<p>mmm, I only know about the Illinois schools.. since I'm from Illinois.
so lemme rate you on that, kay? :D</p>
<p>University of Chicago -- Reach
Northwestern -- Reach
University of Illinois -- Match</p>
<p>You're ACT is a bit low, try testing it out a little more.
Good luck!</p>
<p>thanks, I'm also plan on taking the SAT II's for literature and math level 2- I got a 670 on US History. Any more chance-ers?</p>
<p>I like how your profile reads-- you're a strong candidate, a pat on the back for that!</p>
<p>For Chicago especially, try to bring out your personality and your intellectual qualities. Since a lot of applicants have similar profiles to yours, try to distinguish yourself by writing honest, interesting, open essays, and for Chicago, make the case of why you belong there.</p>
<p>We could use some rep from the south here at UChicago, but I don't know if that will help your case for admission.</p>
<p>In loose terms:</p>
<p>Chicago, Northwestern: reach</p>
<p>W&M, Emory, UVA, UNC: match (with a good chance of getting into all of them)</p>
<p>UIUC: high safety</p>
<p>maybe look for one more supersafety? other than that, I like your list.</p>
<p>Chicago, Northwestern: reach
W&M, Emory, UVA, UNC: match
UIUC: safety</p>
<p>bump-can anyone recommend another safety school for me that isn't in the southeast?</p>
<p>bump-more opinions would be helpful</p>
<p>I disagree. I believe Chicago can be a very very very low reach if your essays show that you want to go there more than anywhere else. IDK about the others but you have good ecs and you've taken a lot of challenging courses. Good luck and make sure that you show your interest in learning!!!</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses!! One more question....how would I do if I applied to Boston College regular decision?</p>
