<p>Group 2
Carnegie Mellon (Info System, switched to ED II right after i heard from cornell, defered again), U Michigan(in) , Tufts </p>

<p>Group 3
USC, U Illinois Urbana Champaign, Boston University, Northeastern(EA, in with half tuition scholarship)</p>

<p>anyway, i say reed and UW(public school stats oriented) might not be sure bet..other than that i think you are in at all</p>

<p>i think u can aim higher</p>

<p>my college advisor did my groupings for me and I ploughed through the list to find schools that accept in favor of hotchkiss, like tufts, top school, yes, but they accept more than half of the kids with above 2.8 every year...so try ploughing through choate's list that way</p>

<p>For Reed, your SATs are a bit above average, but your GPA (assuming weighted at about 3.5) is quite low. You would probably need high rigor, great essay, recs and interview to have a good chance of getting in.</p>
