<p>You won’t get into Penn or Columbia. High reach, I mean. Unless there’s something going in your app that I don’t see that changes the game.</p>

<p>USC is a high match.
UNC is a match.
Good chance.</p>

<p>Others are very good chances.</p>

<p>U Penn: Reach
Columbia: Reach
UNC: Reach (but only because you’re an out-of-stater)
USC: Low reach
U Florida: Low match
U Georgia: Safety
U Alabama: Safety</p>

<p>Completely agree with OP, UPenn and Columbia are unrealistic, your GPA is extremely low for them, your ECs are average (the only thing you have going for you is your ACT which is good, but not enough to compensate). The others are rather realistic.</p>

<p>Thanks for all of the replies! Is UNC “officially” harder on OOS students? I know UF is residential blind, but I am unclear on UNC and USC.</p>

6

<p>I assumed he meant USC as U Southern California, which, like any private U, is residential-blind.</p>

<p>U South Carolina, on the other hand, I don’t know. </p>

<p>UNC has a strict quota on out-of-staters, making it almost as hard to get in as Duke (from an OOS viewpoint)</p>

7

<p>Yes, I did mean U of Southern Cal. Thanks for the insight, I am still looking for schools to apply to around UNC’s level, any recommendations?</p>

8

<p>U Wisconsin or UIUC are low matches (they’re around UNC level but far more accessible to out-of-staters)</p>

<p>Id say right now Wharton and Columbia are reaches. You need to get that score to a 2100+ for those schools (and thats a minimum). I dunno much about the other colleges.

All the best.</p>

<p>Chance back please?

<p>Thanks guyinblue
Does anyone know if the Ivies look at both the SAT and the ACT, or just the higher? I also read that if you are submitting your ACT, SAT Subject Tests are not a requirement. Does anyone know if this is true?</p>

11

<p>Youre welcome!
Depends on which one you submit! Ive usually seen people submit either ACT or SAT (whichever they score better on).
Yes it is true.
As far as I know, Harvard, Yale and Princeton require either : SAT+ SATII’s OR ACT+Writing.
Hope this helped :slight_smile:
All the best!</p>

12

<p>Yeah, this helps a lot. Obviously I will submit my ACT, which is great news for me!</p>

<p>Thanks again, good luck!</p>

13

<p>No. You need SATiis if you submit the ACT — except when it comes to Yale.</p>

14

<p>I saw on Columbia’s website choose SAT 1 and SAT 2s or ACT with writing.</p>

15

<p>bummmmmmmmp</p>

16

<p>I think you have a good chance of UF if you’re out of state, and are a shoo-in if you are in-state. This is because Florda colleges don’t accept many from out of state. But either way, you have the stats for their honors program so in my eyes its an acceptance. Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply, do you guys think UNC or Duke would be a better shot? I am slightly leaning towards Duke if it is 50/50.</p>

<p>Thanks again!</p>

18

<p>UNC is less selective than Duke. So.</p>

19

<p>Ivies are unrealistic, everything else is fine.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply aweatherly!</p>
