<p>Obviously you don't know much about me... but overall, with my few stats, do you think I have too many reaches??</p>

<p>GPA 3.65 UW/ 3.98W</p>

<p>SATs 1420 (2120), 680V, 740M, 700W... M2 760 USH 710 Bio620<--frosh year</p>

<p>Pretty boring EC's...except for a month long service trip, and a foriegn homestay... no leadership, cross country & track runner, science club, french honor society, national merit commended student, amnesty international,a job most summers</p>

<p>Good essay, one excellent rec, one okay</p>

<p>white/female/MA/wicked hard private school</p>

<p>SCHOOLS--> Umass Amherst (safety),
Mcgill (slight reach?)
Brown (huge reach),
Welseyan (reach),
UC Berkeley (reach),
UC San Diego (slight reach?),
UC Santa Cruz (safety/match?)</p>

<p>are these correct (match/reach/safety ect?)</p>

<p>other colleges to look at (judging by my list), i like french, warm weather, artsy/creative/intellectual colleges... & strong academics</p>

<p>I don't know much about the UCs, but you have Brown/Wes right.</p>

<p>Based on your list, you migh alsot want to cheack out (these are mainly LACs because that's what I know the most about...sorry if you aren't so interested in those):</p>

<p>Warm Weather colleges with strong academics and some artsy/intellectual bent:
Occidental College (LAC in LA...would be more match-ish, maybe even low match for you)
The Clarmont colleges (LACS outside of LA. Pomona and CM would be reaches, but if you like the consortium, you'd probably get into Pitzer, and you could still take classes at the other colleges)</p>

<p>Artsy/creative/intellectual colleges, but not so warm, of varying degrees of difficulty to get into, as well as varying degrees of traditional to non-traditional teaching methods:</p>

<p>Swarthmore
Haverford
UChicago
Vassar
Oberlin
Reed
Sarah Larance
Bard
Hampshire</p>

<p>Those are just off the top of my head...</p>
