<p>Wharton: high reach</p>

<p>I would focus more on Georgetown and UMich Ross.</p>

3

<p>Yeah I figured Wharton would be a super high reach haha.
Is georgetown more of a match or reach for me?</p>

4

<p>Anyone else please?</p>

5

<p>Penn, Darthmouth, Columbia : high reach</p>

<p>Most of the others should be a reach. Georgetown I hear isnt that hard to get into, so that might be a low reach/ high match. Try to get your Sat score up to a 2300+ since you’re Asian.
:P</p>

<p>Chance me back! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1530629-chances-getting-into-upenn-ed-2018-a-2.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1530629-chances-getting-into-upenn-ed-2018-a-2.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

6

<p>Yeah, I’m still hesitating over whether I should retake the SAT, because I don’t know if I can guarantee 2300+, especially not a 800 in CR since I barely knew vocab.</p>

7

<p>I feel like you definitely have a chance at all the UC’s you mentioned. I’m not too informed about the others</p>

8

<p>Thanks! I prefer east coast liberals much more than UCs, but as a Californian, applying to UCs is basically expected.</p>

9

<p>i think you have a good shot for U mich and NYU, IVies would be reach but with good chances. ( idk about UC tho) Good luck! you’ll definitely get into many of them.</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>haha I am looking at the same schools. Wharton, Columbia, Dartmouth are high reaches. I’d say you are a low reach at Georgetown and you are a match everywhere else. NYU(unless stern), UCSB, USC, BU, BC, and etc are safeties for you.

<p>Same comments as everyone else if u want to get into Wharton u should def take the sat’s again</p>

12

<p>Your GPA and SAT IIs are really great; you COULD retake the SAT if you are willing to put the effort during college app seasons, but if not, it wouldn’t bring your application down. I’m a little confused since you mentioned not being sure if you could get a 800 in CR because you don’t know the vocab…but you did? Perhaps it was a typo, but boosting your W section from a 670 should be easier than for CR. You could even try your luck at the ACT.</p>

<p>Your ECs and leadership is good, and I feel like your overall application will put you right on many schools on your list. However, the admitted people to Wharton are on an entirely different level. I don’t see any ECs directly related to business that would give it a boost for Wharton. </p>

<p>Also, as Asians it’s kind of an anti-hook (we’re in the same place). I couldn’t comment on USC, Connecticut or Brandeis since my knowledge of these schools are insufficient.</p>

<p>-Penn (Wharton) ED - Reach
-Dartmouth - Reach
-Columbia - Reach
-UC Berkeley - Match
-UCLA - Match
-UC Santa Barbara - Low Match
-NYU - Match
-U Mich - Ann Arbor - High Match
-Williams College & other reach east coast liberals (Amherst, Tufts, Haverford, etc) - Reach
-Boston College - Match
-Boston U - Low Match
-Georgetown - High Match/Low Reach</p>

13

<p>I’d focus on the Ucs because they’re more realistic and you’ll have a better chance getting into Berkeley with a top 10 business school. Umich you’d also have a great chance so focus on that. Georgetown has a great business program. So to conclude I’d focus on the three as high matches/low reaches and I’d still ed to Wharton because it’s a crapshoot anyways doesn’t matter if you’re over or under qualified. </p>

14

<p>you sat are far above okay and I don’t think you need to worry about them that much, especially since you CR+M is above 1500. Also You in no way need a 2300 or above to get into Wharton. a 2210 makes you competitive and a few extra points on the Sat are not going to make or break you entire app.</p>
