I agree, I think you'll get into everywhere, but Yale and Brown are unpredictable. You definitely have a good shot though.

Since I live in Maine, I know several kids who have gone to Bowdoin and Colby, and their stats weren't nearly as good as yours I'm sure. I think you'd have a very solid chance. If you haven't visited, just be warned that the locations are kind of isolated.

Bowdoin is adjacent to a much nicer town (Brunswick) than Colby, which is outside of Waterville--not a garden spot, but okay-- nicer than Lewiston (where Bates is). D is at Colby and LOVING it. The campus is really gorgeous, and she's finding that there is so much going on on campus every minute that town isn't a big issue. They do go on shopping runs, though, and go out to dinner (some good restaurants) and movies. And they've gone on some expeditions to Freeport and the beach. But it's not for the "bright lights, big city" type!

I think your in at most of them except of course reaches for Yale.
BTW did you take a rigorous course load in high school cause you only went up .1 from your uw GPA.

based on your ethnicity and your stats, you should get in just about anywhere. i dont see you having any problem getting into any schools.

great chances at all, only difficulties will be Brown, but Yale would probably be a little harder however both are likely

I know its a stretch...but one can dream:]

My Chances for Brown??

I think you have a good chance at all of them except Yale and Brown but I still think you have a decent chance to those. Im applying to Brown too (please chance me back)! but unfortunately ive heard that for the ivies its kind of a crap shoot like if your qualified it really just depends if the admission officer is in a good, or really likes your essay, etc.

you have a very very good chance in all everything seems pretty solid especially in the act area and your ec's i think yale might be a bit of a challenge and also brown but i think that otherwise everything else is pretty much a match ;]

chance me ;] my stats aren't as solid as yours though sorry ><
Could you chance me? I will chance back
