<p>Please Chance me for:</p>

<p>UPenn Wharton ED no doubt about it(legacy, dad went undergrad and grad there)

Cornell Dyson
MIT Sloan EA

Georgetown McDonough
Yale University
UChicago EA
Northwestern</p>

<p>No financial aid will be needed if that effects anything. </p>

<p>Thank you so much for reading a long post. :)</p>

<p>Also could you please chance me for Duke and UCB Hass. Thank you!</p>

<p>NYU Stern - match
Wharton - low reach (it’s a reach for everyone but I think you’re doing really well comparatively!)
Yale - reach
UChicago - low reach
Cornell - match
Northwestern - match
UCB - match
Duke - match/low reach?
Georgetown - match
Stanford - reach
MIT - reach </p>

<p>Basically, the schools I listed as reaches are reaches for everyone. Your stats are good and ECs are pretty solid too, although I wouldn’t list CTY or Coursera on an application - I don’t think they’re necessary selective, although I could be wrong. Being a legacy will help you a lot.
Chance me back? </p>

<p>Sure leave the link. Also Coursera is online that allows you to take college courses taught by the college professors on live videos. There are finals and quizzes every week so I personally think it has a lot of value. </p>

<p>And you’re probably right about Coursera, I didn’t realize how rigorous it was. </p>
