<p>i'm planning on getting recs from my global studies teacher and my ap
chem teacher. i had a really good relationship with my gs teacher and
my chem teacher volunteered to write the rec so i'll take it. im also getting
one from my taekwondo master, who's the headcoach of the collegiate
national team. seems influential.</p>

<p>i'm applying to columbia, cornell, nyu stern, umich, uc berkeley, brown,
georgetown, johns hopkins, uva, and carnegie mellon. whew.</p>

<p>so
what are my chances?</p>

2

<p>berkelely, umich, uva, are good matches. others are slight reaches~reaches</p>

3

<p>bump bump?</p>

<p>Are u from Baltimore? I'm only familiar with UC's, and based on your stats im assuming you want to do engineering/math based courses. For Berkeley engineering/chem is really tough and your out of state so that doesnt help. UC's only count 10 and 11 year grades, your SAT's are good. Just my opinion: if UCB Engineering- Reach/ Slight Reach, Just UCB College of Letters and Science: Match</p>

5

<p>hear me out:</p>

<p>UCB: Reach (out of state)</p>

6

<p>UCB: Slight Reach (Non-Engineering OOS)/Reach (Engineering OOS)</p>

<p>Berkeley is no good match--especially if the poster is out of state. What's your UC GPA?</p>
