What're my chances @ these Ivy Leagues (Yale, Cornell, Dartmouth, Princeton, UPenn)?

<p>^^^^^ Thats a little harsh, but I think the Sats will hurt you. Keep it in perspective, kids with better sat scores, and hooks (urm, legacy, athlete) will be applying.....</p>

<p>You should apply, because you never know....but don't get your hopes up....Good Luck!</p>

<p>I was ELC recognized. And I rank 34/706, made a typo.</p>

<p>First of all DCK, you're in no position to tell someone if they will or will not DEFINITELY get in somewhere, so shutup; for all you know, this kid may have one leg, live in a cardboard home, and write a wonderful essay about how he lives. </p>

<p>To be honest ivy, your SATs are pretty low, and it does seem as though you have an easy school. You MIGHT hit cornell but the ivies are.... y'know.</p>

<p>I would say to disregard the negativity of what ppl on here are saying, it doesn't help so it does not matter.</p>

<p>If you are a senior then I do not know exactly what to tell you, except that you should diversify your list to ensure that you are accepted (i.e. get a safety).</p>

<p>If you are a junior (or if any of your colleges will accept it) take the ACT, the next one is in like Feburary and maybe some schools will accept it. The ACT in my opinion is MUCH easier (i got 2070 on the SAT, but a 34 on the ACT) so definitely try it out. Your rank is probably a bigger issue as to get into these schools it requires a very high class rank.</p>

<p>In reality your chances are not extraordinarily high, but you obviously have accomplished great things. I mean your SAT score is still like what in the 95th percentile, these colleges do not matter as much as many ppl think. Many successful ppl go to state colleges and the vast majority of CEOs do as well. You'll get a good education at many schools and you are easily in at about like 98% of the colleges in america.</p>

<p>College is about life not academics so remember that.</p>

<p>I agree with DBate-- the ACT is easier. 34 on the ACT and 2130 on the SAT. Are you planning on pursuing a degree past the Bachelor's? If so, getting an undergraduate degree from an Ivy will wipe out a good deal of your money (or your parents' money :) ). You're more than good enough for schools like Purdue and UIUC.</p>

<p>Apply to realistic reaches. I don't see you getting into any Ivy.</p>
