<p>I am applying to University of California Berkeley, LA, SD, and Irvine. Johns Hopkins, University of Pennsylvania, Cornell, University of Chicago, and Washington University in St. Louis.</p>

<p>Are you a Cal resident?
If not:</p>

<p>UCB- low-reach
UCLA- low reach
UCSD- match
UCI- safety
JHU- high-match
Upenn-reach
Cornell-reach
U of C- low-reach
WashU-low-reach</p>

<p>What are your 9th grade grades, what state are you in, and what do you want to major in?</p>

<p>Yes I am a Cal resident and I had a 4.0 in freshman year.
What do you mean my “reach”, is that like between low reach and high reach?
Also Isn’t Johns Hopkins like the same lvl as Chicago and Washington?</p>

<p>Also I was qualified for ELC (top 4% of my school) if that matters.</p>

<p>johns hopkins is SLIGHTLY easier to get into looking at some statistics but its also quite difficult. A reach is more difficult than a low-reach. High reach would be like you almost have 0% chance.</p>

<p>If you’re ELC and have strong essays…</p>

<p>UCB- match
UCLA- match
UCSD- safety
UCI- safety
Johns Hopkins-low reach
Upenn-reach
Cornell-low reach
University of Chicago-low reach
WUSTL-low reach</p>

<p>Good luck. You should be fine.</p>

<p>Given that you are ELC and in-state for the UCs:</p>

<p>UCB-Match
UCLA- Match
UCSD- Safe Match
UCI- Safe Match
JHU- Match
Upenn-Slight Reach to Reach
Cornell-Match
U of C- Slight Reach
WashU-Slight Reach</p>

<p>Your odds are slightly better at JHU than at Cornell in my view. Chicago will depend upon the answers to their odd questions–and Washington will probably waitlist you and then possibly offer you admission in April. Penn is the only school on here that I don’t expect you to be admitted to.</p>

<p>Best of success to you.</p>

<p>I agree totally with Calcruzer. That’s not because I’m lazy - it’s because you don’t want to reread things any more than I want to retype them. Your strong GPA/transcript and good test scores (you taking the ACT or another SAT? either way, your SAT II scores are very strong) will certainly set you apart. However, your ECs show a lack of demonstrable passion/focus/commitment - or else the higher-league colleges might be easier to get into. Just a thought.</p>

<p>Thanks for chancing me!</p>

<p>Hey jinlee any reason why you put JHU as a match but UCLA as a reach??? I’m a little surprised there.</p>

11

<p>I’d say a pretty good match for all the UC’s. You could use one or two more EC’s unless track took up everything in which case, you’re okay. The ivies would be a kind of reach, just hope you right a good essay.</p>

<p>UCB- high match
UCLA- high match
