<p>Bumperize this</p>

<p>Cornell: Decent chances</p>

<p>Princeton, Harvard: ???</p>

<p>Might look at a school like Holy Cross(don’t have to be religious}very good school with nice campus 1 hour from Boston. Holy Cross has good computer science department and a January 15th application due date. HC has one of the best alumni networks-helps in job placement and has a great combination of academics and athletics.</p>

<p>Thanks, I’ll check it out sounds pretty cool. Any other opinions are appreciated.</p>

<p>I’m not sure about Harvard/Princeton because you need to be scary amazing for them, but lower tier Ivies, possibly. Maybe you should consider non-Ivy schools that are still good, like Stanford or CMU?</p>

<p>I think you will get into Cornell. The only thing is no 5’s on your AP’s. That’s okay though.
Chance back?</p>

<p>@fleurebelle, Stanford’s too far and CMU is too expensive =. Just applying to H/P to make sure that I get rejected somewhere and the off chance I get in. Thanks spicyhot, hopefully the AP scores won’t come into play too much, didn’t know they mattered at time of taking them lol. I’ll chance back.</p>

<p>Harvard, Princeton-10% chance. Cornell-30% chance. Nothing says ivy, I’m seeing state flagship honors college.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply Waverly, any particular reasons why you think I have such low chances at Cornell? My scores are above average for each school and I have a 4.0, what in particular did you think didn’t say Ivy(just curious)? And wow you have 24 posts a day how do you manage that?</p>
