<p>Thanks for chancing me! Back at you:</p>

<p>You have a great college list and I like your SAT total :). I think you have good chance everywhere. I really liked Haverford and I think you'd like it there. Good luck.</p>

<p>Thanks for the chance. It seems that you have a good chance at getting into most of the schools on this list, with your high test scores and your high gpa. Its also good that you took the subject tests and did well on them. That can always help.</p>

<p>Thanks for chancing me! I am not too familiar with LACs (Reed College, Bard College, and Kenyon College). Looking at your stats, I would say you have a rather good shot. Just try to be very personal in your essays. The only one that may be almost a low reach would be Wesleyan, Haverford, and Vassar. I would say you have a good chance at the other ones!</p>

<p>Wesleyan University (ED, had good interview) - high match / low reach
Haverford College (good interview) - high match / low reach
Vassar College - high match / low reach
Brandeis University -match
Oberlin College (ok interview) -match
Wellesley College -match
Reed College -saftey
Bard College (good interview) -saftey
Kenyon College (ok interview) - safety</p>

<p>laxgurl, you are indeed not too familiar with LACs! Reed, in particular, is a safety for no one; it's as difficult as Swat, and is a quirky "fit" school. flying would be a match strictly by the numbers (I PMed her), but that's only part of it. :)</p>

<p>Thanks everyone!
Laxgirl, Wellesley (and Reed, I guess) are definitely harder to get into than you seemed to think.</p>
