I'm completely useless as far as all this chancing goes, but...

"He's also gay/bump!"

HAHAHAHA. That made me laugh.

Pretty good shot at Stanford EA, great shot at Columbia ED.

haha I hear colleges have an affinity for gays (adds diversity).

I think you should EA Stanford.

It really depends which school you like better because you'll get into both.

Columbia ED - match/high match if legacy is for reach
Stanford - reach for all but still good shot

MrPrez · 07-14-2008, 11:44 PM

Stanford = reach
columbia = better chance

You have great E.C.'s, no doubt. I would question the SAT II scores but I don't think it's too big of a deal.

I would say you're definitely in Columbia. As for Stanford, it's a crapshoot for all but I'm leaning towards in.

For HYP--reach/crapshoot, depending on your essays & recommendations. The rest of the schools will likely be matches/safeties.
