<p>Thank you in advance for your opinion, and I will chance back!</p>

<p>USC - low match
Stanford - reach (it’s a reach for nearly everyone!)
Dartmouth - low reach
Rice - match
Cornell - match
Brown - match
UC Berkeley - match
Tulane - low match
Auburn - match</p>

<p>I’m no expert but I think your stats are great and you have a great shot at basically all of the schools you listed. Stanford and Dartmouth are kind of crapshoots for anyone but I honestly think you have a really good chance at them.</p>

<p>I’ll try chancing you, but I’ve never done this kind of thing before! So don’t take my word:
USC (Southern California) - low match
Stanford - reach
Dartmouth - low reach
Rice - match
Cornell - reach
Brown - low reach
UC Berkeley - match
Don’t know about Tulane & Auburn, sorry!</p>

<p>USC - low match
stanford - match/reach
Dartmouth - sorry i dont really know much about it
Rice - match
Cornell - match - reach
Brown - match
UCB - match</p>

5

<p>USC - Low Match
Stanford- Reach (But isn’t it always?)
Dartmouth - High Match
Rice- Match
Cornell - Low Reach
Brown - Reach
UCB - Match
Tulane - Low Match
Overall excellent, you should be proud and I wish you the best</p>

<p>Do you guys think that it would affect my chances positively enough to apply to Stanford SCEA that I should do it? Or would I be better off applying EA to more than one school? I’ve also seen that Stanford is a bad school for doing early action, seeing as how they flat out reject more people rather than defer them</p>

7

<p>How are your Ecs weak at all.</p>

8

<p>@agreatperhaps they’re not weak, but there’s nothing that really stands out, imho</p>

9

<p>“RCML Co-Director (Entirely student-run math league with participants from 20+ countries)”?</p>

<p>Yeah, nothing stands out.</p>

10

<p>@agreatperhaps okay, I guess that one’s good, but everything else just seems laundry-list</p>

11

<p>You and I are almost identical. High GPA and test scores, but unfocused EC’s.</p>

<p>USC (Southern California) - Low Match
Stanford - Reach
Dartmouth - Low Reach
Rice - Match
Cornell - High Match
Brown - Low Reach
UC Berkeley - Low Match / Match if OOS
Tulane - Low Match
Auburn - Safety</p>

<p>Your low matches are basically safeties, but they have really low acceptance rates so I can’t call them that. Apply to Stanford SCEA if it’s your number 1. It’s probably better that they reject most applicants so at least you don’t hold out false hope.</p>

12

<p>You’re right about the Stanford thing, and it really does make a lot more sense when you put it that way. I think Im gonna apply SCEA, so hopefully that’ll go well. Do you think that this is a good mix of safety/match/reach?</p>

13

<p>USC: match
Stanford: reach
Dartmouth: low reach
Rice: high match
Cornell: low reach
Brown: low reach
UC Berkeley - match
Tulane: low match
Auburn: safety</p>
