<p>So, as you can see, a lot of my extracurriculars started later in my high school career. Does that affect my chances significantly? Are there any I should definitely avoid putting down?</p>

<p>I'd really like to know my chances for Stanford, Princeton, Yale, Dartmouth, Brown, WashU, Cornell, Amherst, and UCLA... Any help would be greatly appreciated! :D</p>

<p>Furthermore, I know this is the wrong board/forum, but would it be possible for you to list some schools I should consider within my range/reach? I really think the Ivies are but a dream...</p>

<p>Solid academics and test scores. Nothing is lacking there. Rather standard extra curriculars: certainly not bad, but nothing outstanding among top tier institutions. I would definitely say that HYPSM (the tippedy top) are all reaches. As are Dartmouth and Brown, but less so. Cornell could be a low reach, but honestly, I don’t know why people seem to take it as such. It’s still an Ivy, so I’m on the fence as to how to treat it. I’d say Wash U and Amherst are high matches for you, and UCLA a safety. You have a definite shot at Ivies though. I think if you apply, you should get into at least one.</p>

<p>Hmm, I though WashU was still incredibly selective, almost more so than the lower Ivies? Well, thank you! It’s good to know that I still have a chance. :)</p>

<p>Does anyone else have an opinion on this? I’d like to get some more ideas, so I can know what to apply to. Any suggestions on good schools in my reach would be nice, too. ^^</p>
