<p>Recommendations for other schools?</p>

<p>You’re set for UCLA, but all the others are reaches as they are for everyone. Maybe consider applying to a few more safety schools.</p>

<p>Chance my last post please!</p>

3

<p>That was quite fast, ping pong playa :D. I will chance you back.</p>

4

<p>I caught it right as you posted it haha</p>

5

<p>Bump. Any and all suggestions on how to strengthen my admission are graciously welcomed</p>

6

<p>JHU and UCLA look like high matches. Take bio btw, physics is a pain… And your language proficiency is irrelevant unless you talk about it in your essays somehow lol.</p>

7

<p>Thanks for the input. Something I forget to mention in EC’s is that I’m a sports reporter for the school newspaper and I participated in Model UN.</p>

8

<p>If possible, chance me for Duke. I forget to put it down.</p>

<p>match for ucla
reaches for the rest

<p>Great chances for UCLA! Reach for rest of colleges</p>

<p>Chance me back! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1596157-chance-me-university-utah.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1596157-chance-me-university-utah.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Waiting for your stats. It would help to know class rank as well as a 3.82 GPA doesn’t say a whole lot.</p>

<p>If your grades/scores are fine, you would have a better chance than the average applicant at most of your reaches due to your credentials.</p>

<p>JHU - low reach
UCLA - high match
Brown - low reach
UChicago - low reach
UPenn - low reach
Stanford - low reach</p>

<p>Sorry for the lack of depth of input, but I have to rush. :stuck_out_tongue:

12

<p>Thanks :D. I chanced you back. I would love to hear more opinions.</p>

13

<p>BUMP. anyone? i will chance back.</p>

14

<p>bumpity bump. anyone?</p>

15

<p>JHU low reach/high match
UCLA match
Brown low reach
UChicago low reach/high match
UPenn low reach
Stanford low/mid reach</p>

<p>Great EC’s, good GPA, and good SAT if you can achieve that on the actual exam. :slight_smile: Good luck, you’ll definitely get into a couple of those!</p>

16

<p>You have pretty good stats but those are extremely competitive schools
UCLA is a match
JHU low reach/high match
University of Chicago high match
The rest are reaches (they are for everyone)

<p>Without SATI, SATII, and AP scores it is very tough to chance you. But for your EC’s, which are good, make sure you prioritize because your artwork being chosen for class of 2013 slogan is less important than online classes at Stanford. Chance me back please…

<p>Thanks, guys. I chanced back.</p>

19

<p>Thanks for chancing. I chanced you back.</p>

<p>UCLA: match
Brown: tossup
Chicago: tossup
Penn: low/mid-reach
Stanford: reach (like it is for almost everyone)</p>

<p>To be honest, your SAT scores will probably be below your mock SAT scores. When I first took the SAT, I had mock SAT scores of mostly 2300+ and scored 2110 on the real thing. </p>

<p>Also, Bio is better than Physics for Forensics. If your HS offers a Biotech course (especially if it’s an Honors course), that may be even better.</p>
