I’m sure people are sick of answering this kind of question, but if i could get any responses it’d be greatly appreciated. As i said, i just got deferred by wharton and i’m wondering what people think my chances are at some other schools. First of all, here’s all my numbers etc.

White male from NJ (yup, couldn’t be worse)
1540 sat I
SAT II: 800 us hist, 750 Math IC, 740 Writing
3.85 GPA (would be higher, but I was sick for most of my junior year…gonna try to milk that for all it’s worth)

VP of my class, played baseball for 3 years, ran track for two, taught sunday school for 4 years, started church youth group, VP of nat. honor society. other than that, a lot of basic extracirricular stuff (FBLA, etc.)

i’m applying to:
BC
Villanova
Harvard
Yale
Columbia
Hopkins
Georgetown
Loyola MD (hope it doesn’t come to this)
Fairfield (ditto)

let me know what you think, thanks!
