<p>Can I consider UCSB a safety? Or should I apply to SDSU?</p>
<p>I would consider the UCS all either a match or high match. The others are slight reaches except for Michigan. What to improve: I’d make those essays perfect if that’s your weak spot</p>
<p>To anyone still viewing this: I ended up getting rejected from the majority of my schools.
Duke
USC
UCLA
UCB
Stanford
UNC
Dartmouth
Penn
Cornell
Emory</p>
<p>with wait lists at:
Michigan
University of Miami (serious self esteem drop…)
UVA</p>
<p>I’m going to appeal one of my rejections, if that doesn’t work out I’m off to WUSTL, one of the three schools I got into.</p>
