The thing you have to remember is that being qualified and getting in are two different things. Harvard, for example, only accepts 8% of its applicants. If we assume that half the applicants are qualified (and I suspect that it is more) then they reject 84% of the qualified applicants.

Columbia and Penn are almost as selective as Harvard. NYU and JHU are only a little less selective. GWU is close behind them. I would be surprised if you didn’t get into some of those schools.

You need to make yourself stand out. Everyone always talks about extracurriculars. But they are easy to fake and hard to verify. Therefore, make sure you have a great essay and interview. They will be critical.

Good luck.

Seriously, no one has any way of knowing what “percentage” chance to have of getting into those schools. Just look at their median GPA, SAT/ACT scores and see where you are in relation to those. You could still match their scores and not get in.

over 100 admissions mentors at colleges all across the country,,you can actually see their test scores,and you dont need to be applying to their school to use them as a mentor.

cheers!
