<p>Ahhh I forgot the SAT IIs.
Chem - 760
Math 1 - 770
USH - 700</p>

<p>I think you’ll do fine, of course I’m sure you know that the higher ones are pure chance, but you definitely have a shot.</p>

5

<p>Your scores and EC’s are quite incredible. i think you are for sure into JHU, CMU, and Wake Forest and have very good chances at Cornell, UPenn, and Duke. Regarding the others, people always say that the top top schools are always pure chance. i guess thats true but, @ankles, does that mean that when it comes down to it, it’s just up to chance really because everyone is highly qualified for admission?</p>

6

<p>that’s exactly what I mean, there are an abundance of qualified students and we can only leave it to fate’s wheel.</p>

<p>Why are you worried? Your stats are great! While it may be hard to get into some of those schools, it seems as if you have a great future ahead of you. Here’s some of my thoughts (based on what I know):</p>

<p>JHU–Match
Harvard–Low Reach
Yale–Low Reach
Dartmouth–Low Reach
Cornell–Reach
UPenn–Reach (maybe match?)
Duke–Match
Wake Forest–Match
CMU–Match
Brown–Reach</p>

<p>Chance me?

<p>^Yale and Harvard are low reaches and Brown is a reach??? And Penn is possibly a match?? Lets be real here OP, your chances aren’t too high as your EC’s are not focused, how much time did you really spend per week on each of those EC’s and how many wks per year? Just seems like a laundry list to me. Your stats are good, but most of the ivies are a reach for you. Cornell may be a high match. consider ED at one of these Ivies to bolster chances.</p>

<p>

^im srry but this is one of the worst chance responses i’ve ever seen. OP i suggest you disregard this, as this will get your hopes up.</p>

<p>This is what I realistically think my chances are
JHU–High Match
Harvard–Reach
Yale-- Reach
Dartmouth–Low Reach
Cornell–Low Reach
UPenn–Low Reach
Duke–Low Reac
Wake Forest–Match
CMU–Match
Brown–Reach </p>

<p>RADtomato47: I’m not exactly sure why this looks like a laundry list? sure, i guess i’m not nationally competitive in anything, but i feel like i’ve displayed a good science focus, with hints of leadership throughout. Anyway, I do appreciate the criticism.</p>
