<p>Stanford - high reach
MIT - high reach
University of Michigan - match
Notre Dame-(legacy, father and uncle) - in
University of Chicago -low reach/high match
Dartmouth - low reach/high match</p>

<p>I don't think college admissions officers look <em>that</em> closely at correlations between AP and SAT grades.</p>
