<p>Even as a legacy at Princeton I think we can safely assume that you will have done well to be waitlisted there. Test scores and ECs are just not up there. You’re definitely fine for UW-Madison. UCB and UCLA are matches, writing good essays and having strong recs can push you in while messing up will cost you. I think you basically have a pretty good college list, the UCs are both very realistic. On a side note, do you get to pay IS tuition at UW as a Minnesota resident? That’s what I heard before and I’m not sure if it’s true or not.</p>

<p>I don’t get IS tuition, but it is cheaper because of the Minnesota-Wisconsin Tuition Reciprocity: [MN-WI</a> Tuition Reciprocity College Prices](<a href=“404 Page Not Found”>404 Page Not Found)
And thanks!</p>

<p>And what do you mean by “messing up will cost you”? Like, if I have bad recs/essays or something?</p>
