<p>i've been going over and over my college list...and i regret applying to all reach schools basically...here's where i applied, most of them for school of engineering/compsci:</p>

<p>cmu, rice, northwestern, stanford, brown, columbia, upenn, jhu, duke, cornell, hmc, amherst, ucberkeley, ucla, ucsd, uci, usc, cal poly slo</p>

<p>i didnt initially intend to apply to these seemingly pick-the-top-of-the-list schools, but these schools had the best compsci programs...
keep in mind that one of my UC essays SUUUUCKED!
commonapp essay: pretty good
recs: probably mediocre</p>

<p>Thats a monstrous list of top schools! wow. Your chances are probably bleak for stanford, columbia, upenn, jhu, duke, rice, and amherst. But You seem like a good candidate for the rest! Cal Poly is probably a safety.</p>

3

<p>so for like northwestern cornell brown and UCs id be fine?</p>

4

<p>Yeah most likely from what I know. jhu is very much like northwestern but you have a better shot at northwestern because of some of your ec’s. I wouldn’t say fine because all of these colleges could be crapshoots. But I would say above average chances for them.</p>

5

<p>do you think i’d get into at least one of the privates? :expressionless: i know it’s hard to say…but i just want to feel better about myself…</p>

<p>lol i think i’m just unrealistic</p>

6

<p>the only reason i applied to amherst northwestern and rice is that i was able to forward my questbridge app, thinking that it might help my chances lol</p>

7

<p>I am not sure. But can you chance me back on my chances at Vanderbilt?</p>

8

<p>not if you don’t even chance me…</p>

9

<p>Relax. UCI and Cal Poly are safeties. UCSD and USC are likelies. And although it’s impossible to predict the others, you are in the ballpark for several. Good luck!</p>

<p>CMU: Low reach
Rice: Reach
NWU: Reach
JHU: Reach
Stanford: Reach
UPenn: Reach
Columbia: Reach
Duke: Reach
Cornell: Low reach (ladies are favored heavily in CS and engineering there)
HMC: Low reach
Amherst: Reach
Berkeley: High match
UCLA: High match
UCSD: Match
UCI: Low match
Cal Poly: Low match
USC: High match</p>

<p>Thanks everyone. Very reassuring. Wouldn’t mind some more chances though :)</p>

13

<p>I believe I did give you my opinion on your chances. I dont understand what you were expecting…</p>

14

<p>The sheer amount of schools you applied to is a guarantee you’ll get at least into one of them, also the fact that you’re a low income female applying to STEM schools is a huge boost. So I’m basically saying, be at ease, you’ll get into somewhere good. </p>

<p>I’d really appreciate it if you chanced back! </p>

15

<p>Wow. Compared to most people in high school you have better grades and ECs. You’ll be fine at any school.</p>

<p>thanks for all your input guys :slight_smile: what about privates?</p>
