Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>hi guys</p>

<p>i'm tryin for an ivy league education.</p>

<p>in igcses (gr 9 -10) i got 6 As, 2 A*S and 1 B</p>

<p>My SAT score is 2220 (same percentage as 1480 on the old SAT)</p>

<p>Percentiles for Math - 97% (730)</p>

<p>And Verbal - 94% (690)</p>

<p>And Writing - 800</p>

<p>Extra curricular activities..i haven't really put everything together but i know for sure im not as involved as some ppl are..i do a few things but ths it</p>

<p>Wonderin how i would fare...Not really trying for Harvard...but Columbia would be great..even Stanford's awesome</p>

<p>ANd btw i realise that ivy league is jus a name like a brand or a make...it's not necessarily the best...harvard's way overrated so many ppl say tht...so im not only lookin at ivy league but colleges like carnegie mellon etc too which are awesome</p>

<p>You have a strong shot at Carnagie Mellon as long as your math score is in the 700s.</p>

3

<p>and others - ivy league or top rankd? lol i've seen u bein very negative. prefer ure not like tht wit me.</p>

4

<p>OK, than I think you're a shoo in for the ivies.</p>

5

<p>Not really negative... more like honest and reasonable...</p>

6

<p>Basically a 1420, no chance at an ivy. Sorry.</p>

7

<p>What are you interested in? Take a look at some LAC's.</p>

8

<p>I think you probably have a good shot at Carnegie-Mellon (sp?)..I don't think it would be a bad idea applying to a couple like Cornell. I say if you have dream school definintely apply. It's hard to tell exactlly what adcoms are looking for these days.</p>

9

<p>i'm interested in an economics major. whats LACs?</p>

10

<p>btw another question. are all ivy leagues equally difficult to get into? say comparing cornell to harvard. i'm sure therez a clear difference.</p>

11

<p>No, all ivies are the same difficulty to get into even though their acceptance percentages range from 11-25% or so and their average SAT scores and GPAs differ. You obviously already knew the answer, why would you even ask?</p>

12

<p>lol i wudnt hav askd if i knew. it jus feels like therz a difference.</p>
