Duke: match
Notre Dame: match

<p>reasons (same for all): outstanding academic record, amazing research, competitive science awards, URM, financial aid</p>

<p>Not sure if I missed anything but I didn’t see your intended major, so the “chancing” could vary a bit (but not by too much).</p>

<p>Please excuse my weird username. It is the name of a brand of pastels.</p>

<p>Your chances are very high! good luck :)</p>

<p>What’s “low reach,” “low match,” etc.? I have a general idea of what they are, but I just need some confirmation. Sorry about my noob-ness.</p>

<p>low mach is usually for describing Ivys=you have a really good chance, but since it is an Ivy we still call it a “reach”</p>

<p>Looking really good, in fact I can’t deny my envy at those amazing sat scores. Congrats, I am confident you will get into whatever college you want, I have never seen a better applicant. Apart from amazing test scores you have balanced your EC’s, good luck!</p>

<p>Great credential. You have good chances for all of these schools. But I will not put UChicago as low match.</p>
