<p>With those SATs, you are applying to way too many reaches. Cornell, Tufts, and UCLA are huge reaches. Mcgill is a slight reach, BU is a good match. I'm not sure why you think Villanova is a safety...it looks like a slight reach to me. Rochester is a safe match.</p>

<p>villanova?...really?...the international admissions officer basically told me I was in...yeah mcgill is a probable....they've alway accepted all the applicants from my school...i think there was only 1 person 2 yrs ago who didnt get in..same for tufts actually....only 1 person didnt get in last year...n 2 others got scolarships....funily enough no one went in the end though....the admissions officer seemed pretty ****ed this year when he came to interview us</p>
