<p>sorry, but what's the difference between match, low match & safety?</p>

7

safety are the ones u KNOW u'll get accepted</p>

8

<p>any other comments? :(</p>

9

<p>Your definitely getting into UCLA either out of state or in state</p>

10

<p>do you think i'll have a good chance of getting in JHU if i applied early?</p>

11

<p>JHU has like 60% early decision admit, so i think you have a good chance. your ec's and your test scores are amazing. gpa may be on the low side, but i think if you write incredible essays, you'll be okay.</p>

12

<p>JHU & UCLA doesn't look at freshman year, so depending on your GPA breakdown that could either really help or really hurt you. If you have a 3.8 or so UW for 10-12, I would be surprised if you weren't accepted ED to JHU or OOS to UCLA.</p>
