<p>Thanks for your time, I appreciate it, and please be honest!!!</p>
<p>I believe that you have a good shot at every school you listed, except for UPenn and Stanford. I am not saying that you aren’t a good applicant for those two institutions, but they are practically a reach for anyone. I’d encourage you to apply to them though, as your stats and extracurricular are solid. Just try to bump up your standardized test scores :)</p>

<p>You really have nothing much that stands out in your application compared to other applicants of Stanford and UPenn so those schools are major reaches.</p>
