<p>Those are all highly competitive schools, but I'd say you have a fair shot at all of them. Your ECs are good, and the quantity of work experience you have also looks appealing. You could really help your chances if you boost the SAT score a little bit. But overall, nice app.</p>

<p>UPenn - Reach
MIT - Reach
Harvard - Reach
Yale - Reach
Duke - High Match (I'd be surprised if you didn't get in here)
UT - safety</p>

<p>When people say reach what does that mean? Do i have like a slim to none chance?</p>

7

<p>Anyone got an answer?</p>

8

<p>It means you have a decent shot, but you're not in for sure. Kinda like you're borderline</p>

9

<p>Wow borderline? So is it that with reach schools, your stats are a little low but there is still a chance.</p>
