As we asked in your in your last chance me thread, what is your uw gpa? What is the highest math you will complete. Though, I can say PSU should be a match and the rest are all reaches with UMD maybe being lower reach.

UIUC is a REACH because many with near perfect grades and Tests have been denied. You need good EC’s to compete. Since its past deadline for UIUC. I dont know about the other colleges. Good luck!
