<p>This thread should put a different spin on the typical chances thread. Instead of one person posting their stats and having an extremely long post, this is a continuous chain of each person evaluating the chances of the poster above them. The posts are to brief, just giving the basic stats. Here is what should be in your post.</p>
<p>1.) List of schools (only pick up to 5 b/c these posts need to be short)
2.) Description of High School
3.) SAT / ACT (you may include SATIIs)
4.) GPA (indicated if it's weighted or not)
5.) class rank (if your school doesn't rank, give your decile)
6.) EC's and awards, Don't list them. Just rate them w/the following scale (please be honest):</p>
<p>Outstanding
Very Good
Decent
Poor
Non-existent</p>
<p>7.) Extra: List anything that you think benefit you in the admissions process (legacy, recruited athlete, minority status, hard couse load, etc.)</p>
<p>Here is my post:</p>
<p>Schools: NYU Steinhardt, Lehigh, Fordham, St. John's University</p>
<p>High School: Very Well Known, competitive, Catholic in NYC
SAT: M: 710 / CR: 640 / WR: 680 / (2030)
GPA: 96.4 Weighted
Rank: 21/278
EC's: Decent
Extra: Took pretty hard courses, almost all Honors w/6 APs</p>
<p>The next poster would list his/her opinions of the chances of the poster above. An example of a response to the post above would be:</p>
<p>NYU: slight reach
Lehigh: reach
Fordham: match
St. John's: safety </p>
<p>Then put your own stats to be chanced by the poster below you. This should be an ongoing chain of chances posts.</p>
<p>I'd agree with you here:
NYU: slight reach
Lehigh: reach
Fordham: match
St. John's: safety </p>

<p>Man, I thought this idea would catch on. Oh well, I'll guess I'll do another post w/different schools. Here's what I think of your chances Sen. Someguy:</p>
<p>Brandeis (ED) - Match
Georgetown - Slight Reach/High Match
George Washington - Low Match
Boston U. - Low Match
Northeastern - Very Low Match/Safety</p>
<p>Schools: Stevens Institute, CUNY Baruch Honors
High School: Very well known, competitive, Catholic in NYC
SAT: M: 710 / CR: 640 / WR: 680 / (2030)
GPA: 96.4 Weighted (about a 92/100 unweighted)
Rank: 21/278
EC's: Decent
Extra: Took pretty hard courses, almost all Honors w/6 APs. One of my recs is from my physics teacher who went to Stevens.</p>
<p>Come on now, there has to be more people. The game hasn't ended yet.</p>
<p>Sorry i dont know these schools, but heres my stats</p>
<p>Schools: UCB, UCLA, Stanford, Cornell
High School: #2 in California; competitive public
SAT 2150 single sitting, 2250 cumulative
GPA: 4.18 UC, 4.15 regular weighted
Rank: Top 25%
EC's: very good
Extra: toughests courseload possible</p>
<p>UCB and UCLA are good matches
Stanford and Cornell are super-slight reaches-I don't know what those particular extracirricular activities are. Not being in the top 10% might hurt you, but being in one of the best schools in your area probably cancels that out.</p>
<p>African-American male
3.72 GPA weighted
26 ACT Composite
Rank: 7/85
No AP courses(none are offered at my school)
One year of Honor classes(honor classes in name only, none this year)
Quite a bit of community service including:</p>
<p>An artist's representation of how a portion of Detroit(the city where I reside) could look if the city gave an organization that specializes in "beautifying Detroit" was given a large grant.</p>
<p>Teaching an art class.</p>
<p>Also, one of my pictures is being used as the cover of a soon-to-be published book. I guess I'm about to be an illustrator as well. I'm going to start tutoring middle school children this year as well.</p>
<p>DaRareBlackNerd, I don't know about Bennington, but UMich is a slight reach b/c its ACT range is 26 - 31. However, you are a minority which helps.</p>
<p>This is my 3rd post on this board, but my college list has expanded after my counselor recommended some schools. I might just start posting random schools to satisfy my own curiosity. So here's another pair:</p>
<p>Schools: SUNY Binghamton (in-state), Rutgers (out-of-state)
Stats are same as previous posts (2030 SAT, 96 GPA, decent EC's, etc.)
I never mentioned that I am awaiting the results of SATII U.S History and Math IC that I took in November. Hoping to break 650 on U.S. amd 700 on Math.</p>
<p>Avant-garde, you are the first person on CC who has said NYU is a match for me. I always figured I had a decent chance of getting in, but everyone kept saying it was a reach. Finally someone puts me at ease.</p>
<p>jovenes132-
match for vanderbilt, bc, match/slight reach for jhu and nd</p>
<p>1.) Princeton, Stanford, UChicago, Amherst, MIT
2.) Sightly Competitive Small Public High School (top 20 in New Jersey, 3% to ivies)
3.) SAT should be around 2300-2350
4.) GPA- 4.0 uw
5.) top decile
6.) outstanding (extensive music competitions, passion for culture/volunteering with that too, officers of various clubs, tennis)
7.) Extra: legacy at Stanford, hard course load. total betwen 15-20 APs, finished real analysis by end of senior year</p>
<p>Hepstar: I'm don't really know what I am talking about, but I would think that you will definitely be okay with Rutgers and should be in the ball park, or maybe a slight reach, for SUNY Binghampton.</p>
<p>GPA: 4.0 (unweighted)
Class rank: Top 5%
SATs: M: 670 V: 750 W: 800
EC's: Very Good, limited but dedicated
Extras: If the College has an Intercollegiate Equestrian Team (Dartmouth, Dickinson, and Amherst I think) I could try for recruitment.</p>
<p>09xoxo, please chance me for Binghamton and Rutgers.</p>
<p>I'll chance you now. With the schools you picked, there is no guarantee you'll be accepted into any of them. If you do get a 2300 SAT like you think you will, I'd say you'll get into UChicago, Amherst, and Stanford b/c of your legacy ststus. Princeton and MIT are too unpredictable.</p>
<p>Here are another two schools to be chanced:</p>
<p>Lafayette, SUNY Stony Brook (in-state)
Stats can be found in other posts</p>
<p>I don't know if this matters, but I always seem to get letters and brochures from Lafayette. Please chance me (yet again!).</p>
<p>All of a sudden, a great influx of people are posting on this thread. It's hard for me to keep up. Mugenxtsubasa here are my thoughts on your chances:</p>
<p>Stanford: Probably a Reach
Amherst: Slight reach/Match
Dickinson: Low match
Dartmouth: Slight Reach</p>
<p>These chances could all change if you are really that good at equestrian.</p>
<p>I'd say you have an excellent shot everywhere; however nothing is certain at these super selective schools...</p>
