<p>Chance me at (Safety/Match/Reach?):</p>
<li>Wake Forest </li>
<li>U of Washington (in state) </li>
<li>Santa Clara (EA) </li>
<li>Pepperdine </li>
<li>U of San Diego (EA) -<br></li>
<li>U of Miami FL (EA) </li>
<li>Northeastern (EA/Legacy) - </li>
<li>Boston U </li>
<li>Wisconsin -<br></li>
<li>Loyola Marymount -<br></li>
<li>Oregon </li>
</ol>
<p>(Does anyone know if I would have a better shot at Miami FL applying EA or RD?)</p>
<p>that ACT scores hurts a bit in admissions, I'd suggest retaking it and trying for something from 28-30. As for the schools you mentioned</p>
<ol>
<li>Wake Forest Kinda Big Reach</li>
<li>U of Washington (in state) </li>
<li>Santa Clara (EA) </li>
<li>Pepperdine Reach</li>
<li>U of San Diego (EA) -</li>
<li>U of Miami FL (EA) I would think its a Reach but hey, beats me!</li>
<li>Northeastern (EA/Legacy) - Safety (esp. with legacy)</li>
<li>Boston U Good Match</li>
<li>Wisconsin -</li>
<li>Loyola Marymount - Good Match</li>
<li>Oregon </li>
</ol>
<p>The blank ones I just couldn't tell ya. Again, retake ACT!</p>
<p>I echo that Wisconson and Wake Forest are clear reaches. Miami and BU look like low reaches. Don't know about Pepperdine, Santa Clara or San Diego. Northeastern looks like a match if you apply EA with legacy. The others look safe. For Miami, check the most recent edition of US News guide; historically, the difference in admission rates for those applying ED/EA vs. RD has been significant, so it may make sense to apply EA/ED. The most important factor that would improve your chances is a higher ACT score, so you think this is possible, I would take the test again even if this makes EA/ED impossible.</p>
