Tell me I'm not dreaming...take a look

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'd rather be dissapointed now than in next April...is this list too hopeful? I want to make sure I have a balanced list of gaurenteed acceptances to good reaches.
I figured other CCers would give the best advice...so here goes nothing:</p>

<p>Hamilton
Cornell - CAS
Colgate
Colby
Bowdoin
Bucknell
Holy Cross
U Michigan AA
Dickinson - EA
BC-EA
Notre Dame-EA
Northwestern (I am most likely going to apply ED, will that help?)</p>

<p>Stats: White Male
16/400 ~ 3.75 UW/4.69 W
700 Math 680 Verbal 680 Writing
4 Year V. Bball - 2 year starter, NHS, Spanish H society, scholor athlete awards/ various community service activities. Nothing that can be considered a hook, but nothing that I think will hurt me too greatly.</p>

<p>Be brutally honest now, I will be thankful to hear it now and not in April. I should probably shorten my list a little, are there any schools that I have no chance at? Or are there any that you think are too easy and that I should aim higher?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance, help a newbie to the admissions game out.</p>

<p>you are not dreaming. keep your GPA up, you've got a shot everywhere.</p>

<p>hey thanks man...thats great to hear. I am worried about the low SAT I score so I will be taking it again in April. I also have to take SAT IIs but many of those schools do not require them so I am less worried about that.</p>

4

<p>yea work on your classes, any ap/honors?</p>

5

<p>This year I have all honors with one AP. Next year I will take 5 core classes (All AP) and marketing.</p>

6

<p>Can anyone give guesses to which ones I will be accepted to and which ones will be rejections?</p>

<p>My advice is to retake the SAT. If you can boost it 100pts my bet is you'll get into NU ED.</p>
