<p>You're definitely in the running for all of these schools, but for some (ie Brown, Cornell, Princeton) it's always a toss-up anyway. Write killer essays.</p>

3

<p>guys please.......i need some opinions</p>

4

<p>somebody just do a match, safety, reach, big reach thingy please...im dying here</p>

5

<p>umich is probably a safety if you live in michigan</p>

<p>princetons probably a reach, and the rest are probably match-reach except for cornell</p>

<p>thats just my guess</p>

6

<p>U Have No Shot At Any Of Those Schools</p>

<p>Good chances at all I'd say</p>

<p>Cornell - match/hard
Brown - reach
Duke -match
Rice - match/easy
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor - safety
Princeton - reach
Columbia - reach
Rice - safety
University of Washington in St. Louis - safety/match</p>

<p>Cornell- small reach
Brown- reach
Duke- reach
Rice- medium reach
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor- safety
Princeton- big reach (its a big reach for nearly everyone)
Columbia
University of Washington in St. Louis- small reach</p>

<p>You're asking the wrong question first...What you should ask is what you want to major in, then, after matching your major interest to the appropriate college, ask about chances. The schools you have on your current list are all pretty good, but they're a disparate bunch. Your academic ec's say math and science, but some of the schools on your list - Brown for example - are not especially noted for either. Some, of course, are. Princeton is very strong in math and physics. Wash U in St. Louis is very strong in biological sciences and pre-med, but not particularly strong in math. Get the picture? Find schools that match your interests first, then assess your chances.</p>
