<p>this belongs in the "what are my chances" discussion forum, not here.</p>

3

<p>where is that forum located?</p>

<p>dont worry, the mods will move it for you.</p>

<p>you are definitely in at evergreen state college.</p>

<p>i would say most likely in at reed and oberlin. whats your unweighted gpa though?</p>

5

<p>I think you're a match for Reed (meaning 50/50 or so), but essay is very important, and interview is important. Reed looks for a good fit for their quirky culture.</p>

6

<p>In at UMich, ASU, Colorado, Denison, Kalamazoo and probably Colgate. Don't know that much about the others.</p>

7

<p>my unweighted gpa is prob sitting around a 3.6 - 3.7</p>

8

<p>Well im a young black male who made it in life,and your white it should be easy.</p>

<p>we have similar stats then. im also applying to reed and probably applying to oberlin. i visited reed this weekend, but i havent visited oberlin and probably wont get the chance to. have you visited?</p>

10

<p>no, i haven't visited either, but i will eventually be visiting oberlin. i live in michigan, so visiting reed might be tough. what did you think about reed andreaaaaaa?</p>

11

<p>hmmm i dunno about u chicago and maybe umich (but you're in state so it'll help)</p>

<ul>
<li>being out of top 10% and low uw gpa will hurt so i think in at most everywhere perhaps slight reach at u mich and high reach at u chicago</li>
</ul>

<p>Might want to look at Holy Cross-very good school 1 hour from Boston. HC is very similar to Colgate. Holy Cross also offers a great Classics/latin major.</p>

<p>and terry davis, i'm just now reading your comment...</p>

<p>that is perhaps the most ignorant thing i've ever read in my life</p>
