Please Chance Me At McCombs

Based on D22’s friends who got McCombs last year, I’d suggest somewhere between low match and likely - compared to you, they had lower test scores, slightly higher grades (usually top 6%) at an average suburban public school rather than a top prep school, and I would say generally less impressive ECs. Not a safety, as you know, but pretty good chance.

Although going for humanities rather than business, D22 had fairly similar stats last year (36/36/36/33 M for non-STEM, top 2% at suburban public) with these results:

Yale RD: rejected
UVA EA: accepted (legacy)
Rice RD: accepted

I think this is a very solid profile for Rice, which is actively seeking business majors for the new program - feeder school, legacy, etc. In ED I would probably say solid match; if RD, high match/low reach. Does your scattergram indicate legacy status? UVA and UNC are just brutal for OOS non-legacies. There was a new thread here on CC a few days ago by an unhooked '22 student from NJ with outstanding stats who was admitted to Princeton and Columbia…but not UVA or UNC.
