<p>You’ve got great chances. I’d say the ivy’s are a reach, but you are good to go for the others.</p>

<p>You look goo for your list starting with NYU.</p>

<p>Competition for a white, upper middle class female from NJ will make the first 5 very tough without higher scores.</p>

<p>I’d have to say I agree with the two above posters. Applying ED to Brown might give you a little help, but it’s hard to say. Good luck!!</p>

<p>you have good chances as siad before the ivies are reaches for everybody raise your SAT to increase your chances.</p>

<p>Chance me please <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/776076-chances-bu-ed.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/776076-chances-bu-ed.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I think you have a fantastic shot at Brown. You’re rank is great and your SAT is good. This all depends on your SAT II’s, of course. May I recommend taking the Math Level 2?? It seems like most colleges like this test a lot. A couple of your EC’s seems like fillers but overall good shots!! </p>

<p>Thanks everyone! I’m currently taking a break from the last of my summer work, but when I’m done I’ll be sure to chance you all back. Is Wesleyan really that competitive?</p>

<p>You’ve got so many stellar EC’s that I’m literally drowning in them :stuck_out_tongue:
That being said, you’ve got an excellent chance at all of your choices - so don’t be too worried. Not much else to say here ^^</p>

<p>Gooooood luck!</p>

<p>Also, I always appreciate replies, if it doesn’t take too much trouble :smiley: - <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/776103-konnichiwa-mabuhay-clueless-japanese-filipino.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/776103-konnichiwa-mabuhay-clueless-japanese-filipino.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I think you are in for Brown on ED. Reach on Columbia and Penn. In everywhere else, though Swarthmore is tough.</p>

<p>Help me out!
