Decent chance for most. Duke and Upenn may be a bit of a reach (Berkeley a tidbit too)
As good a chance as most even for the reach schools. Not a school on the list that is out of bounds.
Thanks @notjoe and @andyis any more tips or ideas to better my application?
Work on your essay and do an EC over summer. All you can really do at this point
@Gumbymom is there anything else you think I should work on/ my chances? and thanks for the pointers @andyis
