<p>UC Berkeley- Yes
UCLA- Yes
Stanford- low reach
Brown (my dream!)- reach
Columbia- reach
Yale- high reach
UPenn- reach
Princeton- high reach
Dartmouth -reach
Cornell- low reach
Harvard- epic reach
Caltech- low reach
MIT- epic reach
Harvey Mudd- Yes
Pomona- yes
JHU- Yes
Carnegie Mellon- Yes
Williams College- yes
Rice University- yes
Northwestern- yes</p>

<p>Rationale:
All the California Schools you have a very high chance of getting into. East coast however, all the lesser tier you have a great chance, but the higher levels are reaches for us all and I think, although you have stellar academics, your EC’s are not outstanding (no offense, they are great, but not defining). Good Luck! Chance me back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1317220-chance-me-my-college-choices.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1317220-chance-me-my-college-choices.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>The above is crazy, Stanford a low reach? For an Asian from CA with average stats and ECs.</p>

<p>Honesty, I think this list is wholly unrealistic other than the UCs. There is nothing here that says ivy. It looks like you didn’t take the most rigorous schedule up until senior year and the ECs are not ivy quality.</p>

<p>You really need to work hard on safety and match schools. It looks like you just tagged on some mid tier UCs. Would you be happy to attend them?</p>

<p>I agree…
That first guy is INSANE.</p>

Cornell - lowish reach
Harvard - high reach

<p>Any ideas on match/safety schools? The closer to cali the better. Thanks everybody!</p>

<p>Oops USC didn’t make it onto this list. Chance me for there too?</p>

<p>USC is a match</p>

<p>maybe add Pitzer for a match, the other UCs are basically safeties</p>
