<p>Oh and I also did COSMOS this summer in Nuclear physics and electro-optics- we went to Los Alamos National Labs in New Mexico! It was really fun.</p>

3

<p>I'd say Carnegie Mellon is a definite reach; boston would be more of a high match</p>

4

<p>thanks! anyone else care to help me too???</p>

5

<p>UCLA is a big reach if you are out of state. Probably UCSD oos is a reach as well. You'd have a much better chance at UW-Madison and UMich. Otherwise, your list looks appropriate to me.</p>

6

<p>I think you're into Northeastern</p>

7

<p>OH than ks greenblue- I happen to be in-state...does that change anything?</p>

8

<p>bummp (oh and I applied EA for Northeastern btw)</p>

9

<p>bummmmppp (very shameless I know...)</p>

10

<p>I'll do the ones I am familiar with:</p>

<p>Carnegie Mellon - High Reach
Boston University - High Reach/Reach
Northeastern University - Reach
Virginia Tech - High Match
UCSD - Match
UCLA - High Reach/Reach</p>

11

<p>I agree with Neal, but if you improve your SATs (over 2100), it should be:</p>

<p>Carnegie Mellon: Low Reach
Boston University: Match/Low Reach
Northeastern: Match
Virginia Tech: Safety
UCSD: Match
UCLA: Match/Low Reach</p>

12

<p>Justsomeguy99-he said he is in state</p>

<p>your stats overall look good expect for the SAT score. improve that and you should be looking pretty good for UCSD and UCLA</p>

13

<p>Whoops. Should have read carefully. :)</p>

14

<p>Carnegie Mellon: High Reach
Syracuse University: Match
Boston University: Reach
Northeastern University: Match
Virginia Tech: Match/Safety
UCSD: High Match/Low Reach
UCLA: Reach</p>

15

<p>well my ACT score translates to a 2140 or something similar (2100+ SAT)
so I guess that makes me a better fit?
