<p>What about the other 3 though…?</p>

4

<p>Dunno enough about Rochester and UCSD to make any type of judgment (Sorries D:)</p>

<p>UC’s: In, especially considering the percentage of their population that’s Asian. UC Berkeley is the only place that might be a high match.
Stanford: Reach for sure for anyone, regardless of test scores / EC’s
Caltech: Same as Stanford - their small student body makes it extremely difficult to be accepted.
UChicago: High match
Brown: Low reach
MIT:Reach. Personally, I think that Caltech is easier cause of the whole in-state factor.
Cambridge: Depends. Are you IB? Do you have the AP Exam scores? And are you willing to take the risk of not being 100% guaranteed admission until ~July after Senior year?</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>Wow you took BC as a freshman?? wow…</p>

<p>Honestly (as a person who doesn’t know much about admissions), I think you have a really good chance at all schools except for Stanford, but even there you have good chance? Perhaps same goes for MIT. Did you visit these schools? - I’m pretty scared I wouldn’t like MIT if I visit it…so I won’t visit it.</p>

6

<p>very high chance at all UC’s. MIT/Caltech are good chances as well. im unsure about the others, but your stats are pretty amazing</p>

7

<p>Ucs- in
Rochester-in</p>

8

<p>Rochester- in
UCLA- in
Berekely- in
UCSD- in
Stanford- mid-reach
Caltech- low reach/high match</p>

9

<p>Great stats. I’d say you’d get into everything, but Stanford may be a reach. Caltech you probably have a very good chance.</p>

10

<p>Bumpbumpbump.</p>

11

<p>Honestly, you are more than qualified to get into any school in the country. It’s just a matter of how competitive the applicants are this year. Whatever happens, you should be extremely proud of your accomplishments.</p>

12

<p>Oh man, Caltech a low reach/match? I give up trying to make sense of what kids think.</p>

13

<p>Im gonna go an say your in to everywhere except brown, stanford, MIT, cambridge. Those are always kind of random, but i think are more of mid/low-match type schools for you. Your scores are ridiculously good btw.</p>
