<p>This is probably my most important EC: Me and my friend did a pretty large scale project (well i think its large scale) involving our experience with disabled people (200+ hours working with disabled kids) and research on disabilities. Well to put it shortly, we wrote a couple essays about the disabled and managed to get this into some national science journals (by contacting a bunch of people). </p>

<p>My essays were also good (not excellent)</p>

<p>Please evaluate thank you

<p>UCLA: Match
UCB: Match
Stanford: Reach
USC: Safe Match
Johns Hopkins: Slight Reach</p>

<p>pardon my ignorance but can you guys explain the approximate percentages for safe match, match, slight reach, reach, far reach ,etc.?</p>

<p>i think its...</p>

<p>reach -- 20%
slight reach -- 40%
match -- 60%
safe match -- 75%
safety -- 90%</p>

<p>wait wasnt it..
reach-a excellent essay and excellent recommendation can get you in
match-you are in unless the essay sux
saftey-you are in unless the admission officers have something against you</p>
