<p>WashU: High Match-Low Reach</p>

3

<p>I’m confused, that means I’m a good match for the school, and it’s within my acceptance range, right?</p>

4

<p>Match/ Low Reach. Good EC’s and amazing test scores. Good luck</p>

5

<p>Match/Low Reach means you probably have a pretty good shot at it, but it isn’t guaranteed. Look at the common data set if you want to “calculate” a percentage for yourself.</p>

6

<p>high match/low reach… your score is good… but if you are really doubting it, then maybe you should take the SAT again and let them know? but i think you should be fine with that score</p>

<p>mine please?: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1567285-chance-transfer.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1567285-chance-transfer.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>That’s really good to hear!! Is there anything I can do to improve these chances? And how happy should I be to hear this news haha</p>

8

<p>The bit about being a rapper really stood out to me. Possibly write about it in ur CA essay and try to piece together yourself in your app with your essays.</p>

9

<p>Sadly I already submitted my app… So I can’t change my CA essay. However, I added it in the Additional Details section before I submitted it.</p>

10

<p>Any other thoughts?</p>

<p>I’d give it a low reach. I think wash u will appreciate your extracurricular more because it fits in with their culture. I think going ED doubled your chances tbh. Also, thanks for chancing me :)</p>

<p>I think it’s a match/low reach because ED will definitely boost your chances. Your EC’s are pretty good too. I think your application will go swimmingly! (hah, I’m too funny)</p>

<p>Chance me back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1569148-chance-me-duke-ed-will-chance-back.html#post16507364[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1569148-chance-me-duke-ed-will-chance-back.html#post16507364&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
