<p>You are likely in at all of them except Northwestern, which is a reach. Good list, although you might want a couple more reaches, like Penn or Brown</p>
<p>usc-yes, ucla-yes, ucsd-yes, ucb-reach (out of state), unc chapel hill - decent shot (out of state), michigan (submit now your fine), northwestern (reach), uw (safety)</p>
<p>hey :) your stats are great...no way are you a looser. I think you could even shoot a little higher and add a couple of real reaches..the biggest reach on your list so far is Northwestern. Who knows...I would apply to a true reach school, maybe an ivy like Cornell or Penn, just to see--I think cornell would be a realistic reach for you.</p>
<p>I'm a seattlite myself...Issaquah, actually :)</p>
<p>hey thanks for the posts! i like how you people are normal and nice, unlike a lot of people on this site who are like--BOO u dont have a 1500, u are done for life. anyways, any of u guys know how much emphasis they put on essays (usc/unc/michigan) primarily?</p>
<p>Hey Panther...I think people mellow out a bit once they actually hit college and things get put in a bit more of a perspective ;)</p>
<p>Unfortunately I can't answer your question :( I would say just put your best effort into the essays...judging by your writing SATII (congrats, BTW!) you should be able to pull of a good essay.</p>
<p>i know it looks like i can write, but im not exactly sure how i got such a good writing score (?) and it came semi-out of nowhere...lol...so im deadly worried on essays</p>
<p>Well then I'd give lots of time to think about it, and give copies to people you respect for proofreading/comments. And talk over your ideas with people...I always found that brainstorming with others was a highly effective method of generating good ideas.</p>
