<p>bumpppp…</p>

<p>High reach for USC WBB. Reach for Haas, Olin, Marshall. Low reach for Anderson. Matches on the rest.</p>

4

<p>I’m impressed with the art website. Good on you for that…</p>

<p>Except for the fact that you are revealing personal info. Bad idea.</p>

5

<p>UCB: match/high match
UCLA: match
UC Irvine: low match
UCSC: safety
UCSD: low match
USC: match
UWash STL: reach (if this is washu st. louis)</p>

<p>UCs care the most about GPA, and yours is amazing, so that helps your chances a ton. and only send in your ACT, because that SAT isn’t too good. I think you have a solid chance at all of those except for WashU</p>

6

<p>If only your ECs were a little more unique :frowning: You still have an amazing GPA/ACT though, but numbers are only so much for these schools. Assuming your Recs/essays are average:</p>

<p>UCB (Haas)-Low reach
UCLA (Anderson)-There is no Anderson for undergrads sadly, for biz econ- Highish Match
UC Irvine-SAFE
UCSC-SAFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE +$214324342 Scholarship and a human size genetically engineered banana slug
UCSD-SAFE
USC (WBB/Marshall) WBB-Reach Marshall-Highish Match
UWash STL (Olin)-Dont know enough about the school, go to LA/Berk/SC instead though. STL is miserable. </p>

<p>chance back mate?
