<p>my school is really really competitive.... many 5.0's ,
this year our school sent 5 to Harvard, 16 to stanford, more than 100 for berkeley + LA, many cornells, 4 MIT, etc...</p>

<p>and likely meaning low reach?</p>

5

<p>Yes.</p>

<p>However, you are an international applicant, so everything is much harder for you.</p>

<p>Berkeley/UCLA: match
UCSD: safe match
USC: match
UIUC (OOS): match
Georgetown: match
Boston college: safe match - safety
CMU: match
NYU: safe match
Notre Dame: match</p>

<p>Very good shot at Cornell and Brown. Try to get the SAT score up to 2150+, and don't slack off on your essays for the UCs; they're very important in admissions.</p>

<p>Edit: if you're an international applicant, all of these are going to be much harder. It's more difficult to say then.</p>
