<p>wait does a reach mean, “oh it’s too far of a reach, don’t bother you’ll never get in?” or is it more like, “it’s a mayyyyybe, but still apply anyway”?</p>

<p>Still apply anyway, with your SAT scores, EC’s, plus the fact that your insane AP course load heavily weights a 3.6, you would be stupid not to. Are your chances small- statistically yes, everyone’s are. But you’ve worked too hard and achieved too much to not even apply.</p>
