<p>I made a similar thread earlier, but I've changed the colleges I want to apply to and what I want to do at them.</p>
<p>I'm thinking of applying to these college:</p>
<p>Cornell University (Either this or Reed College I'm going to apply ED)
Reed College
Carnegie Mellon University
John Hopkins University
Boston University
University of Michigan
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
New York University
Rutgers University (safety, as I'm a NJ resident)
Oberlin College
University of Washington</p>
<p>Quite honestly, I have no idea what I want to major in, so I'm going to apply undecided at all of them.</p>
<p>My "stats" are:</p>
<p>SAT I:
M:800
CR:720
W:770</p>
<p>SAT IIs so far:</p>
<p>Math Level 2: 800 (first try as well if they require you to show all of your tries)</p>
<p>-I plan to take Bio (I haven't decided whether E or M), which I will most likely score at least 750</p>
<p>My GPA, however, is 3.3, so that weighs heavily on my resume.</p>
<p>In terms of extracurriculars, I'm taking the IB, so I have CAS to do. I've been participating in various Jazz bands, and more or less started one of the bands this year. I'm also working with a shelter for kids who have been effected by HIV/AIDS called CCDT.</p>
<p>Can anybody tell me my chances at these universities?</p>
<p>you look pretty good. i’d say:</p>
<p>cornell - you have a chance, but i think your gpa is a bit low
reed - don’t know it
carnegie mellon - good chance
JHU - good chance
BU - in
Michigan - in
Illinois - in
NYU - good chance
rutgers - in
oberlin - don’t know it
UW - in</p>
<p>your gpa is a bit low, but everything else looks great</p>
<p>Thanks =). Can anybody else give some feedback too?</p>
<p>Also, spaceneedle, since you say that I’ll be in at 5 of the 11 universities I listed, do you think I should aim a bit higher?</p>
<p>And would anybody think University of Chicago is a possibility?</p>
<p>Or UPenn?</p>
<p>Also, would the fact that I am an expat living in Mumbai increase my chances at any of these places on grounds of diversity?</p>
<p>Cornell University (Either this or Reed College I’m going to apply ED) - reach
Reed College - low reach
Carnegie Mellon University - match
John Hopkins University - reach
Boston University - match/in
University of Michigan - reach (OOS)
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign - match
New York University - match
Rutgers University (safety, as I’m a NJ resident) - safety
Oberlin College - match
University of Washington - match
UPenn - reach</p>
<p>“Reed - Never Heard Of
Oberlin - Never heard of”</p>
<p>It’s great that HS students are willing to chance each other, but this is another reason it doesn’t make much sense.</p>
<p>Thanks you guys. Can anybody give an opinion on University of Chicago?</p>

<p>You might as well give it a shot with UChicago. As I said before, the only reason i’d think they would look down on you would be your gpa.</p>
