<p>You have an excellent shot at all of those schools.
I would say:</p>

<p>UCLA: In
UC Berkeley: Low Match
Georgetown: Low Match
NYU Stern: Low Match
Brown: High Match
Yale: Low Reach [ as for everybody.]</p>

<p>I would not be surprised if you didn’t get into all of your planned schools!</p>

<p>I agree with the poster above, you have favorable chances at these schools, and it helps that you live in California for the UCs.
UCLA-match
UC Berkeley-match
Gerogetown-match
NYU Stern-match
Brown-low reach
Yale-reach
Good luck!</p>

4

<p>UCLA-match
UC Berkeley-match
You should get into all the UCs…</p>

<p>Georgetown-match
NYU Stern-match
Brown-low reach
Yale-reach</p>

5

<p>Yale is a reach, but I’d say that the others are matches. Good job!</p>

<p>Please chance me:</p>

6

<p>Yeah…I’ve seen your threads around. :)</p>

<p>I think that you’ll do okay in the admissions process, even considering the growing numbers. Yale, GTown and Stern are reaches for everyone.</p>

7

<p>You’re in at all the UCs.
Georgetown-match to high match
NYU Stern-match
Brown-high match to low reach
Yale-reach </p>

<p>Honestly, try to make yourself seem less Asian in the essays (wow this sounds horrible). </p>

<p>Bump, and thanks to all of you who posted! I really appreciate the feedback. :)</p>

9

<p>Your rank/Asian/CA will make the ivies hard. Yes to the others.</p>

10

<p>judging by our hs numbers…</p>

<p>UCLA, UC Berkeley: prob in
Brown, Columbia: reach
Georgetown, NYU Stern: match/in
Yale: high reach
Reed: idk how selective it is, but based on the kids i know who were accepted…in</p>

<p>I would guess something along the lines of 6 acceptances 1 waitlist 1 rejection
basically ur set</p>

<p>for the reaches the best thing you can do is write a really unique essay, and make sure the teachers who write your apps praise you as one of the best students they every had.</p>

11

<p>You’re solid for the UCs, NYU and Reed, I would say the Ivys are a low reach, with the exception of Yale, I would say that’s just a genuine reach, but you gotta have goals. Georgetown is a low reach i would say.</p>

<p>I think you have a pretty good chance at NYU, UCLA, UCB. Also I think Columbia and Georgetown are a bit of a reach, but you should be fine! Your SAT score is amazing good job!!! and good luck =]]</p>
