Chances of getting into some of these colleges?
Asked by cargentina0102Im a senior in a public school in Florida. GPA: 3.98 (on a 4.0 scale) AP classes taken and scores: World History (2) US Gov't (4) Comparative Gov't (3) US History (4) English Lang and Comp (4) Biology (5) Psychology (5) Spanish Lang and Comp (5) Extra curricular activities: National Honor Society Spanish Honor Society Science Club (secretary) Drama Club Tutoring/community service Academic Games Class rank: 3 or 4/ 400ish SAT: 710 verbal, 660 writing, 610 math (I'm retaking it though) Schools interested in: Williams College Bowdoin College Lehigh University Brandeis University Cornell University University of Chicago University of Florida Tulane University Princeton University Harvard University Florida State University So, what do you think my chances are? Yes, I requested info from all of them, and got unrequested applications from Harvard and Princeton (which made me really happy). Still, I know the admission process is highly competitive, but wanted to know what y'all might think.

Your SAT scores are below the average for Harvard, Princeton, Chicago and WIlliams -- but not so far that you have no chance. Your scores put you around the 25th percentile of those admitted to those schools. You are a little higher up at Cornell. This means that you have a real shot at these schools -- but you are far from a sure thing. I think you are more likely than not to get into the other schools -- with Florida and FSU being sure things (but you can do better than both of them). The bottom line is tha tyou are qualified to get into all of these schools -- but being qualified isn't the same as getting in. You will get into some good schools. To get into the best ones, you need to distinguish yourself from the other qualified applicants. In particular, you need to write a killer essay. Think about your preferances. I would put them at: Princeton or Harvard Chicago Cornell WIlliams Brandeis Bowdoin Lehigh Tulane Florida Florida State If you are interested in Economics, I would move Chicago to the top.
