<p>I do not agree with UChicago being a reach at all. Great school, but for some reason people think it is so much harder than it actually is . I live in Chicago, and I know so many people who go there. A lot of them had a 3.6/3.7 with a 29, run of the mill extracurriculars, high level classes, and amazing essays.</p>
<p>I’d say:
UChicago: match
UCLA: slightly easier than match
NYU: slightly easier than match
Stanford: reach
Brown: reach (albeit easier reach than stanford)</p>
