<p>My ECs are OK...</p>
<p>Anyway, the GC at our school kind of pushed me to apply for these super, super reach schools...</p>
<p>Ouch on the suspensions... I have an OOS 2-day that I'm pretty unhappy about...</p>
<p>it doesnt hurt THAT much...</p>
<br>
<p>_> I'm a pretty far reacher too.</p>
<br>
<p>3.3 UW/3.94 W. Lots of Cs my sophomore year, because I wasn't a competitive/studious student then. Ha. I've changed a lot.
2190 SATs (I took December, and have fingers crossed.)
790 Korean, 770 IIC, 710 Literature, 770 Writing.
Sure, lots of activities. Not sure if they STAND OUT enough.</p>
<p>Amherst, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Duke, Emory, Pomona, Wellesley, Yale.
I have others, but those would be among the top of my list.</p>
<p>Now those are reaches.</p>
<p>Needless to say, I am braced for the stream of rejection letters to come spring. But hey, I have 19 schools. Chances are, I'll get accepted to at least one. I have safeties, anyways.</p>

<p>ugh.</p>
<p>im applying to harvard and princeton.</p>
<p>my stats are like:
4.0 uw. 2180 sat1.</p>
<p>=[</p>
<p>I think that applying as an UG to those schools is scarier...</p>
<p>cy_sunset, i meant that i don't really think those are reaches. well...what i mean is, you have decent stats.</p>
<p>Oh please namkim. 4.0 UW? Clearly this thread isn't for you.</p>
<p>I'm applying to Dartmouth RD with a 3.9 GPA and a 1990 SAT.</p>
<p>a LOT of you guys, it's not really a reach...really, trust me.</p>
<p>^ Yeah, I mean, so far I've only seen a few REAL reaches, I have a 3.5/4.02 GPA, only top 12% rank, and a 30 ACT and I'm trying to get into Tufts, I think that's a pretty good reach.</p>
<p>Vanderbilt, Boston U, NYU, Michigan</p>
<p>ACT: 25
uw GPA: 3.6 w: 4.10
5 APs, honors classes, decent ECs and recs</p>
<p>my scores are so pathetically low that i dont even think they will look at me. im like the definition of a reach!</p>
<p>basically if they don't read my essays first I'm toast. They are by far my strong suit. And everyone knows it goes the other way around, stats first :(</p>
<p>3.8 uw gpa, only in the top 18 percent of my class...applying to harvard and dartmouth</p>
<p>what?? duffman, how can you be ranked so high? i have a 3.7 uw but i'm like in the top 38%. and believe me, no grade inflation at my school. i would be extrememly happy to be in top 12%. i'm also applying to tufts. uhhh, so i win.</p>
<p>^ I've taken 10 AP's, so, I guess that's why I am top 12%</p>
<p>Also, there are ~550 people in my class.</p>
<p>Barnard, NYU</p>
<p>GPA: 3.6 (bad math grades but all honors/ap classes)
