<p>Supplemental essays should be nice.</p>

<p>No hooks or legacies :(</p>

<p>Chances for Ivies (most likely Columbia ED), Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, UChicago, etc...</p>

<p>UChicago and all Ivies are going to be reaches (except Cornell, a low reach for you), JH is a low reach, and Gtown is a high match. </p>

<p>Good luck :)</p>

<p>Ivies: all reaches (as for everyone)
UChicago: reach
JHU: low reach
GTown: low reach</p>

<p>Ivies & UChicago: Reaches
JHU: Low Reach
Georgetown: High Match/Low Reach</p>

5

<p>just some background that I forgot: I’m a white male from New Jersey. Income ~ 50K</p>

6

<p>Columbia ED- Reach (you have a shot but its a reach for pretty much everyone)
Johns Hopkins- match
Georgetown-match
UChicago-low reach</p>

<p>You have a very good shot at all these but I would still suggest a safety or two.
Good luck! :slight_smile:

<p>Luke everyone else said, they’re pretty much all reaches. I’d be surprised if you didn’t get into at least three though.
Do mine?<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?p=16334680#post16334680[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?p=16334680#post16334680&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I’d say almost all reaches except for Georgetown and JHU. Best of luck!</p>

<p>Also, i’d appreciate if you could do mine :slight_smile: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1548569-ucsd-ucla-usc-usd-i-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1548569-ucsd-ucla-usc-usd-i-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Your ECs show universities that you are not committed, you just join everything which they don’t like</p>

10

<p>I’d say you have a fairly good chance at any of these places. You are ranked # 1 in your large class, your GPA is fantastic, and you have a tremendous amount of EC’s, which is great! You are a very well rounded fella. Best of luck to you!</p>

<p>Chance me too if you’d like! Just posted few minutes ago!</p>
