<p>What is the point of a thread like this??? 2300+SAT, top 1% and your asking on what ivies to apply to? Do you really need someone to tell you are do you just want a compliment, if so...</p>
<p>Chemistry...that means you will be applying to the colleges of Arts and Sciences at all the Ivies. I would say all the Ivies are reaches when it coems to the colleges of Arts and Sciences.</p>
<p>why does it necessarily have to be some other ivies as there are many schools that you can get a great education. No matter how many others post, the one certaintly is that you are basically an unhooked applicant (not legacy urm, developmental admit, or athlete) that is tossing your hat in the ring and waiting to see how the process is gong to play it self out.</p>
<p>I would advise you to read through some of last years admissions stories as there were a number of equally bright high scoring, great EC kids who did not end up where they thought they would be (read the story of Andi's son, who had no schools). There are many variables to consider in selecting a freshman class and in the end it comes down to supply and demand. IF you have what the school is looking for when they build their freshman class then it is all good, if not hopefully you have some matches and safties to fall back on.</p>
<p>I agree that there would be no point served in retaking your SATs & concentrate more on figuring out what you would bring to each campus you're applying to & why you & the campus are a good match & conveying that in your college aps. There are intangibles like interest that can make the difference between an acceptance & rejection. When folks have great statistics like yours, the important thing is "fit" and convincing the school that you are a good fit & interested in attending if they accept you.
I agree it's useful to read the thread about andison (who had great stats but was inexplicably rejected by ALL schools). We must all love our safeties--schools we can afford & will likely get into.</p>
<p>btw, there is a sudent with a 35 on her ACTs from rural texas who plays basket ball the tuba and raises goats. The advice she is being given, have some reaches matches and safeties because nothing is a shoo-in. (this person could potentially knock you out of the box because she brings something different to the table).</p>
<p>sorry if this thread seemed pointless
but i guess i posted it becaz so many ppl around me look at my rank/gpa/scores and say that i should apply to more ivies
i'm not sure if that's true though because i guess u need to kinda know how u could contribute to that particular school
and that varies from ivy to ivy</p>
<p>well, i do have a lot of safeties/match schools (in my opinion)
but thanks for that advice u guys, i'll make sure to keep it in mind</p>
<p>This has been posted in numerous places. Some of those Ivy League schools accept less than 10% of their applicants. In the 90% of rejections...there are doubtless many qualified applicants. I don't think I would view schools with these types of acceptance rates as matches for anyone....unless you are donating substantial money to fund a building or their endowment. Almost everyone who applies to the Ivies has outstanding qualifications.</p>
<p>well, i'm not saying that an ivy would be a match
i was just asking what my chances were
but anyhoo, this thread is getting archaic
let's stop responding, or if u must, create a new thread and do it there</p>
