berkeley, mellon, gt= matches</p>

<p>Thanks =]
anyone else?</p>

<p>HYPSM: GPA and SAT scores are a little low, but you should still apply
Chicago: Low-Reach/Upper-Match
Berkeley (assuming in-state), CM, GT: Matches</p>

<p>If you have time:

<p>My Gpa is?</p>

6

<p>Oh sorry, I wasn’t paying close attention and thought it was 4.00 out of 4.67. :P</p>

<p>That gives you a better chance at HYPSM, but they’re still reaches.</p>

7

<p>Berkeley might be tough. With interesting/entertaining essays, you have good chances at GT, UC, and CMU. HYPSM are reaches but not super high reaches given your unique warrior-scientist persona. You’ll probably get in to at least one HYPSM schools</p>

<p>Thanks everyone!</p>

<p>Just out of curiousity…
Lets just say if I could have one more year to change/add to this
What could I do to increase my chances ?</p>

<p>Given that they are reaches for everyone.</p>

<p>Wow, your ECs are amazing, especially the science research stuff. ISEF and Siemens will really help you get into those top schools. The only part you can possibly improve on is the SATII, I think, and maybe a good essay later on.</p>
