<p>Emory- you got it
UVA-this school is so unpredictable–you have an awesome ACT score (coulnd’t be better) but they are known for turning down perfect 1600s so I don’t know
Williams- i hate to say reach but its just so freakin hard to get into these days!
Duke-about the same as UVA- but more on the looking good side than not
UPenn-" "
Don’t know much about Bowdoin—</p>

<p>you should also consider Vanderbilt, Washington and Lee, and Bucknell—those are all def schools for you :)</p>

<p>Excellent chances at all. UPenn, Duke and Williams may miss on one of the 3, Duke loves numbers, I don’t know much about UPenn, do you have geographic diversity for Williams?</p>

5

<p>AWESOME ACT score man! KUDOS, outlook = good</p>

<p>Thanks for quick responses and for the feedback/complements/suggestions. I don’t really have geographic diversity of Williams. I visited Bucknell and almost decided to apply there. As for Washington and Lee/Vanderbilt - I heard that these schools were too Old-Southesque (for lack of a better term) for my liking.</p>

<p>any more opinions…how about some percentages…please</p>

<p>Wow–your stats look amazing.
I’m not an expert at this, but…
Emory–90%
UVA (out of state)-95%
Williams-80%
Duke-70%
UPenn-50-60%
Bowdoin don’t know about this one</p>

<p>Good Luck–I’m sure you’ll be fine. I’d even be a little more ambitious if I were you. :wink: (perhaps Stanford/Harvard/Yale)</p>
