<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
UCSD- match

JHU- high match
Upenn- low reach
