If you could chance me for any/all of the following schools:

Thanks!

Your SAT score is relatively low for JHU, Princeton, Columbia and Cornell. YOu also lack quality ECs to be really considered but if you write compelling essays you might stand a chance. Plus you're asian which is not going to help. I would try the ACT to see if you can do well on it. The others are very much likely and I could see you getting aid from drexel or stony brook. Good luck

Chance me?

Chance me for OSU

I have a 1460 with the Math/CR so I think it's pretty decent. I checked Collegeboard and they said it's among the upper 50% for both. I'll try to write (3) good essays because of the 2 Supplements. Hopefully they see that I'll be a good candidate. For the Drexel, would I have a good chance at the 7 year?

colleges18

I forgot to add FBLA (2 years) and I got to state level for Word Processing I test. So, that would be an activity and an award I guess.

I think you have a good chance for Columbia and Cornell the mid 50% is around 1950-2250 for SATs and you will definitely get into Stony Brook.

colleges18

Yeah I looked at Cornell and it seems good, but I'm not sure about Columbia. I compared my grades to College Board and it showed that I was in the 25-30% of students for all 3 categories.

Bumping, I'd like more feedback please!

Reaches for JHU, GW
High Reaches Princeton, Columbia, Cornell

colleges18

So you think I'd be able to get into Drexel's 7 year program?

Bumping for more feedback please!

I have very similar stats as you in MANY ways its almost uncanny (2200 Superscore, 3.96 UW GPA, Top 3% of class) PLUS I also live in NJ and im also an Indian male. To add to that, im looking at the same exact majors and almost same schools too!!

I think you are a high match to GW, JHU and maybe Cornell and a Reach to Columbia and Stony Brook you r in (Unless you are applying to their 7yr program like I am then its like a match/high match)

colleges18

Dinomite: How do you think I'd compete in the Drexel 7 year program? And what's teh different between high match and just reach.

muckdogs07

Princeton & Columbia = high reach (less than 10% RD), Cornell & Hopkins = reach (less than 25%, but if you apply ED to either much better chance of close to 50/50), GWU, BU, Stony Brook = match. No idea re Drexel 7 year program.

colleges18

Yeah, I'm looking towards ED for Hopkins, hopefully I can get in. If I can't though, I got Drexel's 7 year and Cornell as a backup.

And I changed my list of colleges:
1) Drexel's 7 year program
2) Johns Hopkins University
3) Cornell University
4) Stony Brook University
5) George Washington University
6) Boston University
7) Rutgers University

Bumping for more chances with my new list of colleges.
