<p>thanks a lot.

but those other schools are great too.</p>

<p>You guys have any suggestions for how i can improve my chances at UPENN?</p>

<p>bump...........</p>

<p>Might look at some safeties like Colgate or Holy Cross- both very good LAC'S.</p>

<p>UPenn...Reach/Match
UCLA...Match
Duke...Match
NYU...Match/Safety
Georgetown...Match
Emory...Match
Northwestern...Match
Cornell...Match/Reach
Carnegie Mellon...Match</p>

<p>Safety: UCLA (you're in-state..this is your obvious safety)</p>

<p>All the others seem like toss ups or matches, though Penn could be a reach.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
