<p>I’m considering other schools, such as Washington U in St. Louis, Yale, and Penn.</p>

<p>My school is not competitive at all, although the past two years our school has sent one student from each class to Stanford. We have never sent a student to an Ivy League school.</p>

<p>I’d appreciate any comments, questions, discussion, etc.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance! Sorry it was so long.</p>

<p>In everywhere except perhaps Duke, Cornell, and Harvard. Cornell is probably a low reach, while Duke and Harvard are high reaches (but they are for everyone). I would say you will be very competitive for admission to Duke and Harvard, but there is just no way to tell for sure. Highest possible chances for both.</p>

<p>bump … thanks!</p>

<p>^ Don’t group Duke and Harvard, and leave Cornell lower than the two.
Cornell and Duke - Low reaches
Harvard - Higher reach</p>
