Amazing personal statements about move to America in 2004 and the second one about leprosy</p>
<p>Please help me and tell me what other colleges I should apply to and what would be considered reaches and safety schools. Do I have a chance at ivy's?
Thank you</p>
<p>In-state for CA, I assume? What can your family afford? That has a huge impact on your choices. You also need to give us more information about what you are looking for in your college experience. If we were to go by the schools you’ve applied to, I’d assume you want in-state CA, large schools in urban areas, big sports scene, non-denominational. Given your EC and bio major, I’d guess you are potentially pre-med? If that’s not the case, more info would help.</p>
<p>Second, you can go to the Common Data Set (google it) for most schools and determine your own chances by looking at Section C. It tells you how your stats compare to admitted students. The CDS also tells you how the school weights the various factors in your application.</p>
<p>Lastly, applying to ‘Ivies’ may or may not make sense: They are different from each other and are more or less appropriate depending on your interests, abilities, future goals. To simply look at your stats and say ‘that one’ would be foolish.</p>
<p>Thank you for replying! To answer your questions, cost is not really going to be an issue for choosing schools. I’ve only applied to California schools because these were the ones that I was initially interested in but now want to expand my list and apply to a couple out of state schools. Also for schools, I am pretty much interested in all schools that are in urban areas and relatively large. Thank you!</p>
<p>University of Washington (match)
University of Minnesota - Twin Cities (low match)
Ohio State University (safety)
University of Colorado - Boulder (safety)
Tulane (not sure if large enough for you)
Boston University (match)
University of Wisconsin - Madison (match)
Depaul (safety)
George Washington
American University (safety)
Southern Methodist University (no idea)</p>
<p>^I agree with University of Washington for a match. Unfortunately the deadline has passed :(</p>
<p>If money is no object, and you like larger schools in urban areas, and your intended major is bio, then look at: Georgetown, George Washington, Vanderbilt, Boston University, Emory, etc…And look at the common data set - Section C - to determine reach/match/safety. And don’t be put off by Georgetown being Catholic, by the way - it’s not intrusive and many non-Catholics attend.</p>
<p>Just for the record, Emory isn’t urban like the other schools on the list are. It’s extremely close to the more densely populated sections in Atlanta, but not in it like Georgia Tech is.</p>
<p>University of Maryland (safety); Univ of Miami (safety and they are very generous with merit aid)</p>
