5

<p>Cornell-Reach
Penn-Reach
Princeton- Uber reach</p>

<p>Living in Kentucky helps a little but it's still a toss up</p>

6

<p>im sick of these 4.0'ers.</p>

7

<p>really really really low matches at all of them</p>

8

<p>Class rank and breakdown of SAT scores?</p>

9

<p>princeton- match
upenn- match/safety
cornell- safety
tranny- match</p>

10

<p>I think you should take your SAT's again and get above a 2200....your E.C's are great</p>

11

<p>yeah kentucky helps...Cornell and Penn are possibly low matches..P'ton's a reach. Bumping up the SATs 100 pts or so would do wonders for you, considering the fact that you have very nice ecs.</p>

<p>oh, and i second amptron2x.</p>

<p>Change that:</p>

<p>Cornell- match/little bit of a safety
Penn- low reach if you apply RD, and even less of a reach if you apply ED
Pton- SUPER DUPER ULTRA MEGA GIGANTIC REACH</p>

13

<p>i'll be a little more generous on penn and prınceton,</p>

<p>penn- ED high match
prınceton- rech (not uber or super duper, etc.)</p>

14

<p>I'm in the top 5 percent of my class...</p>

15

<p>ummm...... i think that you can get accepted to cornel, but a reach for penn and princeton</p>

16

<p>Michelle: yeah, but your school stinks</p>

17

<p>Just to let you know, because your school might not be as good as others in your state, your achievements (top 5%, etc) are taken with more precaution than that a person from a very competitive school.</p>

<p>So, to show that you are "good" and not just an average person in a bad school, you should definitely try to improve your SAT I scores and get good (>750s) on SAT II's. Additionally, take advantage of as many honors/AP's as you can.</p>

<p>Good luck :)</p>
