<p>Your ACT scores are great, but your gpa may be a little low and ECs too weak for Chicago and Brown. Good luck!</p>

<p>@lucia979 My transcript is all As with the exception of four Bs at a community college. I’ll have taken 12 community college classes, do you think that will help alleviate the low grades?</p>

<p>ECs are weak I agree, but the robotics was very in depth, ranging from 15 to 30 hours a week.</p>

<p>Reach for Brown and Chicago, as they are for everyone.</p>

<p>Match/low reach for the others. It’s a really eclectic list,though.</p>

<p>I definitely think the college classes will help! I took many AP classes and did receive some Bs, but got into great schools such as the University of Virginia anyway. Many of those top schools would take rigor over straight As.</p>

<p>@lucia979 I concur with rope, Brown and UChicago are reaches, while the rest are matches/high matches.</p>

<p>I agree with everyone else, Brown and UChicago are reaches, while the rest are matches/high matches. I’m not exactly sure how big your achievements are in robotics, but assuming they are not USAMO level your EC’s are your weak point, and your GPA to some extent. </p>
