<p>Hi. It always annoys me when people just say “match. Chance back.” So I’ll try to make my response worth it.</p>

<p>I’ll start off with what I think for your list.</p>

<p>UC Berkeley- High match/ low reach
UCLA- high match/ low reach
UC Irvine- not sure
UC Davis- not sure
UC San Diego- low match/ match
Boston College- match
USC- match
NYU- match
Cornell- low reach/ reach
Northeastern- low match/ match</p>

<p>I definitely feel as though you have a great list of schools. As shown by your interest in your heritage through your extracurriculars, you are very passionate in what you do. That’s great. All college love to see that. Your scores are on the cusp of 50% or so for your reach schools (Berkeley, UCLA, and Cornell) and your GPA is only slightly below average. To me, that seems to be the only factor that might hold you back. However, if you wrote solid essays that reflect well upon who you are as a person and how much your extracurriculars mean to you, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t get into at least 1 of the three that I had previously mentioned. </p>

<p>Good luck and I hope my comments help. I do feel like I should say, though, that I am not too familiar with west coast schools beyond some of their average accepted scores (and even those are ballpark estimates) so take what I say with a grain of salt.</p>

<p>If you could chance back, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks
