<p>Couple of questions first:</p>
<ol>
<li>Have you taken/will you take any AP classes? Scores?</li>
<li>What else are you involved in?</li>
</ol>
<p>UMD: reach (I can’t see it happening)
Penn State: high match
Clemson: high match
Wisconsin: high match (guess here is waitlisted, then denied)
Rutgers: match
Colorado: safety
Quinnipiac: mid reach (in between UMD and the high matches)</p>
<p>Comments:</p>
<p>SAT score is the strongest part of your app, but it still would help to retake it, as it would turn some of the high matches into matches.</p>
<p>Your rigor of courseload would change my chances. </p>
<p>EC’s seem shallow and are holding you back. NHS doesn’t matter all that much. Ditto for foreign language clubs unless you are an officer. As for the MS walk, did you organize it, or just walk in it? There is a difference between the two.</p>
<p>It seems odd to me that you are applying to many OOS flagships, as they are not known for good financial aid deals (as in even top students won’t get FA besides loans, specifically at Penn State, Maryland, and Madison.) More affordable options might be found at your state U and less well known private universities. What interests you about Clemson, Colorado and Wisconsin?</p>
<p>Anyways, good luck at college admissions. Hope it works out.</p>
