Yet another one... My Chances?

<p>Here's one more paranoid upcoming senior. How are my chances?</p>

<p>-Yale
-Swarthmore
-Columbia
-Vassar
-Wesleyan
-Northwestern
-UPenn
-NYU
-Hamilton</p>

<p>We don't do GPAs in my schools, but for my five subjects, I got 2 A's, 2 A-'s, and 1 B+, which is what I've been getting throughout high school, pretty much. I got 4s on my APs and have very strong extra curriculars.</p>

<p>SAT II, French: 740
SAT II, Literature: 730</p>

<p>SATs: 2200 (retaking in October)</p>

<p>I think ur in at everywhere except Yale, Columbia, and UPenn. Yale and UPenn are hard to get in for almost everybody so i would say they are high reaches and i think Columbia would probably be a reach.</p>

<p>UPenn was barely more competitive than Swarthmore this year. 13% compared to 17%. What are your extra currics?</p>

<p>Impossible to tell without extras. The Ivies + Swarthmore are very uncertain, even with good extras (they are simply very competitive schools). Your test scores are grades are very good, but not good enough alone to make your admission likely at the majority of the schools on your list--possible exceptions being NYU and maayyybe Hamilton (but I don't know very much about Hamilton, so if I'm wrong, I apologize). </p>

<p>You can look at my stats profile for a clearer picture, but I had better SAT scores, better AP scores, similar sounding grades, and at least okay extras (well, probably bad to people on this board, but you can judge for yourself), and I got rejected by Yale and Princeton, waitlisted by Columbia and Brown, and accepted everywhere else (Wellesley, Carleton, NYU ($ + Honor's Program), BC (Honor's Program), and Case Western Reserve (lots of $)). A lot depends on just what your "very strong" extras are, and than just luck/chance/whatever you want to call it.</p>
