What about SAT II's? Great chance for UC's with 900 hours of community service. I don't know how you ever got any sleep.

You can probably get in anywhere,
My advice- dont go to stony brook ( I grew up a few minutes away) http://www.princetonreview.com/college/research/rankings/rankings.asp

Where do you want to go if you had your choice- Dont just go by reputation, also take into consideration where you will be happiest. For instance, most people I knew who went to Princeton hated the location (New Jersey), and my friend cant wait to leave. I live right near stanford U and can say that students enjoy a very nice quality of life there, Cornell is a great school but it depends on how competitive of an environment you want.

Being an undergraduate student involves much more then taking classes...it really shapes you as a person, and being in the right environment is important...

thanks a lot for the feedback, most of which is very relieving

i realize the environment thing...I have made the mistake of reputation though. I really should check out where I'd be happiest. All i want is an urban environment, big school, with no stuck-ups

if anyone else can rate my chances it would be great!
thanks!

Anyone?

By Paulhomework (Paulhomework) on Thursday, October 07, 2004 - 09:28 pm: Edit

man your chances just took a big hit. Your SAT 1 is good enough, but SAT IIs you need at least a 750 average to maintain your excellent chance.

I'm not sure if most of those colleges accept sat ii french, especially if you have had background in it besides taking classes at high school.

try to improve math iic, or take ic.

someone has no idea what he/she is talking about. by no means do you have even a "5" shot at any ivy league school. i'm just not seeing strong ECs/SAT IIs. retest and maybe apply to an ivy ED, and apply to A TON of ivies/elites RD and you'll get in for sure at one of them. but you don't have a 10 shot at berkeley or a 9.5 at cornell, that's just ridiculous. also, you have about a 0.75 shot at yale.

By Slipper2002 (Slipper2002) on Friday, October 08, 2004 - 12:20 pm: Edit

I agree.
Here's what I think.


Boston University 99%
Brown University 30%
Carnegie Mellon University 95%
Columbia University 30%
Cornell University 35%
Dartmouth College 30%
Harvard University 10%
New York University 90%
Stanford University 15%
State University of New York - Stony Brook 99%
University of California - Berkeley 80%
University of California - Los Angeles 85%
University of California - Santa Barbara 95%
University of California - Santa Cruz 95%
University of Michigan - Ann Arbor 95%
University of Southern California 95%
University of Washington 99%
Yale University 10%

You have such a good shot at the state schools beacuse they are very stat oriented, which you have down pat. I think you have too many safeties, not enough reaches. I.e apply to Michigan now, its rolling. You'll get on so dump the safeties. Add Penn, Duke, Northwestern, etc. You'll be happy you did.
