thank u~~~</p>

<p>If you think University of Virginia is a reach, then University of Michigan would also be, although I think they are both matches/slight reaches.
Cornell is a reach, not a match
UIUC is a match, not a saftey (especially for engineering)</p>

<p>The rest look good, but I would really narrow down your list. Apply to colleges because you like them, not because they are presitgious.</p>

<p>thank u very much
and i just copied the college list from princeton review
have to make up my own later
thanx</p>

<p>i disagree with atomic about umich. umich is easy as heck to get into, i know people with lower than 90 avg and 1260 SAT that gets in</p>

<p>Urbana? match? lol...atomic, you g2 do your research</p>

5

<p>University of Michigan is actually on the same level as UVA and the best state school in the country. It's not "easy as heck" to get into by any means. I seriously hope by asking if UIUC being a match you were inferring that it was a reach. It's engineering school is top notch, it is definitely not a safety and probably a slight reach. You're the one who has to do the research...</p>

<p>

What about UC Berkeley?</p>

7

<p>my friend, if she applies early, she will definitely get in</p>

<p>UVA accepts less than 35% of out of staters that apply, michigan accepts much more</p>

<p>you may know your numbers, atom, but you dunno the game</p>

8

<p>fight! fight! fight! fight!</p>

9

<p>u think cornell is a match, ru insane?????????????</p>

10

<p>once again, that's not wut i think
i just got the results from princeton
well, i guess it's not accurate then
nd by the way, im very sane</p>

11

<p>If you don't apply, your automatically rejected... never give up;)</p>

12

<p>stop saying "nd" as a substitute for "and"</p>

<p>It's one extra letter - beleive me, it won't waste your life typing.</p>

13

<p>ur reading score is more than 100 pts below the average verbal at cornell.</p>

14

<p>what's your class rank, kyui</p>

15

<p>that's why i said i've no clue
also the reason im takin it again</p>

16

<p>im in top 2%</p>

17

<p>cali boy, for engineering, verbal isn't as high as a priority if her strong side are math and science. and since she is still eligible for toefl, this is certainly not as much as a weak point as you think it is.</p>

18

<p>ru kidding, the average SAT for cornell engineers is like a 1480, good look. I have seen kids like you get in with low verbal (with high Toefel).</p>

19

<p>toefl- exactly my point</p>

20

<p>Don't people agree that UIUC is definitely not a safety?</p>

<p>As for a comment before, yes UC Berkeley is on the same level as UMich and UVA, but it's a UC which makes it a lot harder to get in out of state.</p>

<p>What website did you use for these results, kyui?</p>
