<p>I forgot to add that I am half Indian and half Jewish, and do not really define myself as one or another. Which would work out more in my favor?</p>

3

<p>im no expert but let’s see…
-UPENN: I would say very good chance if you’re applying ED.
-Princeton: maybe, i would say 75%
-Brown: good chance, 80%
-College of W&M: I know a couple of people whose stats were lower than yours that got in, so very good chance.

  • Richmond: very good chance
  • Virginia: very good chance
  • College of NJ: havent heard much of it
  • Delaware: please, you’ll get in ;). </p>

<p>you have a stellar transcript. maybe you should take the SAT’s again to increase the math. other than that, great EC’s and awards. don’t worry, you’ll succeed in any institution.</p>

<p>Personally, I don’t think that being half Indian or being half Jewish will help you. Jews are abundant at most top schools, and being half Indian doesn’t qualify as being a URM. Your grades and SATs are pretty good, but definitely try to improve in Math, because it definitely appears to be a weaker point. If your essays and recs are good, I would say these are your chances:</p>

<p>University of Pennsylvania (chances ED vs. RD?) - 45% ED, 30% RD
Princeton University - 15%
Brown University - 30%
College of William and Mary - 65%
University of Richmond - 80%
University of Virginia - 55%
The College of New Jersey - 95%
University of Delaware-Honors College (double legacy) - 90%</p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>

<p>Thank you both so much! I really appreciate your honesty. I am going to take the SATs again to try to raise math over a 700.</p>

<p>Anyone else have any input?</p>

6

<p>No offense stacks101, but you are really overestimating the probability of her getting into brown and definitely princeton. Listen to Siresong, thats pretty spot on, though I would give you slightly more than 45% for ED, maybe 50%?</p>

7

<p>thanks guys. anyone else? <em>bump</em></p>

8

<p>oh and, my school does not rank, so it’s either top 5 or 10%. there are only about 185 people in my class.</p>

9

<p>Yeah, the Ivies- well, you’d be a better fit at UPenn anyways, and ED would be about half again your chances to getting in. The rest are matches/safeties.</p>

10

<p>I agree with the posters above. I think that you have a good chance of getting into all of those with the exception of the Ivies. However, I do think you have a good chance at UPenn:) Good luck!</p>

11

<p>UPenn has an over-abundance of Jewish and/or Indian girls from NJ; demographics may decrease your chance…even ED…you HAVE to bring up that math SAT score to even have a chance though…</p>

<p>Thank you. I really don’t consider myself Jewish or Indian. I think of myself as a Caucasian with no religious preference. I just didn’t know if having that background could help, since it is who I am.</p>

<p>I know the ivies are a stretch, and like I said, as soon as the October SATs come I will definitely try to improve my math score.</p>

<p>I appreciate all the input!!</p>
