<p>Only have basis for these:</p>

<p>UCB: Match
UCLA: Match
UCSD: Safety
UCD: Safety
USC: Match</p>

<p>Does anybody have predictions for the private schools? :)</p>

4

<p>WUSTL - High Match/Match
Hopkins - Match
USC - Low Match/Safety
Columbia - Reach</p>

<p>My bet is that you'll be accepted at WUSTL, Hopkins, and USC. Columbia, on the other hand, accepts such a small percentage of applicants - 9 to 10% - that it's impossible to say anything more than it's a reach.</p>

<p>cf07:</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Match
UCSD: Safe Match

<p>I think you're good for all the UCs. To be more specific,
UCB - match
UCLA - match/safety
UCD - safety</p>

<p>USC - math/safety
Don't know about the other three, but I think you have a great shot anywhere you go. And holy damn @your senior year schedule
good luck and happy new year</p>

<p>UCB: safe match
UCLA: safe match
UCSD: safety
UCD: super safety
WUSTL: match
Hopkins: match
USC: safe match, competitive for merit scholarship
Columbia: slight reach</p>

<p>I predict you get into all of those schools except perhaps Columbia.</p>
