<p>I have a 4.0 UW, 4.4 W GPA at one of the best schools in Northern California.</p>
<p>1430/1600 SAT w/ 740 CR, 690 Math
SAT II: Math-690, Physics 670</p>
<p>EC includes 4 yr JV/Varsity Basketball, 2 yr JV Football, 1 yr JV baseball, 1 yr Varsity Track, ~100 hr. community service.</p>
<p>The schools that I am currently interested in include:</p>
<p>UC Berkeley
UCSD
Rice
UChicago
Duke
UCLA
Stanford</p>
<p>I am also taking a summer class at Stanford, Intro to Physiology, and it looks as though I am going to get an A, if that helps my chances at all.</p>
<p>I'm interested in either Civil Engineering or Biomedical Engineering and maybe Economics/Math. I'm wondering which schools I listed would be a reach/match/safety. I know that I probably need more choices, so can you also suggest some similar schools that would be a good fit? Location, price, and anything besides the academic quality of a school aren't really factors as far as I'm concerned.</p>
<p>I don't know how the UC system really works, so I can't help you there.
If you boosted that math score on SAT I and II then you'd have a much better shot at these schools. Your CR is fabulous and your GPA is great.</p>
<p>I'm guessing you are taking the hardest courses at your school. I'm also guessing that your rank is fairly high (top 10%).
If either of those is not true, then these chances would drop a little.
I'm also hoping that you have other ECs than sports. I'm sure it takes up a lot of your time to do sports, but it seems like you are a little one-sided. That may work out for sportsy schools. </p>
<p>Rice - High match --> Low Reach
UChicago - Reach
Duke - Reach
Stanford - High Reach</p>
<p>and my suggestions</p>
<p>BME:
JHU - Reach
Case Western - Match
Northwestern - Low Reach --> Reach</p>
<p>Civil:
University of Illinois - Match
Georgia Tech - Match
Purdue - Likely Match</p>
<p>Economics/Math:
University of Rochester - Match
University of Michigan Ann Arbor - High Match --> Low Reach</p>
<p>But I'd add that UC Berkeley and UCLA are huge reaches oos because of the caps on the number of out of state students and the way the calculate AI.</p>
