<p>Harvard is not a good bet.</p>
<p>I know suze, I'm not applying to Harvard.</p>
<p>lol no one read your post apparently... I think you have a good shot at Duke and Cornell. I don't agree that PSU is a slight reach. It is definately at most a match.</p>
<p>Just because you go to a private school doesn't mean that it's on top of the world. My school is public and is probably harder than most private schools</p>
<p>Yale, I'm not pretending I'm on top of the world. I am just saying that my school does not have grade inflation like most public schools.</p>

<p>The OP asked about Penn State Schreyer Honors, not about Penn State.</p>
<p>Penn State Schreyer is extremely difficult to get into. Penn State is not.</p>
<p>Penn State Schreyer is a Reach (maybe Slight Reach to Reach).</p>
<p>Penn State is a match.</p>
<p>Advice appreciated</p>
