OOS for Berkeley; do you have $55k per year to pay for fees? Your ACT scores are not competitive for Berkeley.

thanks guys, i just had a question: what’s the difference between high match and low match?

Georgia Tech: High Match
Univ. Rochester: Match
Johns Hopkins: Reach
UC B: Low Reach

Your ECs and GPA are both strong, but like many others have mentioned, your ACT score is low for these colleges.
High match means the college will take a little more effort to get into, but with your current app you should be good.
Low match means the college is almost a safety school for you and you will most likely get in (unless your essays turn out to be total garbage).
