<p>What are my chances at these schools?
I know Stanford is a high reach, but please let me know about the other three. </p>
<p>White male.
Senior in high school.
4.0 UW GPA. School offers only a handful of honors and 1 AP. I have taken all offered by school. Nearly 30 college credits from dual enrollment, all As.</p>
<p>SAT- 710R/670M/800W (2180 aggregate)</p>
<p>Strong ec's in my opinion.
-Started own business, netting thousands all online
-school counselor
-key club treasurer
-soccer captain senior year (only a few games, but who says I have to specify)
-JV bball starter grades 9-10
-300+ hours community service, most as teacher's aide
-NHS
-intramural captain (idk if this is worth citing? sounds kind of good)
-superior in sophomore speech competition</p>
<p>Above average recommendations. I know my counselor listed me as "best few students I have ever encountered."
Undecided with my major. Have my common app completed, but have yet to start on supplements for any of these 4 schools. One month left!</p>
<p>Brandeis, Emory, and Davidson- if you show your interest, I doubt you wouldn’t be accepted (knowing others who were accepted)</p>
<p>Stanford- seems unlikely because your SAT’s are a bit low (only for the ivies and stanford/duke/uchicago/georgetown). You might apply to see what happens. You never know!</p>

<p>What do u mean his sat is too low hes in the top 75% at Stanford so stop overdoing sat’s remember that admissions officers look for a person not a number.</p>
<p>I know my SAT’s are weak for Stanford… My math should be at 700 to make me a better applicant, but I figured depending on how I use my business in my application, I have a small shot. Maybe 10% ? haha. I love Brandeis’ location, I love everything I’ve heard from students at Emory, and I love Davidson’s coupling of academics with sports at such a small school, not to mention Davidson’s tremendous financial aid support. </p>
<p>Thanks to both of you for your kind comments. They are very encouraging. If anybody else could offer positive or harsh feedback, I am certainly open. I know all these schools are difficult to be accepted into. My state school is UMD, which I applied to early action so I have that as a top option as well.</p>
<p>I’d definitely say you’re in at Davidson, but I’m not 100% sure of other schools. I come from a similar school and I know people who have been accepted (with fewer EC’s than you, might I add). Don’t worry about the SAT scores. A 2180 is pretty good. People on CC like to say anything under a 2250 sucks, when really people are getting into Ivy Leagues with 670’s and less on some sections. A 2250 does give you an edge, though.</p>
<p>I live a little outside of Davidson, but Davidson itself is gorgeous. NC is a pretty nice state if you forgive the weather. :)</p>
<p>Yeah, I’ve been to NC a few times before. I went vacationing in the Outer Banks last year 
I’m really hoping for at least two acceptances from these 4 schools. Emory and Stanford are the two most difficult to get into, so I won’t be surprised if I’m waitlisted and/or rejected at them. I’m going to try to get Brandeis, Davidson, and Emory applications in and paid for very soon; that way I will have at least a week to spend solely on Stanford’s supposedly comprehensive supplement. Might as well put all I can into my dream…</p>
