<p>Is this a match or reach? thanks.</p>

<p>match, definitely
if you can improve your test scores, you might even get some cash
my UW GPA and class rank were similar
I had a few less APs
and similar activites, and I got a scholarship, so, just work on those test scores!</p>

<p>Neither. It is, for you, a safety. Your courseload, gpa, and rank have all but assured you a spot. Your ACT score could due to be boosted, particularly if you want a chance at a better school, but it isn't out of range at Case.</p>

<p>I got in, albeit without scholarship. For the sake of comparison, I scored around a 1950 (exact number escapes me) on my SAT, and a cumulative of about 2100. A few ECs, most of which were minor, other than some noteworthy volunteer work with political groups and several awards won from Model UN. Grade-wise, my gpa was deflated by having spent two years in an elite New England private school. Ended up with a 3.5 weighted upon graduation, not clue what it was unweighted, but certainly no better than a 3.35.</p>

<p>On a sidenote, good job on AP Stats. I believe that is the one class that you need a 5 to get credit for.</p>

<p>test score is around 25%tile at Case, so i wouldn't call it a safety. Everything else is fine.</p>

<p>academically, definitely a match
financial reach (b/c of test scores) assuming no need-based aid</p>

<p>thanks for the feedback, its very reassuring and i think i can strengthen my case after the ACT this september</p>
