown. If not, I’m confident you’ll get into either Williams or Amherst.</p>

<p>2 schools are for my parents, one is for my sister, one is where my grandpa built the medical school, and my grandma is an alumna at the fifth</p>

4

<p>please…</p>

5

<p>disagree with random betch about Amherst being a match. My friend’s friend got into Harvard and a couple other Ivies but got rejected from Amherst, so i’d say that one’s a reach too</p>

6

<h1>$^<em>&#$^@</em>$&^*@</h1>

<p>sibling counts as legacy?!?!?!</p>

<p>does this make me a harvard legacy? ):</p>

7

<p>I don’t see why you’re EDing to Haverford, because as a legacy student you are competitive at much better schools.</p>

8

<p>I’m EDing to Haverford because I want to go there. As far as I’m concerned “much better schools” would not make me as happy.</p>

9

<p>Then why are you asking us to chance you for all those ‘better’ schools?</p>

10

<p>because a lot of my classmates are applying to those 4 schools and i wonder how i might have fared had i been interested in going somewhere larger</p>

11

<p>bump to the front</p>

12

<p>I think you have a good chance at the ivies (but no guarantee like everyone).
Considering you don’t need aid, then you should be IN at Haverford, which seems to be where you want to go most anyway.</p>

<p>Change back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/779227-wharton-ed.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/779227-wharton-ed.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

13

<p>thanks for the input, i chanced you back</p>

14

<p>

</p>

<p>Because one person whom you are acquainted with got into Harvard but not Amherst means it’s as difficult to get into as Harvard? Uhh lol.</p>

<p>For every one person who gets into Harvard and not Amherst, there are probably ten times that number who got into Amherst but not Harvard.</p>

15

<p>Hm I like your SAT and SAT II scores.</p>

<p>I doubt u need a chance thread for ED Hartford. </p>

<p>You of all people, should know that Mr.IWillChanceYou</p>

16

<p>haverford my friend. with any luck i’ll have to get used to people confusing my school for something else.</p>

17

<p>If you want to run cross country and/or track in college, you will not find a better program or a better coach than Tom Donnelly at any level (DI, DII, DIII) anywhere. Not to mention that the school is fantastic, but it seems you already know that.</p>
