<p>all the Ivys, Stanford, and NYU are high reaches (as for anyone… yes even you). But I say you have a sizeable chance with Duke and the rest… even chicago. i really can’t say because your stats are just really good in my opinion to say that you won’t get into at lease one of the Ivys/stanford/nyu. Just wait i guess. I know this really doesn’t help… but i’m gonna say that its hard to say you’ll be accepted to one of the schools i mentioned as high reaches, but even harder to say you will be rejected by all the ivys, stanford, and nyu. Chance me back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/810722-please-chance-me-these-colleges.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/810722-please-chance-me-these-colleges.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Your SAT and hooks are impressive! Do you have any idea if being an IB diploma student is better than AP or are they viewed equally?</p>

<p>Here’s my opinion:
William and Mary: match
UVA: match
Brown: low-mid reach (or maybe even high match since you know the Professor and the alumni interviewer)
Duke: match
Stanford: reach
Columbia ED: low to high reach
Boston College: match (or maybe even low match)
NYU: match
UPenn: low to high reach
Washington and Lee: match
Chicago EA: high match</p>

<p>Could you chance me back?</p>

<p>Also I forgot to mention that I am my school’s valedictorian; one out of 400 about, but my school will have like 30 valedictorians because they do it weird, however my counselor thinks my GPA is highest in the class about (colleges won’t know that I don’t think unless she says it in the rec)</p>

<p>NYU is definitely not a reach for you. I know people that have been accepted with lowers stats. </p>

<p>William and Mary: match
UVA: match
Brown: low-reach
Duke: high match
Stanford: reach
Columbia: low reach
UPenn: reach
Boston: match
NYU: match
Chicago: match
Washington: match</p>

<p>good luck and excellent stats.</p>
