<p>I am applying to: Boston U, Boston College, UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, UC Santa Cruz, Fordham U, U Chicago (EA), U Washington, U Oregon (accepted), U Michigan, and NYU </p>
<p>I realize that there are quite a bit of reaches in there but I hope to end up at the best academic school.</p>

<p>I am most familiar with UMich and I can assure you that a 3.42 gpa, regardless of how good of a secondary school you attended, will make it difficult for you to get in. Also looking at what you accomplished in high school, you do reach quite a bit because your gpa is sub par at a lot of the good schools you applied to and your test scores are also sub par. For UChicago especially your scores don’t work. Also you don’t really have any strong ECs that stand out and there is little leadership shown on your resume. I’m sorry but I honestly think that you do not have many redeeming points to get you into many of the top schools of your choice. But regardless you do have a fairly strong resume and that should get you into one of the slightly lower schools you applied to. Good luck!!!</p>

<p>why am i sensing that NYU is all of a sudden a match? I always thought it was a top tier school and pretty hard to get into?</p>
<p>SATs and GPA arent really anything special, but your volunteering seems to help make up for that</p>
