<p>IMO in to BC, BU, Brandeis, Georgetown
Match for UC Berkeley
and a decent chance for HYBS</p>

<p>Your weighted GPA is exactly double your unweighted and the same proportion? That doesn’t seem to mean anything, haha.</p>

<p>Your GPA and class rank are great, but your SAT scores are a bit lower than average for the uber top tier schools.</p>

<p>BC, BU and Brandeis should be easy.</p>

<p>For some reason I think you live in California, (I don’t know why I got that impression) if so you’re set for Berkeley. If not, you’re still a match.</p>

<p>The other are reaches for anyone but you’ve got a good chance as any.</p>

<p>It’s very hard to give an accurate chance for Harvard really, I don’t see the purpose of these sorts of threads. Anyway, one thing I can say is that you have 0% chance if you don’t apply</p>
