<p>Thanks a lot skyisblue and collgebound, I appreciate the input. I chanced you guys back too, hope it helps, :)</p>

<p>I agree with skyisblue and collgebound, you have very strong stats. I’d say you can definitely get into all of those schools, the only “Reach” may be Columbia or possibly Cornell.
Even though you’re not on any varsity teams, your EC’s are strong and will show your interests.<br>
With a 4.9 and nearly all AP classes with very strong SAT scores, I’d say you can probably get into your “reaches” too, but I don’t really have much knowledge on those two.</p>

<p>Could you look at mine when you get a chance?</p>

<p>Thanks soad and sorry it took me a while to chance you back. I know that Columbia, Penn (even with ED), and Cornell are definitely reaches for me but im hoping to get into Cornell at least. </p>

<p>Thanks yihanwang. I’m applying to engineering or CAS (if there is no engineering school) for all of the colleges. </p>

<p>And I need your link if you want me to chance you back.</p>

<ul>
<li>U Penn (applying ED): low reach (I think you have a very high chance of getting in)</li>
<li>Cornell: high match</li>
<li>Columbia: Low Reach</li>
<li>U Chicago: Match</li>
<li>Johns Hopkins: high match</li>

<p>Sorry am not familiar with the rest!</p>

<p>I think you have like a 90% chance to get into all the schools besides Penn & Columbia…maybe Cornell but I’d think Columbia is way more selective than Cornell~</p>

<ul>
<li>U Penn (applying ED): low reach. ED helps significantly</li>
<li>Cornell: match</li>
<li>Columbia: reach. Columbia will be the hardest thing on this list because you are RD</li>
<li>U Chicago: match</li>
<li>Emory: match</li>
<li>Vanderbilt: match</li>
<li>Northwestern: match</li>
<li>Johns Hopkins: in</li>
<li>Washington U. in St. Louis: match</li>
<li>Carnegie Mellon: match</li>
<li>NYU: match</li>
</ul>

<p>good gpa, Ok test scores, good leadership. A decent candidate for these schools.</p>

<p>U Penn and Columbia seem like the only reaches here, the rest matches. You seem well-rounded and have good everythings.</p>

<p>Thanks!- <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/803081-please-help-stats-match-but-just-few-hours-write-essays.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/803081-please-help-stats-match-but-just-few-hours-write-essays.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>your stats are so near perfect that its hard for anyone to say anything bad about you, those colleges cant think of a reason to not accept you, so screw all the people on here that say low reach for UPenn, u listed 11 schools and although its a lottery for those on the top, you should get into at least 7</p>

<p>chance me back at <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/801012-chance-me-i-will-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/801012-chance-me-i-will-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<ul>
<li>U Penn (applying ED): slight reach</li>
<li>Cornell: match</li>
<li>Columbia: reach.</li>
<li>U Chicago: average match</li>
<li>Emory: match</li>
<li>Vanderbilt: match</li>
<li>Northwestern: match</li>
<li>Johns Hopkins: safety </li>
<li>Washington U. in St. Louis: match</li>
<li>Carnegie Mellon: match</li>
<li>NYU: match</li>
</ul>

<p>Good luck!!</p>

<p>You have a very impressive resume :-). Just make sure that those eight clubs you are a member of are not just there for a laundry list; therefore, make sure you devote considerable amounts of time to each one. Besides that, the only thing I would suggest is to write some compelling essays to strengthen your chances. GL! Chance me? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/816473-chance-aa-female-elite-schools-updated-stats.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/816473-chance-aa-female-elite-schools-updated-stats.html&lt;/a&gt; <–Include Yale also!</p>

<p>U Penn (applying ED): low reach
Cornell: match
Columbia: reach
U Chicago: match
Emory: match
Vanderbilt: match
Northwestern: match
Johns Hopkins: match
Washington U. in St. Louis: match
Carnegie Mellon: match
NYU: match</p>

<p>chance me back please : )</p>

<p>Like everyone else has said, I think the only schools on your list that aren’t sure bets are UPenn and possibly Cornell and Columbia. :slight_smile: Good luck!! You have a really impressive resume!</p>
