<p>Thanks to all who help! Also chance me for UPenn-Wharton and Johns Hopkins if you can</p>
<p>pretty good chance at all 3, a little more difficult at Penn, but you never know with colleges like Cornell and other ivys or other top universities and LACs
it’s always a crap shoot at those schools
even 2400 / 4.0 with great ecs get rejected.
and some unhooked kids with only medium scores, gpa and ecs get in.
the only thing that really gives anyone a “good” shot at the ivys or other top schools is a solid hook, meaning you are legacy of parents or family that have been very generous with the college, or a real great athlete in one of their major sports - usually meaning basketball or football - in which cases you have a real good shot as long as you have decent stats. without a solid hook, it’s pot luck. never can tell
just try your best, have some safeties and don’t worry about this stuff until your senior year. way too early to stress over college now.
good luck to you</p>
<p>Why ILR? Go for CAS.</p>
<p>I like ILR because of its specialization, i intend to be a sports agent or something along the lines of human resources</p>
<p>why would i do CAS?</p>
