St. louis, Cornell, Brown, Stanford, U Penn, Northwestern, Columbia, Duke, UC Berkeley, UCLA, USC, I know these are like the "gods" of the colleges but please tell me if you guys think I can get in. Also can you guys tell me what colleges I can get into?</p>

<p>LOR: I can get two medium to great ones and one from either a NASA engineer or UCLA professor, </p>

<p>So what do you guys think?</p>

<p>Wow, a recommendation from a NASA engineer? Impressive! (Or maybe that`s just because I think anything NASA is cool.) Anyways…</p>

<p>I think HYPS are high reaches (but they are reaches for just about everybody). You have a decent chance at most of the other ones, namely Brown, Northwestern, UCLA, USC, and Wash U in St. Louis. Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks for replying!</p>

<p>UCLA, UCB, USC, you are 90% in with your stats.</p>

<p>Any more suggestions?? How about Safeties? Can I put Boston College as a safety, please give me some suggestions!</p>
