<p>I'm pretty sure that Tufts, Columbia, and Penn are for sure reaches. I can get a pretty good recommendation from a professor who is Columbia alum who has offered to write me one. A professor who is Tufts alum is willing to write me one as well. However with that professor I got the lowest grade on my transcript which is a B+. I know that's not too shabby by any means. </p>
<p>I am wondering what would be my status be for other schools or my chances be for each school? FYI, I am a California resident. If I get a reasonable gpa this semester, my gpa would go up to about a 3.75 or a 3.8 at best. Any help or advice would be appreciated about my chances and what I can do to better my chances!</p>
