<p>Bump!</p>

<p>Your grades and ECs are solid overall, so yes, you certainly have a chance at all the schools you mentioned, as well as the Ivies. Try for a higher SAT score, and then you’ll be all set.</p>

5

<p>The weakest part of your stats is the predicted test scores. Did you get your junior PSAT back yet? </p>

6

<p>@3boystogo hopefully getting them this week. I’ll keep the thread updated.</p>

<p>PSAT SCORE- 195</p>

8

<p>Berkeley you will likely be full pay or if you get anything the minimum will be the oos fee ok 23k ,plus 10k loans and self help plus your EFC. Research before you waste time on oos publics.</p>

9

<p>You’re a match at UF. You’ll need to score better (than predicted by your PSAT) on the SAT to be a match at Duke or Vanderbilt. For example, at Vandy:</p>

<p>For the Middle 50% of admitted students:
SAT Critical Reading—710-780
SAT Math—720-800
SAT Writing—680-770</p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>

<p>Because you are out of state, Cal is looking very unlikely. Ivy leagues/Duke are high reaches as well. You should be good for UF. Vanderbilt is low reach. </p>
