<ul>
<li>Princeton- Reach, as you stated. You have as good a chance as most anyone</li>
<li>Dartmouth- Low(er) Reach, Its an Ivy so its really hard to say match. You have great scores though.</li>
<li>Brown- Similar to Dartmouth, same idea, slightly higher reach.</li>
<li>Brandeis- Match</li>
<li>Middlebury- Match</li>
<li>Villanova- Match</li>
<li>U of Rochester- Not sure</li>
<li>SUNY @ Geneseo- Not sure</li>
</ul>

<p>You have a great GPA, etc. Great ACT score. Maybe retake the SAT Subject tests again. If you can break 750 youll be much better of for the upper schools. </p>

<p>good luck!</p>

<p>Great GPA, ACT. Work on SAT IIs (Princeton requires a minimum of three anyway)</p>

<p>Princeton- Take the SAT IIs. Reach regardless of score (although obviously less so with higher score, it just is with most everyone).
Brown- slightly higher than Dartmouth, but I’d say Low Reach.
Dartmouth- Low Reach</p>

<p>I think you’re a match or in at all of the following (my lack of knowledge at each individual makes me unable to delineate):
Brandeis
Middlebury
Villanova
U of Rochester
SUNY @ Geneseo</p>

<p>Chance back?

<p>You probably need a safety. Maybe apply to Binghamton or Stony Brook.</p>

<p>Princeton no longer requires three SAT IIs.</p>

<ul>
<li>Princeton- Reject</li>
<li>Dartmouth- Reach, better chance than Pton</li>
<li>Brown- Low Reach, better chance than D.</li>
<li>Brandeis-Match</li>
<li>Middlebury- Low Reach, similar to Brown </li>
<li>Villanova- Low Match</li>
<li>U of Rochester- Safety</li>
<li>SUNY @ Geneseo-Safety </li>
</ul>

<p>Very good stats, although you really have no discriminating extracurriculars. It seems you are spreading yourself thin.</p>

</ul>

<p>Thanks a lot to everyone who chanced me! I kind of refuse to retake any of my SAT II’s because I don’t feel like studying so hard to only improve by a couple of points anyways. Similar to the ACT. </p>

<p>@ Ankered: Princeton only requires two now =]]
@ Logic: I may end up applying to another SUNY as a safety… but I feel like that I blow away Geneseo’s standards, so it’s not necessary.</p>

<p>Anyone else have an opinion?</p>

<p>I would add more high matches and low reaches. Low reaches like Northwestern, Rice, Bowdoin, Gtown and high matches like Emory. Also might look at some lacs like Colgate or Vassar.</p>

Dartmouth- Low Reach
Brown- High match/low reach

U of Rochester- IDK

<p>Your ACTs are amazing! And your EC’s are looking really good! Seriously, that amount of community service is very impressive, I agree with the other posters, add more schools and more possibilities! :)</p>

<p>Thanks to everyone! I chanced the both of you back.</p>

<p>@ aflorian/slipper: I can’t apply to any more than 8 schools, so I’m somewhat limited. Maybe if I can influence my parents… haha =]</p>

<p>Any others?</p>

15

<p>I wouldn’t really expect fin aid at most of those schools with your income. Maybe princeton willl igve you some, but the rest I doubt it.</p>

16

<p>@ danijinc: I have pretty large extenuating circumstances that will probably help me get more aid including father’s marriage to another women and having a child, business near bankrupcy and huge mortgages left on two houses to pay off and a brother attending college next year. I’ll be okay for most of the schools, thanks for your concerns.</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>

<p>I think that you will get into one or two of the ivies not sure which though. Good luck!</p>

18

<p>There are some serious flaws in a lot of the advice that you’re getting, although I’m not sure I could do much better. People are responding who don’t have a good understanding of the level of selectivity of all these schools. Just my two cents worth.</p>

19

<p>@ arcadia: I know that chanceing is kind of a shot in the dark, but I like to see what people think about my chances.</p>

<p>Any more?</p>
