<p>schools i'm looking at: NYU, Columbia, UChicago, Emory, UC Berk, UPenn, Northwestern</p>

<p>current school: University of Georgia(honors program)
college GPA: 3.77 (2 honors classes)
high school gpa: 3.7ish
sat score: 2210 (770M, 690CR, 750W)
sat 2's: 760 Math1, 700Math2, might retake others if it's worth it
ECs- decent and well-rounded with sports, clubs, and internships/employment but nothing remarkable</p>

<p>any feedback is appreciated</p>

<p>cmon give me advice!</p>

3

<p>What is your financial situation? Can you afford NYU which gives lousy FA? If you’re a GA resident, are you willing to pay 50k to attend UCB?</p>

4

<p>thats not what im worried about right now.</p>

5

<p>I agree with entomom. You will have no problem getting into the universities you listed but you should take the cost of attending them into consideration.</p>

6

</p>

<p>The OP will have no problem getting into Columbia, UPenn, and UChicago?</p>

<p>As much as I hope you are right, I believe you are completely wrong.</p>

7

<p>I am not saying that he has 100% chance of getting in but he definitely stands a decent chance. Both his GPA and SAT scores are excellent.</p>

<p>Where the heck did you get that from:</p>

<p>LOL relax for some reason I thought you did say what I said to him</p>

10

<p>right now i’m concerned with acceptance
and i’m aware that this</p>

<p>“You will have no problem getting into the universities you listed but you should take the cost of attending them into consideration.”</p>

<p>is just flat out incorrect</p>

<p>Emory/Uchi/Uberk/NYU = good chance
NW= ok chance
Penn and Columbia are reaches, Columbia more so.
Why not add Brown if FA is not a concern? Or Cornell (not FA related but its a good match).
Columbia’s very fit oriented (as can be seen by its accept rate).
Pretty much every school you listed has an accept rate of 15-30%, except columbia, which is at 6%.</p>

<p>You have to contribute something, bring an interesting talent, be interested in an unpopular major, etc. to have a shot at columbia. I don’t think generic ECs will cut it.</p>
