<p>So am I ivy league material?</p>

2

<p>yes, definitely.</p>

3

<p>I’d say you have a very good chance</p>

4

<p>Definitely apply and maybe talk to Admissions about getting a fee waiver if you qualify for Questbridge you may qualify for a waiver though I could be wrong</p>

5

<p>You have a good shot -everything looks great except for your SAT scores. Pull those up a little bit and you’ll be an even stronger candidate. Also, keep in mind that many people on CC are NOT admission officers, so take phrases like “yes definitely” or “apply and you will be accepted” with a grain of salt. BTW, this is coming from a fellow URM.</p>

6

<p>just apply…doesnt hurt to try
0% chance w/o applying</p>

7

<p>try to raise your SAT I scores a bit higher (atleast like 50 points each section). SAT II"s are good though. gpa and rank are also impressive. EC’s are amazing. very good chances, and definitely ivy league material.</p>
