South Dakota boy's chances

<p>2 weeks later, any more thoughts?</p>

<p>I bet you get in to at least four out of those five.</p>

<p>four of five. I can live with that. other thoughts?</p>

<p>Your chances look beautiful, you can be sure you'll get into a top school. With all other things equal, there isn't a really valid reason to reject you, so it's unlikely that you won't end up at one of the schools you listed. The only thing that could possibly increase your chances is being a minority, but things look way too bright for you. But you can't beat being an Arkansas boy. :)</p>

<p>As for music, if I was listening to music at the moment it'd be Coheed and Cambria.</p>

<p>thanks. anyone else?</p>

<p>Autoreject. With that GPA, it is plainly clear that you received a B somewhere in your high school career. We all know what happens to people that receive Bs (they are rejected and often assassinated by the government).</p>

<p>Yeah I know. It's the man. Always out to get you.</p>

<p>Rebump. Sheesh these last few days are passing slowly...</p>

<p>"Lol. I meant into the thread.</p>

<p>And hey, don't diss SoDak. It could be worse."</p>

<p>Not if you're a woman in need of an abortion!</p>

<p>And your chances look fabulous everywhere. This post was unnecessary! :)</p>

<p>Ooh burn. S'ok. I didn't write the law, and I had a good time protesting it. That's a can of worms I wish our state hadn't opened.</p>

<p>Thanks for the eval. Any other thoughts?</p>

<p>The hell? Harvard a match? That just doesn't happen.</p>

<p>Stanford - slight reach
Yale - slight reach
Harvard - slight reach
Princeton - slight reach
Cornell - safe match
NWU - safe match</p>

<p>I've got to agree with Flippy, everyone's being just a little too nice.</p>

<p>You have great stats, but they're not uber genius, so as Flippy said, the Ivies are slight reaches.</p>

<p>I think all are reaches...</p>

<p>Even flippy was being nice.</p>

<p>Thanks for being realistic guys. Others?</p>

<p>If they are all reaches, then that means he's on the same level as everyone else. That's not true, the op is ahead of the game. He deserves to be "slight reach" IMO.</p>

<p>My guess is that 1 out of the HYPS will accept you.</p>

<p>I think I agree with flippy.</p>

<p>But regarldess of where you go, you have great stats and would probably be successful at any college you attended.</p>

<p>Ok. Still, one of four would be wonderful.</p>

<p>How much of a boost do you think SD gives me?</p>

<p>An awesome boost. It's considered a hook. Try to find demographics on how many SD kids go to these schools, to see the bigger picture (I remember at most top schools only 1-4 people in my state went).</p>
