Hi toomuchsoul! Thanks for chancing me! Chance Me Please! Will Chance Back! (for others). Like you, I'm aiming high and whilst for anybody those universities you mentioned are reaches, I don't see why you dont stand a fair shot like the rest of us! Your SAT score is great and so are your extra curriculars but I think it is important for you to focus on showing depth and passion in a few of them rather than you have done everything. You're volunteering seems good too but remember it's not about the hours, its what you got out of it!! anyways good luck!

You definitely have good leadership and consecutive EC's. It looks like your scores are high enough to get in and take the most difficult course load available. As long as you really stand out in your essay, you appear to have great chances of acceptance! Good luck!

if you can find a way to connect your interests together to show more focus, i think you will have a good shot at columbia and penn. yale is more of a long shot.

Good GPA, ECs, and test scores.
Penn: high match/low reach
Brown: high match
Yale: low reach
Columbia: low reach

I think you look like a very unique and interesting candidate. I'd say that your chances are fairly good, but a lot of it just depends on who you might be up against. Overall, pretty impressive. It's always tough to get into those top schools no matter who you are, but you just gotta apply and see what happens! Even if you don't make it into all of the Ivies, I'm confident that you will make it into a very good school. Best of luck!

Also, please chance me back! Do I Have a Chance at Columbia? (Or Other Tough Schools)

Penn is pretty big on legacy so I'd say you have a good shot there. However, your ECs are pretty broad/generic

Apparently Penn has been rejecting more legacy applicants than it accepts.

Goodness! Great SAT Score. you have some great ec's and a double legacy going on! If you apply early decision, you should be fine. I don't understand your GPA scale, as mine is in a 4.0/5.0 scale. Anyhow, your stats look great and you should be fine!



If anyone gets an opportunity, please chance me - I'll chance back.
