<p>Please chance for UVA, Wisconsin, Notre Dame, University of Michigan, Cornell (applying ED), and Colgate</p>

<p>I am a white male attending a competitive boarding school in Ohio, my parents also both received PHDs from UVA, if that affects my chances there. </p>

<p>I always chance back, and really hope you guys take the time to read and offer advice.</p>

<p>i believe that you have some sort of a chance of getting into all of those schools. Your transcript is impressive. Although UVA is difficult, your parents having graduated there may really increase your chances. Chance me back?</p>

<p>UVA-Low Reach/High Match
Wisconsin-Match
Notre Dame-Match
Cornell-Low Reach/High math
Colgate-Match</p>

<p>UVA: match/high match <=== it’s so hard to get in OOS, but being a legacy if OOS helps A LOT.
Wisconsin: match
Notre Dame: high match
Cornell (ED): low reach
Colgate: match</p>

<p>The 3.75 UW is a little on the low side for some of these, but the rest looks good.</p>

<p>Chance back
