<p>what’s your unweighted?</p>

<p>These schools are all very similar in difficulty. I think you need to add some safeties (american, U south carolina, south carolina state, etc)</p>

<p>Duke–Reach
Emory–Low reach/High match
Georgetown–Reach/Low reach
Rice–Reach/low reach
Vanderbilt–Reach/low reach
WashU–Reach/low reach</p>

<p>Get yourself a safety!</p>

<p>Duke: Reach
Emory: Match
Georgetown: High match (if you chose to major in a STEM field)/Reach (SFS or otherwise)
Rice: Reach
Vanderbilt: Reach
WUSTL: Reach</p>

5

<p>My unweighted is 3.9</p>

<p>Don’t worry. I applied to all my safeties early and have already gotten acceptances. I wouldn’t apply to all reaches!</p>

<p>URhodeIsland,</p>

<p>I have no doubt you’ll get into Tulane, American, and Alabama.
I’m not very familiar with Pepperdine.
U of Southern Cal: High Match
Wake Forest: Match
Emory: Low match
Vanderbilt: High Match/Maybe a reach
Rice: High Match/Maybe a reach</p>

<p>Thanks. I’m not sure why my post was deleted…? Your schools are all match/reach i think because your EC’s are weak. If your essays are as strong as you say they are, then I think
Emory is a match, Duke is a reach, and Rice, Vandy & Washu are all low reaches.</p>

<p>my original post was kind of doubting the strength of your essays i guess</p>
