<p>Hi I am new a junior who is new to college confidential and wanted to get an idea of where I stand for the following schools: Tepper (Carnegie), Stern (NYU), Berkeley (UC), UMICH (Comp. Sci/Engineering). I know some of those schools I listed are reaches and I am trying to see what I can do to maybe achieve my goals.

SAT II: 800 Math II, 780 History, 800 Chemistry, 780 Physics
AP: Macroeconomics (5) Micro (5) Chemistry (5) Euro (5) US History (4) Calculus BC (5) Physics B (3 :/)

Weaknesses: My GPA is really weak where I come from. The other top students easily get GPAs of about 4.2 though my naviance tells me that the avverage acceptance GPA for Penn is 4.12 and CMU is the same
My teacher recs I think will be really great and I really am going to put in time on my essay and I think it will turn out great! No Hooks whatsoever.
Thank You So Much in advance any response, criticism, evaluation is greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>I am assuming that all of them are low-matches!!!</p>
<p>anything on carnegie, umich, or berkeley?</p>
<p>Just wondering, do you go to a school in NJ? My friend from a town near my school (WWP) was telling me about some financial course requirement in his school</p>
<p>@swaggermc no California lol</p>
<p>bump on carnegie berkeley umich</p>
<p>lol I think ik who you are, and half of those stats/ecs are bs</p>
<p>@beemerboy do I know you</p>
<p>Tepper (CMU): Match
Berkeley: Match
Ross (I’m assuming/U Mich): Match</p>
<p>Berkeley/CMU/UMich are all matches.</p>
<p>Stern may be a reach because it’s a crapshoot for everyone.</p>
