8

<p>Okay...please evaluate my chances at these schools:</p>

<p>Duke, Hopkins, Harvard, Penn, Cornell, Princeton, Northwestern, Brown, and MIT</p>

9

<p>I think University of Rochester and try their REMS program!</p>

10

<p>i think you have a great chance at all those...but MIT might not be the best choice i would say number 1 choice should be harvard then 2 john hopkins</p>

11

<p>pnthers11...arent u a freshman?</p>

12

<p>yea but i no that those grades and that sat plus really good ec's equalsacceptance to almost anywhere</p>

Cornell:55%
Princeton:30%
Northwestern:60%
Brown:35%
MIT: 20%</p>

14

<p>Can you explain your rankings Sheed?</p>

15

<p>bump!!!!!!</p>

16

<p>Duke:70%- Volunteer at local Hospital and Research Intern at the National Institute of Health this summer with National Cancer Institute makes your chances go through the roof
Hopkins:85%-They are big on straight up academics and you have great SAt scores and the best GPA one could ask for.
Harvard:30% - Just because it's Harvard. You have 3 times more of a chance than the average Harvard applier.
Penn:45% - You cant ever go over 40% with Penn.. however because you are not applying to Wharton it increases your chances.
Cornell:55% - It's Cornell, i am pretty sure you're in but since Cornell is an Ivy League school i couldn't say that.
Princeton:30%- People at Princeton are freaks.. but it's a possibility.
Northwestern:60% - Your most likely in because you're not going there for economics or business.
Brown:35% - Ivy league, what more can i say.
MIT: 20%- You have a better chance than most because of your placement in programming competition.</p>

<p>Hope that helped/</p>

<p>Duke and Brown aren't that different in terms of admissions...</p>

<p>Brown is definitely not harder to get into than Penn...</p>

</p>

<p>Brown has a lower acceptance rate and higher test scores. </p>

<p>And I seem to see a lot more acceptances of "sub-par" (at least in terms of ivy stats) students to Penn than Brown.</p>

<p>Yea, Brown is harder to get into as a whole. If you were applying to Wharton then i could see where you are coming from.</p>
