<p>Please Chance me for UCSD, UCLA, UCB, Cal Poly SLO, Johns Hopkins, Stanford, MIT, Caltech…</p>

<p>I would really appreciate any feedback, Thank You!</p>

<p>UCSD, UCLA - In
UCB and Johns Hopkins- Most likely in
Stanford, MIT and Caltech are reaches for everybody.
But you have a great chance.
All the best.</p>

<p>Thanks, I’ll try…never chanced before though! :)</p>

<p>buuuummmmppp</p>

<p>GOO VIOLA!!!</p>

<p>UCSD, UCLA - Match
UCB and Johns Hopkins- Low Reach
Stanford, MIT and Caltech - Reach</p>

<p>Curious about those studies though - anything published? Conferences? Those could be deal-breakers for some of your reach schools.</p>

<p>Good luck! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1038243-chance-me-ivies-others-please.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1038243-chance-me-ivies-others-please.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>The most underappreciated, but most awesome stringed instrument evar. </p>

<p>I was purely a research subject in the studies (control group for linguistics and cognitive science studies) so I don’t have any connections to the publishing of the data, etc.</p>

<p>I think Stanford, MIT and Caltech are pretty much reaches for everybody… :P</p>

<p>Thanks for your input!</p>

<p>anybody else?</p>
