List a bit too strong?

Chance Me / Match Me

<p>I was making my college lists and filling my apps when i had the sudden vision that i might not make it to a single one of these schools that i’m applying to. Sure, there are very very high reaches there…but i, at the time of making the list, thought that it was a pretty well balanced list. Just need a general idea.</p>

<p>ACADEMICS:
GPA<br>
9th grade: 3.8
10th grade: 4.0
11th grade: 3.8
12th grade: 3.2 <em>sigh</em></p>

<p>taking one of the toughest course in school.</p>

<p>EXTRA CIRRICULARS:
9th grade = Nothing
10th grade = Nothing
11th grade: Won the debate competition at Lahore

US HISTORY: 750 </p>

<p><em>sigh</em> it’s hard to be honest, even online.<br>
ok. now the list. please be honest dudes…</p>

<p>no particular order tho…</p>

<li>Harvard</li>
<li>Yale</li>
<li>Columbia</li>
<li>Uni of Chicago</li>
<li>Uni of Michigan Ann Arbor</li>
<li>Emory</li>
<li>Villanova</li>
<li>Babson</li>
<li>UNC - chapel Hill (remember…am an NC resident) </li>
<li>Uni of wisconsin Madison</li>
</ol>

<p>i want this in both cases…if i get my novel published (seems unlikely but i’ll try )…and if i dont get it published.
this list is something i thought up of BEFORE i got my Sat scores… =(</p>

<p>lemme know ur opinions…and please state some suggestions for schools that are good in business and that i might go to…</p>

<p>Don’t bother applying applying to Harvard. Both Yale and Columbia would be high reaches, also. Unfortunately, your downward grade trend will not be looked on favorably. </p>

<p>Very good chances at Wisconsin, though.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

3

<p>You need safety schools. All of your schools are reaches I think.</p>

4

<p>Harvard/Yale/Columbia - Reaches
Ann Arbor (if you’re doing Engineering) - Reach</p>

<p>dont know about the rest</p>

5

<p>I think you would get into Babson. Don’t know about the rest. Also check out Indiana University, Northeastern and Bentley.</p>

6

<p>My honest opinion would be no for Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Chicago; probably not at UM; maybe for UNC and UW. Don’t know about the others.</p>

7

<p>definately in at UNC with your residency
Emory and Babson matches
Harvard Yale Columbia reaches
Villanova slight reach/match</p>

<p>you didnt have any EC’s in 9th or 10th grade and your downward grade trend might hurt you. your novel will be a big hook if its published.</p>

<p>gooood luck!</p>

8

<p>i think villanova, babson and unc are all good matches for you</p>

9

<p>no at the ivies.
not sure about others…</p>
