<p>Low reach for WashU and Vanderbilt. Penn is a reach. I would say Emory is a high match. Your academics aren’t the very best, but you have great ECs, so I would say none of these schools are really out of your reach. Good luck!

<p>Yeah academically you look a little off pace for some of the top colleges. That being said, you have an X factor that I’m sure a few of these might take a chance on. I can’t tell you which ones will but I do feel like you have enough to get into a few of them. Good luck!</p>

<p>Chanes at georgetown and upenn are around 30%. Emory is about 70%, and the rest I’m sure you’ll get in :slight_smile:
just rip your georgetown interview and write amazing essay, and your chances there jump to like 50% </p>

<p>Chance back please?

<p>washu, - match/safety
vandy, - match
georgetown, - match (my sister attends and you’re more qualified than her.)
upenn, - low reach, just because its ivy and your scores aren’t that amazing.
USC, - match
CMC, - match
emory RD - low reach</p>

<p>very good shot at all of those schools. sounds like you are a very talented/passionate musician.</p>

<p>chance me back?</p>

<p>asian with an 88/100 and a 2120 :|</p>

<p>washu - high reach
vandy - high reach
georgetown - reach
upenn - near impossibility
USC - match
CMC - high reach
emory RD - low reach</p>

<p>maybe look at more schools with > 25% acceptance rates.</p>

12

<p>I think you’ll get in everywhere. Your GPA and SAT score are great. I can pretty much guarentee you’ll get into Vanderbilt because their average GPA is a 3.7 but your scores and GPA fall into the range of every college. Good luck!</p>

<p>Do you mind chancing me back? It’s only one school.
