<p>No chance at WUSTL…
BC is a high reach for you…
Decent chances at UNC Chapel Hill… We’ll call it a low to mid reach.
Penn State’s a low reach to high match…
UMD College Park is probably a match since you’re in-state. </p>

<p>My advice: Get your SAT up to a 2100 (shouldn’t be too hard) and take some subject tests as your AP scores tell me you can do well on at least some of them(: Ohh, and write good essays, but that’s a given lol. Best of luck!</p>

<p>Chance me everyone, please?(: My high reaches are just for closure lol.

<p>thanks! yeah that’s pretty much what I was thinking though I thought UNC-Chapel Hill was one of the hardest public schools to get into? oh well haha</p>

<p>It is, but your SAT is decent, and as a southern school, I sort of (probably wrongly) assumed they’d value your CAP position more haha. I stillsaid it could be a mid reach though, so yeah. Good luck though, definitely apply(:</p>

<p>UNC is Harvard-like when it comes to OOS admissions because less than 20% of their student body is OOS and they have to keep it that way. Therefore, it becomes a reach for almost any applicant. I do think you have a very good shot at UMD and PSU. For those schools, your SATs are pretty good, but your gpa is a little low</p>

<p>Before I take any heat for that ^</p>

<p>I’m not saying UNC is as good as Harvard in any sense, but the OOS acceptance rate for UNC is like 12%, so it’s extremely tough.</p>

<p>right thanks guys!</p>

<p>yep AH5050 that’s what I heard but I’m still going to try :)</p>

<p>btw can anyone think of any schools that would match me a bit more? haha I have way too many reaches and not enough realistic schools</p>

<p>Depends on what type of school you want and what your academic interests are</p>
