<p>Great stats and decent EC’s.
Chances wise:
Reach-Wharton, Princeton
Slight Reach/Match-Cornell, Carnegie Mellon<br>
Match-U of M (Ross), all UCs, Santa Clara, UVA</p>

<p>The only reason I consider Wharton, Princeton, Cornell, and maybe Carnegie small reaches, is that they can be crapshoots. With stats like yours you have a great shot, but many applicants will look like you. For those schools, the essays/recs will determine it. Good Luck to you but I’m pretty sure you won’t need it :)</p>

<p>I’m applying ED Wharton too! Chance me back if you can:
