<p>Thanks - I guess I should have added California resident. White female. This apparently matters too.</p>

4

<p>I'm more optimistic than sak:</p>

<p>Santa Clara, 'Nova, U-Dub, and Boulder are all safeties. UCs are low matches.</p>

<p>Northwestern is a match with good essays.</p>

5

<p>what's your d's SAT score breakdown?</p>

6

<p>Your D also needs 2 or 3 SAT 2 scores to apply to Yale and some of the other schools</p>

7

<p>^ not for Yale cos she has the ACT.</p>

8

<p>Her SAT breakdown is 770M 700W 630V
Her SAT subjects all over 700 and she have 4 Math II spanish, Chem & Bio
Also</p>

<p>I agree with bluebayou that Santa Clara, Villanova, Washington, and Colorado are safeties. (And based on my son's experience last year, SCU will also give your D quite a bit of merit aid with those stats.) </p>

<p>I think Northwestern and Georgetown are both slight reach/matches, but your D's chances are probably better at Georgetown.</p>

10

<p>I'd say your daughter is a candidate at every school you've listed... she has the stats and resume, so it's really in the hands of the admissions officers. That being said, here is how I would rate her chances...</p>

<p>Georgetown University... SEMI-REACH.
Boston College... GOOD FIT.
Northwestern University... SEMI-REACH.
Yale University... REACH.
Villanova University... LIKELY.
Santa Clara University... SAFETY.
University of California - Berkeley... GOOD FIT.
University of California - Los Angeles... LIKELY.
University of Washington... SAFETY.
University of Colorado - Boulder... SAFETY.</p>

11

<p>I'll play. By the way, you should send in the ACT, that's a pretty good score</p>

<p>Georgetown - low to medium reach
Boston College - match
Northwestern - low to medium reach
Yale - high reach
Villanova - match
Santa Clara - safety
UC Berk - match to low reach
UCLA - match
U of WA - safety
U Colo Bolder - safety</p>

<p>Good luck to your d, sbrownell.</p>
