<p>Do you go to Northgate by any chance?</p>

<p>I would say the UC's are high matches/low reaches, the Ivies will always be at minimum a low reach. And I sorta spaced out and forgot the other schools.</p>

3

<p>Nevermind what I said, everything strong, the UC's are almost-their matches, Cornell should be a match too, Columbia/Brown/Amherst are all low reaches.
NYU/UoC/Rice are high matches. Northwestern is a low reach as well.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Woah, IBer, rare. But I don't get it, how are you only enrolled in 2 IB classes this year?</p>

<p>What is "Global Studies HL"? My school doesn't offer it. we are automatically forced to do History HL and English HL, and then choose 1-2 more HLs.</p>

<p>Is IB Psychology something like TOK or is it completely different?</p>

<p>Invisible Children sounds godly, as long as you can emphasize what you actually did in it. Anyone can be a member, but did you do anything?</p>

<p>I'm not sure the paper winning an award counts as YOU winning an award, especially since you were just a news writer.</p>

<p>Invisible Children is godly. They've done a lot to try and raise money for schools to be built in Africa.</p>
