<p>I think you do know you have shots in most schools in your list except Upenn, which is an Ivy, therefore a crapshoot for everyone in range…as long as you have good writing skills
Since you have Yale legacy, you will have decent chance there.</p>
<p>Haha my writings skills are awful so I was hoping that Penn would look past that. I thought the same about Yale legacy but my brother got rejected with about the same stuff as I have even though my grandfather donates a lot.</p>
<p>Duke is more selective than Penn CAS. Every Ivy League school is not Harvard or Princeton. Only uninformed high schoolers make comments like the ones made by @paul2752.</p>
<p>Only apply to your top 4-5 from that list, it will just make the decision easier for you. I say this because I strongly believe that you would get into any of those schools if you wanted to. The only one I am uncertain on is Penn, but I still think you have a 80% or better chance to get into their.</p>

First of all, I m not an uninformed student.
Second, my friend who has less good EC and less unweighed GPA(same unweighted GPA) than the OP got in Duke. </p>
<p>I think you know that you are far above most of the averages for most of these schools. You have a good shot at Penn, and even Yale. If you want, I would take off some safeties and matches on your current list and apply to more reaches, you have a good shot at any school. You’ll get in everywhere except maybe Yale and Penn, but even those two are reachable. I think you’ll probably end up getting into Penn, and rejected from Yale, but if you wrote good essays, you could get into Yale as well. Good luck!</p>
<p>Realistically, UNC is the toughest simply because 90% of the freshman class is in-state. Penn is a maybe for everyone as are almost all the Ivies. Other than that I think all the schools are realistic, and would be shocked if you got rejected by the other schools I didn’t show doubt for.</p>
<p>Super stats ! Why are you even applying to places like Gtech unless you want to major in Engg. Or CS ? Or are you unsure at this time of your major ?!?</p>
<p>Right now I’m unsure of my major but I’m leaning toward business. Engineering is my fallback if I decide not to do business so I tried to pick schools that had some of each.</p>
<p>With the “higher schools” like Northwestern, UMich, Duke etc all really depend on essays and letters. No offense, but you sound like every other 36 on the ACT, Valedictorian type. I know a guy with similar stats (wgpa was a bit lower) who got deferred from EA. I was quite shocked until I read his essays, they made him seem too… strange. that’s all the advice I can give.</p>
<p>Did you really need to post this
You can basically get in anywhere and you’re taking up space from concerned students who are nervous about their admissions process</p>
