<p>i guess ill do the ones i know.
what are you majoring in? if business, your business ecs will give you a boost.
this is if you’re going for business.</p>

<p>Berkeley - high match/low reach
UCLA - match/high match
UC San Diego - match
UC Davis - high safety
UC Irvine - high safety
NYU - high safety/low match (if stern, high match/low reach)
USC - match
Georgetown - high match/low reach</p>

<p>^ I’ll do some also: </p>

<p>WashUStL- mid-reach
CMU- high match/low reach
Boston College- high match (daughter in CSOM business school there)
Michigan- high match (since you’re OOS)
Santa Clara- high safety
Georgetown- unpredictable</p>

<p>You’re a strong applicant. Your school doesn’t rank however if you got an ELC letter from the UC’s, it puts you the top 4% of your class. Good luck!</p>

<p>Yes, I’m looking into majors in the business field, primarily finance or economics. Can’t edit the first post anymore, but I was like the CFO for Quake Safety. </p>

<p>I know I’m not in ELC, I’d like to say I’m at least top 15%, but probably top 10%.</p>

<p>Thanks for the chances guys! Really appreciated!</p>

<p>Still looking for more opinions!</p>

<p>@browniez</p>

<p>copy paste to refer link -_-</p>

11

<p>^I can ask for a chance back if I want :P</p>

<p>Sorry wasn’t aware it was such a big deal. I’m only asking to be chanced for one school on my thread so it’s really not that difficult though.</p>

<p>Or were you criticizing me for something else, I can’t really tell what you were saying.</p>

12

<p>it’s not that referring links is terrible, at least on this forum, but at least contribute something that isn’t repeated from other posts before referring your link.</p>

13

<p>Might look at Holy Cross-Jesuit school just like Georgetown and Boston College. HC has great business alumni network and sponsors several business internships. Holy Cross is need-blind with respect to financial aid.</p>

<p>@ redteabag-ok, thanks for telling me. I guess I should have presented some new info or different insight to warrant me hoping that he would chance me back.</p>
