<p>What is your rank? Your GPA is low for top schools, but if your rank is very high it won’t be as big of a deal.</p>

<p>^ He estimated it to be top 20 percent.</p>

<p>Your gpa/rank will hurt you for Chicago, Notre Dame and Tufts.
Your SAT scores are extremely strong , however.
Your EC’s are average except for the captain position, which is good. </p>

<p>Tufts: Reach
UChicago: High Reach
Notre Dame: Reach
Pomona: High Reach
Claremont McKenna:High Reach
UCB: Low Reach
UCLA: Low Reach
UCSD: High Match( assuming you’re applying bio… Bio is IMPACTED)
USC: Low Reach</p>

<p>UChicago: Low Reach
Pomona: Low Reach
UCB: Low Reach
Notre Dame: Low Reach</p>

<p>Tufts: High Match
UCLA: High Match
UCSD: High Match
USC: High Match
Claremont McKenna: High Match</p>

<p>@Loncria: Can you please explain more about what you mean by impacted? Are you saying UCSD is only a high match if I am applying bio? Will I be likely to have a worse chance if I apply undecided?</p>

<p>Also, if I do apply bio, would it be wise to submit my bio SAT score? I realize that it’s low, but unfortunately I do not have time to restudy & retake it as I am focusing on other test scores… </p>

<p>Just off the top of your head, do you have any other good schools in mind not listed that would be better matches for my stats, since you listed almost all of them as reach? i’m thinking I should definitely take most of them off my list since so many of them have been classified as reach but I’m not sure what schools would be closer to my level. I’ve been looking into quite a few but they either seem way too below or way too above. </p>

<p>I’d really appreciate your help, thanks.</p>
