<p>UPenn: Reach
JHU: Reach
UMI: High match (can you pay full-freight?)</p>

<p>Is your safety at home?</p>

3

<p>UMich with SAT 2150 (which is near admission average) would be a very high match for you.</p>

4

<p>Key element for all international students:
Will you be applying for/hoping for financial aid?
How much can your parents afford?</p>

5

<p>UMich is high match! UPenn and JHU are reaches. Apply ED to Penn I’ve heard it helps. Overall, UMich is your best bet. Good luck!</p>

<p>Thank you so much for you suggestion .
The fees part of it would not be a problem ,I would not be applying for aid .
I forgot to mention I have a sibling in UCB ,so will that help?
What can I do to get into JHU ,Because the ED acceptance rate is high there and i am really keen in going there</p>

<p>For JHU, give it a try. But you may want to improve your CR score before applying ED there. The higher ED acceptance rate does not mean it will increase the chance for anybody applying.</p>
