<p>So chance away guys and if you want a chance back, just let me know
Btw, if you have any suggestions for similarly tiered schools that you feel would match me, let me know! I am going for business, not sure which particular field yet but considering: i banking, venture capitalism, and entrepreneurship.</p>
<p>I threw up a little in my mouth when I read that your GPA was a 4.7 and you’re only 10th in your class. I wish I could be more help with the Ivy schools, but basically everyone with your qualifications could be accepted or rejected- I think your amazing EC’s (and your shadowing) set you apart. As far as the schools you listed under UChicago I think you’re in. The ones above that I think you should def apply then keep your fingers crossed. Even people with perfect scores, GPA, EC’s can’t say with any degree of certainty the will be accepted. But I think your shot it good!!!</p>
<p>Your ec’s are pretty amazing and that will set you apart from the rest. Your GPA and rank are very good as well but your tests scores are just a wee bit low. That said, I still think you have a good-to-great chance at these schools. </p>
<p>NYU Stern is an extremely competitive business school, I strongly recommend you research it.</p>
<p>I say you have a shot at the non ivys, those schools are such crap shots for anybody with scores like you. You have a great shot at chicago though</p>
<p>Cornell and UChicago are all low reaches. UPenn Wharton and Stanford are also reaches but you def stand out and will be competitive for admission at those schools.</p>
<p>Can’t say much about UCLA or UC-B, I don’t know enough about those two.</p>
<p>I think you have an excellent chance at Notre Dame and Northwestern – I wouldnt dare to say they’re “in” for you but your odds at those two are great. I’d say you’re in at UT Austin and UVA.</p>
<p>Dude… you got some cool ECs. I really wish I could do all those things, but apparently WITC (wisconsin indianhead technical college) is good enough for anyone who graduates from my high school…
I think the thing that stands out most to me is that you didn’t just work at a soup kitchen, but you ORGANIZED IT. That’s cool.
As far as I’m concerned, Stanford is the only reach on this list. Good luck with the essays!</p>
