<p>Of course you have a chance, but Cornell and WUSTL are long shots. UVA tough because you are OOS, although they are better about OOS than some others. Rice is a tough call. You should be fine at NYU, Tulane and the UC schools IMO. Pacific and Minnesota are safeties.</p>

<p>Frankly, I wouldn’t have put down perfect attendance as an award. Not the kind of thing they are looking for.</p>

<p>Agree on the attendance things. Agree on Tulane and NYU, good shot at UVA.</p>

<p>I’m guessing you just submitted your UC apps like I did. Good luck to you my competition.</p>

<p>Anyway, I think FutureENTSurgeon’s chance for UCs was dead-on. UCSD is probably really a safety though.</p>

<p>UCD- low match / high safety
UCSD- match
UCLA/ UCB - low reach/high match</p>
