<p>thanks for the help !!!</p>

<p>bump bump bump</p>

<p>i thought id bump this one last time.
hopefully ill get some replies...</p>

<p>i think
harvard ea - reach
u michigan - match
yale - reach
princeton - reach
georgetown match
upenn slight reach
n. western - match
brown - match
emory - safety match
tufts - safety match
gwu - safety match
boston u -safety match</p>

<p>Harvard EA: Slight Reach (~Legacy)
U Mich: Match
Yale: Match (Legacy)
Princeton: Reach
Georgetown: Match
UPenn: Match
Northwestern: Match
Brown: Match
Emory: Safety/Match
Tufts: Safety
GWU: Safety
Boston U: Safety</p>

<p>Also, you are not asking for any financial aid, which usually helps in increases your chances as well. Your ECs, Test Scores, Awards, and athletics are all solid.</p>

<p>omgg O_O ::jealous:: lol
harvard ea - reach
georgetown match
brown - match
tufts - safety
boston u -safety</p>

<p>I would seriously EA Yale instead of Harvard. You are like a lot of other candidates at both schools. Sorry, but nothing stands out and your SATI score is lower than they'll be looking at from scores of Asian candidates. The legacy status might pull you in. Otherwise I'd say your chances at HY and P without being a legacy are maybe 15%.</p>

<p>You're a good candidate at the others.</p>

<p>^I agree..</p>
