I would like to know my safeties and reaches!

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I have chosen a few universities after some research and would like to start eliminating some of them! But first I would really like to categorize them by safeties, matches, and reaches. So, if you could look at my stats below, and the list of universities I have made and could give me your opinion, I would be really grateful! I would really like to lower my list to about 2 safeties, 4 matches, and 2 reaches. There is the possibility that all of these are reaches and that is definitely something I would need to know as well. Thank you in advance for your help!</p>

<p>I do not expect anyone to be familiar with every school in particular if you are able to just advise on a few that is still very welcome!</p>

<p>This is a bump.</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance at UF and BU. cornell and Berkeley will be reaches. Apply to some less selective schools as well just to ensure you won’t have to go to community college…</p>

5

<p>You can put Cornell, Caltech, and Berkeley down as reaches</p>

6

<p>Are any matches? I don’t believe any would actually be safeties, but could someone recommend similar schools that might be safeties?</p>
