<p>PS I don't know what mid-reach, low-reach, etc. mean, so if you use those terms, could you just explain briefly what it means.</p>

<p>bummmmp…</p>

<p>First off, I am confused because if your college class year is 2014 then you would already be in college but that being said, I think that your extracirriculars are definitely your biggest strength and that, coupled with your URM status and being from a state that is not over-represented (e.g.- NY, NJ, etc.) gives you a decent chance at your target schools. Unfortunately, I do not think that your academics are up to par with the Ivies and Stanford (you should aim for above a 3.75 gpa and breaking 700 in your SATs and SAT IIs). Write amazing essays and I think you have a good shot at your targets (and obviously your safeties).</p>

<p>Oh you’re in at Princeton! That explains a lot! Maybe I should read all of someone’s post before posting a reply</p>

<p>lol, everyone’s scared to chance someone who’s already in at Princeton</p>

<p>Lol. I just always wanted to do one. I got into all my schools minus Stanford and UCLA. I was just curious to see what my chances would have been.</p>
