<p>UCB/Mich- Match/Safety even</p>

<p>please chance back! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1423204-will-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1423204-will-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>You already have another thread on the front page here…</p>

<p>Your scores are in all of those schools ranges. Just focus on your essays now and hope for the best.</p>

<p>Most of those schools are unpredictable, including Michigan to some degree. Seeing as you have legacy at Michigan to add to your profile, I wouldn’t worry about that school.</p>

<p>All the others you have the same chance as everyone else who applies.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>Berkley- Match
Michigan- Low Match
The rest are reaches but I think you will get into most of them, if not all. Good Luck!</p>

<p>Please chance me back at “Low gpa, high sat”.</p>

<p>@SpaceDuck - I realize I double posted! I’m sorry to be annoying. I reposted because I wasn’t getting much of a response and I figured chancing back/ adding more info would help!</p>

<p>Stanford University - Reach
University of California-Berkeley - High Match
Harvard University - Reach
Georgetown University (Walsh School of Foreign Service) - Low Reach
Columbia University - Reach
University of Pennsylvania - Reach
University of Michigan (4x Legacy) - Match</p>

<p>Most of your list is a crapshoot. Hard to predict Ivies, but you have a decent shot. I’d add another safety just in case the unthinkable happens, but if you can’t find one you’ll live. Good luck!</p>

<p>Chance me?</p>
