32to 33 will make very little difference!,

<p>She has a 31. (It’s not clear to me whether most schools superscore the ACT.) And I said 33+. I was trying to be nice, because I would say that she really needs a 34+ to get into many of the schools on her list as an unhooked student with her profile. (Not all, of course.)</p>

I doubt that those schools would be “out-of-reach” for the OP. The bottom quarter of students of those schools have SATs equal to what the OP has. And her GPA is in the upper half of those students admitted to those schools. She has a chance – something like from 10% to 40% – at those schools.

<p>The bottom quarter at the schools in question–HYPSCB–is populated almost entirely by hooked students: recruited athletes, URMs, legacies, et al. An unhooked student needs to be in the top 25%, and even then has less than a 10% chance of admittance at any of the above.</p>

<p>What about Washington University in St.Louis? The name is a mouthful, but it fits some of your criteria and is a great school :)</p>

<p>God, is there ANY thread that doesn’t turn into Berkeley-pushing? Give it a rest already.</p>
