<p>LA, Berkeley, WUSTL, Northwestern, and Hopkins are all reaches, mostly because of your GPA and SAT.
In at Riverside, Irvine, Davis.
I’m not too familiar with UoP.
SD and USC are low reaches, but you still need to raise your SAT.</p>

<p>@Spatula,</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply, I was wondering much of a reach would either SD or USC would be if I were to score in the 2200 range on the SAT reasoning.</p>

<p>Holy Cross-1 hour from Boston- has a great science program(chemistry, biology, pre-med). HC is also SAT optional and don’t have to be religious to attend there.</p>

<p>@Par72,</p>

<p>I see, but the school looks a bit small, Since I go to a school with 4~5 thousand students, I wouldn’t be fit for that university.</p>

<p>Thanks for telling me about that college though.</p>

<p>You should look into Dartmouth for ED! I think it would be a great fit for you and would be interested in your athletic skillz !</p>
