<p>Rice: Reach

Yale: Reach

<p>Thanks for the opinion. Probably the roughest one so far, but I still appreciate it nonetheless.</p>

<p>i think you have a solid shot for all of them. esp. columnia because u have an alumni.</p>

<p>But while these schools are reaches, at least they are reachable, especially Columbia.</p>

<p>My sis also worked on the admissions team that worked with volunteer students so she knows what kind of essay really stands out for consideration.</p>

<p>Columbia for sure and Davidson. the others are reaches. chance me back!</p>

<p>Rice: Reach but decent chances
Davidson: Good chances</p>

<p>All other schools are reaches to high reaches.</p>
