I am concerned for my best friend since she applied to a bunch of Ivies. So i’m just curious as to her chances. I know she applied to yale, swarthmore, duke, chapel hill, and berkley I think. Not sure of what else, but she applied to 8 schools. She’s interesting in engineering and lives in North Carolina.

She’s an african american female. Her GPA unweighted is around a 3.6, I think? She got a 2100(something) on the SAT and has gotten in the lowspring 700ishspring range for SATII. She has great extracurriculars(and several leadership positions) also and is a really great writer(I think so, anyways).

So yeah. What are her chances for top schools? One negative thing is that she’s a little on the quiet side. I think that being a minority will help her out.
