<p>Thanks Alot!</p>

<p>I will chance back!</p>

<p>Little or no chance at Cornell, Penn, or NYU… Overrated, anyway…
Others would probably pay you to come.</p>

<p>Word of advice, don’t think you should mention:</p>

<p>“People to People Leadership Summit to Stanford University
Nomination for Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine in 2008
Personal invitation (Student Leadership Conference to (Georgetown University)”</p>

<p>Colleges don’t want to hear about this…
Maybe I am wrong but I think a lot of people get these or at least a good amount from what I hear in my school. Seems like a way to make money…</p>

<p>I think you got a fair shot at most of the schools; however if you pull up your sat scores to 2100+ then I think you’re in pretty good shape for every school. Remember essays count a lot especially for Cornell. Good luck with everything.</p>

6

<p>Boston College, Cornell, and Chicago are a stretch but you have all senior year to bring up SAT and GPA, otherwise you’re all set with ECs and could already get in to the other schools.</p>

7

<p>well not Cornell, Chicago, villanova or BC and Penn state is a small stretch but the others are all very good chance of acceptance</p>

8

<p>how bout stern at NYU? Do i got a shot?</p>

9

<p>I use sites like collegeboard.com or princetonreview.com to check out grade averages and sat scores, I think most of those schools would be good for you, but check them out individually at the websites.
for example: NYU average sat scores</p>

<p>Critical Reading Middle 50%: 620 - 720
Math Middle 50%: 630 - 720
Writing Middle 50%: 620 - 720
Average High School GPA: 3.6
% with GPA 3.75 of higher: 36%
% with GPA 3.50 - 3.74: 36%
% with GPA 3.25 - 3.49: 16%
% with GPA 3.0 - 3.24: 10%
% with GPA 2.5 - 2.99: 2% </p>

<p>They have profiles like this for most colleges, and although for some reason I couldn’t get to their Penn State page, I’m pretty sure Penn State has lower expectations for applicants
good luck and have fun wherever you end up</p>
