What are my chances at Yale, Duke, UVA, Columbia, NYU, Northwestern, Colgate and Georgetown? 1520 SAT 1, 750, 720, 720 SAT 2's, lots of AP classes, varsity sports, very good EC's, great recs, very good essays.

Well, you have a very good chances if your ECs, recs and essays are very good. You'd have to be more specific for a better answer though.

Your average, class rank, and the caliber of your school would help.

GPA is 3.8, unweighted, my school doesn't rank, top New England prep school.

In at Northwestern, NYU, UVA, Colgate, and Georgetown for sure.

Duke about 60% chance
Yale about 50% chance

Thanks. Anyone else? Also, applied ED to Yale and was deferred. I seem to be in good company there.
