<p>What do you think my chances of gaining acceptance to these schools are?</p>

<p>Yale ?
Penn?
Columbia?
Dartmouth?
Cornell?</p>

2

<p>I think you have a very good chance at all of those schools. Yale is a reach for anybody.</p>

3

<p>I think you have an excellent chance at getting into your schools. You seem to be very involved, and if your essays and recs are good, i see no reason why you shouldn’t be considered a strong applicant.</p>

4

<p>Thanks guys…i appreciate the support.</p>

5

<p>I don’t think there’s even enough room on the application for all that…</p>

<p>In addition, this goes in the ‘chances’ forum, not admissions.</p>

6

<p>5th nationally on what list Newsweek??? You’re an ORM from a heavily OR place (Long Island) with a resume that’s very average for top schools. Intel semi is good though. Cornell seems like a bet.</p>

7

<p>You think my c/v is that average? I thought i stood a chance at a couple of the other ivys because i really want to go to penn or dartmouth.</p>

8

<p>so the essay you used for your application you entered in contests and it won awards?</p>

<p>really </p>

<p>and you did over 300 hours internships every summer?</p>

<p>the essay thing is weird to me, you didn’t write an original one for any of the schools?</p>

9

<p>Your SATs are just average for Dartmouth, probably at or slightly above Penns average this year (as long as we’re not talking Wharton). 60% of the space at any ivy is taken by athletes, legacies, URMs and development candidates–before they get to the unhooked candidates at all. Expect to need to be at or above the 75% to have a real shot if you’re unhooked.</p>

10

<p>no…i worte original essays based on events that i had written previously about in narratives for competitions.</p>

<p>the 1000 hours were of community service working in a hospital and my youth organization</p>

<p>the internships were seperate</p>

11

<p>The decisions will be out in about two weeks…why not just wait instead of asking random ppl on the internet about your chances? Your stats resume looks good. Intel Semifinalist stands out but there are PLENTY of Intel semifinalists on Long Island and NY in general.</p>

12

<p>You have a 32.33, repeating, of course, percent chance of admission to those schools.</p>

13

<p>you have great stats. the negativity is unnecessary, but you’re not a shoo-in. at all…it’s all very competitive, and you’re unhooked. but you’re a accomplished. chill for the next 2 weeks.</p>
