<p>Your test scores can only carry you so far. ECs are pretty good though. You really are able to pull 30 hours a week in a lab during the school year? Hmm…</p>

<p>Cornell and WM are high matches because they’re highly competitive schools. Did you think they were safeties or something?</p>

5

<p>Stanford drops freshman grades. I personally think that is your best chance.:)</p>

6

<p>oh no sorry. I thought high match meant that you were def getting in because stats matched well. Does stanford really do that?!</p>

7

<p>Princeton and Stanford both drop freshman year grades… unfortunately, they are tough as balls to get into, so… </p>

<p>Otherwise, Stanford and Ivies are reaches. Everything else is match, except for your safety of course.</p>
