<p>Penn State is a match, not a reach. Middle 50 for their combined SAT is 1630-1940 and his GPA falls in their middle third. Pitt is a match on SAT (1770-2090) but the GPA is a little low for there; being out-of-state will help there, but a decent shot. UC Santa Cruz is an easy match. UVA and WashU are reaches. UCSD and Davis may be reaches. UC Merced is a likely a borderline safety. Ohio U is a safety. Bama is a safety. Illinois & UWash are borderline low reach/matches.
