<p>I'm pretty sure you're safe with the numbers at the UCs. </p>
<p>I'm not too familiar with the privates, but I think they are high matches/low reaches with your stats, at least USC and JH.</p>
<p>What is your major? What are your activities? Assuming non-engineering:</p>
<p>UCLA - Match
UCB - Slight Reach / Match
UCSD - Safety
Cornell - N/A
Johns Hopkins - N/A
USC - Match</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Match (in state)
UCSD: Safe Match (in state)
USC: Safe Match
Cornell: Match-Slight Reach
John Hopkins: Match-Slight Reach</p>
<p>The SAT score is kinda low for Cornell/JHU. If it were higher, you'd have a good shot. As it is now, those are slight reaches.</p>
<p>UCB/UCLA: match
UCSD: safe match
USC: match</p>
<p>He didn't even list his ec's? How is it that you guys were still able to chance him for Cornell and JHU, where ec's matter...a lot?</p>
