<li>Stanford - high reach, but definitely a chance. This school is a high reach for everyone, but having a supplemental recommendation letter from a professor looks good. Also, your ACT and GPA are (almost) perfect, but for Stanford perfection is honestly a standard. It looks good, though. </li>
<li>Ohio State - safety. You’re in</li>
<li>Michigan - safety. You’re in </li>
<li>Northwestern - high match. You have a very good chance, but there is no guarantee with Northwestern. </li>
<li>Case Western Reserve - no clue</li>
<li>Yale - high reach, but definitely a chance. Same boat with Stanford. I’d say you have a 6/10 chance. </li>
<li>USC - high match.
8 and 9 - I group Berkeley and UCLA together because the UC schools are very odd in their selection. There’s no telling when just looking at scores and ECs. The essays and Recs count A LOT, so make sure they’re fantastic (you don’t have a lot of control over recs, obviously). I’d say they’re both high matches though, UCLA probably a match. </li>
<li>Princeton - high reach, same with Stanford and Yale. 5/10 chance. </li>
<li>Duke - high match</li>
<li>Wash U in STL - safety. You’re in </li>
<li>U Penn - high reach. 6/10 chance </li>
<li>Dartmouth - high reach. 7/10 chance. </li>
</ol>
<p>With the Ivies, they’re all high reaches because they get so many applicants just like you. I think you have a great chance for a lot of these schools though. Good luck with Stanford, it’ll be hard to get in. </p>
<p>^ So Dartmouth is a high reach while Duke is a high match even though Duke is more selective than Dartmouth? </p>
<p>Are you pulling your predictions out of a hat? People who don’t know what they’re talking about should refrain from commenting because it just causes confusion. It’s time for the blind to stop leading the blind. </p>
<p>high match:
Darmouth (RD)
Northwestern (RD)
Wash U in STL (RD)</p>
<p>safeties:
Ohio State (EA)
Michigan (EA)</p>
<p>sorry I only could do the ones I was familiar with. Good luck though, you have amazing stats/ECs/recs so I’m sure that you’ll get into a good amount of your reaches/high matches</p>
