<p>First of all, how is your UW GPA higher than your W GPA?</p>
<p>Penn - high reach
Emory - reach
Princeton - high reach
Stanford - high reach
NYU - slight match
Cornell - reach
CMU - slight match
UMich - slight match
UIUC - match</p>
<p>Penn - high reach
Emory - high reach (i think its becoming the "ivy" of the south these days)
Princeton - high reach
Stanford - high reach
NYU - high match/low reach
Cornell - reach
CMU - match
UMich - low reach
UIUC - low match (won't say safety because you're oos)
case western - no idea</p>
<p>i think you need some "safe" safeties. write a good essay! and get good recs!</p>
<p>as for safeties i recommend University of Washington (in Seattle, Washington). Or if you don't wanna go out west (where there's nice weather and no snow!), then maybe U of Rochester (in NY), or just the state school in your state. </p>
<p>The advantage of the state school in your state is that its in state tuition at worst, and with your stats you might get alot of merit-based aid or partial/full ride. Even better will be that your state school offers an honors program which you can apply to as well. </p>
<p>Sorry i'm not familiar with which state you're from because i dont get the title lol. ><</p>
<p>I agree with the need for truly safe safeties. Perhaps there's a school in state that you find interesting? Chances for your reach schools are very slim. Emory is more of a possibility than PPSC, but all reaches will be tough with the test scores you have. The highest one you have tests your native language, so if you want to improve your chances, I'd recommend retaking.</p>
<p>I agree...I think you'd boost your chances by retaking the SAT or taking the ACT. You might have a decent shot at some of these places since you're from OK...I'm not sure how well represented it is at the schools you're looking at. Good Luck!</p>
