<p>All of them are reaches.</p>

<p>Your scores all look really good, but since they’re such top schools, they’re inevitably going to be reaches. I would say Columbia and UPenn can be high match/low reaches, but the rest would be more low/mid reaches. Figure out if you want to ED/EA anywhere, and that could help. Like the other person said also, definitely get some safeties for that “just in case” scenario.
One thing to note though, if you’re using the common app and such, don’t even bother putting info about extracurriculars before high school (not quite sure about the schooling system in Turkey, though). It’s pretty much seen as useless info and seems like you’re just trying to fit in as much as you can to up yourself.</p>

9

<p>all are high reaches</p>

10

<p>but then again u have like every single top 10 school in terms of business/economics in the world lol</p>

11

<p>No hook-> automatic reach</p>

12

<p>“Irrelephante: Columbia and UPenn can be high match/low reaches”</p>

<p>Nope. They’re always, always reaches unless the applicant is hooked and competitive.</p>

<p>Bumpppp!!!</p>

<p>Where you EA will matter. Where do you plan on EAing for Economics? Here’s a ranking:</p>

<p>[QS</a> World University Rankings by Subject 2013 - Economics & Econometrics | Top Universities](<a href=“http://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/university-subject-rankings/2013/economics-and-econometrics]QS”>QS World University Rankings for Economics and Econometrics 2013 | Top Universities)</p>

<p>Based on the rankings, your #1 choice should Harvard, then MIT and UChicago. Fortunately for you, Harvard, MIT, and UChicago are all need-blind for international students.</p>

<p>Harvard: Reach
MIT: Reach
UChicago: Reach</p>
