<p>Just so you know, chance threads are not accurate at all. No one on CC can tell you that you’re into a school.</p>

<p>There is advice that I can give to you however.</p>

<p>For WUSTL, Cornell, Columbia, Tufts, your stats don’t cut it. Unless you’re an athlete looking to be recruited or an URM, you should aim to have 2200+ and 3.8+ gpa. Of course it is not set in stone that you need these exact stats, but the majority of other applicant applying to those schools will have impressive stats.</p>

<p>You cannot get into college with scores alone. I hope that you have a list of ECs you participate in that you are passionate about or you will come off as a very boring applicant.</p>
