Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi I am a Korean student, just came to America last year as a Junior
I'm in a private Catholic school in Illinois
my ACT is 33, English 32, Math 35, Reading 32, Science 32
GPA 94% weighted, 95% uw -( I did not have much chance to have honors/ap classes)
I am currently taking 5 AP classes as a senior,
Euro, Calc AB, Lang. Comp, Biology, Physics C and they are all between 92~95% </p>

<p>I do not have many ECs either;
half year of Model UN club
1.5 years of volunteering in library
half year of tutoring
in summer I volunteered in a college for tech crew
Translating volunteer for last two years
Math Team captain for this year (several regional awards and in school awards, one state competition 10th place)</p>

<p>Toefl 104, and Subject test : Math(2) 800, Physics 750</p>

<p>I am applying for
Georgia Tech, EA
Notre Dame (I thought I would have higher chance because I'm in a catholic school)
Northwestern (as early decision, no f/a)
UC Berkeley
UCLA
UIUC
UMich
Wisconsin Madison
all for engineering</p>

<p>Do you guys think I have a good chance on those schools??</p>

<p>What’s your budget? Are you a permanent resident (with a State) or are you on a student visa?</p>

<p>I’m international student with visa, and I could afford up to 60,000 a year</p>

<p>Georgia Tech, EA => good chance, it’s a match
Notre Dame => match
Northwestern => reach, you’ll need the ED bump
UC Berkeley => reach but possible
UCLA => reach but possible
UIUC => match
UMich => reach but possible
Wisconsin Madison=> safety if you apply by the end of October</p>

<p>Great chance except UCLA and U Mich.</p>

<p>Glad that you can pay for school, otherwise it would be much much harder</p>

<p>Thanks a lot! Yeah I am glad that I could pay :)</p>

<p>For UMich CoE, it would be a low reach as you are right at the admission average. The admission rate is getting lower and lower that it was 20% this year. For UIUC, it depends on your intended major.
For te cost, UMich CoE would be over $60k by the time you reach upperclassmen years.</p>
