<p>Schools:</p>

Brown University
Middlebury College
Skidmore College
UVM
Colgate University
Vassar College
Wesleyan University
Princeton/Yale/Harvard University</p>
<p>Thanks, dude.</p>
<p>I would say, based on your stats:</p>
<p>Williams College-ED Athlete?- if athlete planning to play in college, then extremely likely to be admitted
Haverford College- i would say in
Amherst College- hardest LAC to get into, i would say its a reach
Bowdoin College- maybe a slight reach
Colby College- i would say in
Brown University- slight reach, all depends on your essays and their relation to your ec's (if you show that you have passion in certain areas you have a likely shot) Browns the least number oriented ivy IMO
Middlebury College- very likely
Skidmore College- very likely
UVM- almost surely in
Colgate University- strong chance
Vassar College- very likely chance
Wesleyan University- very likely chance
Princeton/Yale/Harvard University- no for harvard, only thing holding you back is SAT scores. You really need to be like 2250+ for these schools and need legacy (which helps out tremendously). It's a high reach</p>
<p>you have a lot of good schools on your list and will enjoy whichever you eventually decide to attend. good luck.</p>
<p>i would say that the schools that match your stats well are: Brown, Haverford, Colgate, and Bowdoin</p>
<p>Awesome! Thanks!</p>

I've gotten into my safety schools</p>
<p>How about...
UMichigan Biomedical Engineering
Cornell CAS
Northwestern (#1 RD) CAS
NYU Stern or CAS
UPenn CAS</p>
<p>Thank you so much!</p>
<p>Could you just look at my link?? I'd appreciate it. a lot of my friends with better stats than me have been rejected from these schools (the ivies) early decision, so i am REALLY nervous.

<p>UMichigan Biomedical Engineering- yeah i think you are surely in (engineering summer intern should look very good)
Cornell CAS- might be waitlisted, i know a kid who had 1500+ on SAT and top 5 in class and got differed.. it just depends if you have what they are looking for. your ec summer intern may help you out here
Northwestern (#1 RD) CAS- i would say about like 60% chance
NYU Stern or CAS- yeah pretty good chance
UPenn CAS- i know a few kids who got into upenn with the same stats as you, so i would say that it is doable (if it was warton i would say no)</p>
<p>your rank kind of puts you down a little but hopefully everything else can make up for it (its not horrible, but not top notch)
good luck!</p>
<p>MIT is nearly impossible to get into, only top top top top top kids get in, uchicago is also very competitive</p>
<p>if i would rank your universities in most likely to get in to farthest reach it would go:
1.UMichigan Biomedical Engineering
2.NYU Stern or CAS
3.Cornell CAS
4.Northwestern (#1 RD) CAS
5.UPenn CAS</p>

<p>University of Maryland College Park (applied priority) - Visited: looks like you should be in
Barnard College - Interviewed, Visited: match/slight reach: slight reach
Emory University: high reach
Oxford College of Emory University: good chance
George Washington University - Visited:likely to be admitted/match
Gettysburg College: match!
Johns Hopkins University: high reach
New York University (CAS) - Visited: slight reach

<p>all of your schools seem like matches and in your league. for some though, your standardized test scores might fall a little to low, but remember thats not the only thing college adcoms look at so you still have a chance. good luck with everything! hope ya get in</p>
<hr>
<p>adil91:</p>
<p>1: University of Georgia: good chance!
2: Vanderbilt University: high reach (sorry=[)
3: Notre Dame: high reach but with your strong knowledge, ec's and test scores in history and your intended major its still doable
4: University of South Carolina:
5: University of Alabama: strong chance
6: LSU(Honors): likely
7: Florida State: very likely
8: Tulane: pretty sure you will get in</p>
<p>GPA is slightly low.. SAT scores and rigor look solid though! you look extremely strong in history though so you have a very good chance with a history/philosophy intended major! Your ec's relate as well which is a very good thing to have.</p>
<hr>
<p>WantingCuse:</p>
<p>Syracuse J-school (Newhouse): very good chance
Fordham Comm: very likely</p>
<p>I am not sure about the transfer acceptance percentages in syracuse and fordham but from what you have gave me, your stats fit in very well with the school's students. I think you have a good chance for both! Good luck!</p>
<hr>
<p>tisaak:</p>
<p>Southern Illinois University Edwardville: good chance
Georgetown University: i would say its a high reach (sorry=[)
George Washington University: match/slight reach.. but it is doable</p>
<p>overall, you have good ec's, gpa, and rank!!.. the ACT is where you falter.. have you ever tried taking the SAT and/or SATIIs? I would say for georgetown that is way to low, and gwu you might be able to get away with it. If your essays are solid and really show what you have passion for then i think you have a decent shot at gwu and SIU. First generation is a huge hook! best of luck!</p>
