<p>Brown: mid reach
Columbia: mid reach
Berkeley: high match/low reach
UPenn (dad went there, grandpa taught there): match
UChicago: low reach
U of M: low match</p>
<p>you’ve got a high chance of being accepted to at least one of your reaches. I wish you the best of luck!</p>

<p>U of Penn and U of M are matches for sure
Is the GPA weighted? if so, Berkeley is a low reach. If it’s unweighted and the weighted is 4.15+, Berkeley is a clean match. Also consider SAT reasoning or increase ACT to 32+</p>
<p>The rest are reaches/low reaches 
Good luck, you seem like a rad chick. I’m Jewish too, but not particularly religious about it. Thanks for chancing me earlier! Hope your dedication paid off, looks like you worked really hard.</p>

<p>Some people in this thread really have no idea what they are talking about. Penn is definitely not a match. OP is not ED there so the Legacy will not help as much as it should.</p>
<p>But that aside, there’s not really much that anyone can add. You’ve gotten a lot opinions that are [mostly] in agreement.</p>
<p>In my opinion (IMO?)
GOOD scores, nice ecs and gpa (i would take out gymnastics, you already have a lot of ecs and since you only did it as a freshman year)</p>
<p>nice volunteering.
I think academically (maybe test scores could be a little higher), and extracurricularly you are qualified, so it really comes down to the subjective things. </p>
<p>Really try to display your personality and who you are throughout the application. Admissions officers will probably appreciate your unique energy.</p>
<p>So, I say
Brown, Columbia (Reach-it’s a reach for everyone), Berkeley(low reach), UPenn (match–you’re super connected here) UChicago (high match), U of M (safety? i’m not too familiar with this school).</p>
<p>Brown - It is difficult for anyone to get in, however I wouldn’t be surprised if you were admitted.
Columbia - Not particularly sure actually. I don’t know about the selectivity of this school.
Berkeley - Slight reach, not bad chances of getting in.
UPenn - Match!
UChicago - Low reach, or match.
U of M. - Safety!</p>
<p>Retake the Bio SAT II, or just not send it in, it looks out of place with your other high SAT II’s.
Also why don’t you go in the journalism/writing field?</p>
<p>Good luck to you! I think you’re quite on the right track. Great grades, and I think your ACT/SAT IIs will be solid by the time you apply. U of M seems like a given, and since you have family connections to UPenn, you could end up being admitted there. I like your ECs, but def start a debate team! I loooove debate haha. Berkeley will be REALLY hard to get into OOS, and if you’re that good a writer, you could really master the UChicago app. Brown and Columbia are possible too, just keep up the great work :)</p>
