<p>CA resident, in order of preference</p>

<p>match ucb [eecs]
reach stanford
reach princeton [maybe won't apply]
match harvey mudd
-------------------- <- the line between happy and sad
reach cornell
match carnegie mellon
safety ucsd</p>

<p>reach < 70%
match > 70%
safety = 4.4+gpa/2300+ kids don't get rejected from ucsd</p>

<p>i was going to ask if there are any more schools that i should apply to, but i really only want to go to berkeley. i guess the most important thing i can do right now is to get started on the essays....</p>

<p>I don't know how you could consider Cornell a reach and HMC a match. Their selectivity is basically equivalent.</p>

<p>I would not apply to princeton, but apply to Caltech instead.</p>
