<p>Ok I don’t really see why you’re “sub-par”… Yes, a lot of students on CC have a 4.0 GPA and all 5’s on fifteen AP’s, but you’re still an incredibly applicant, your grades, scores, and ECs far above the majority of students out there. So please, don’t sell yourself short. </p>
<p>UIUC: high match
UMich: low reach
Northwestern: low reach (better chances for ED)
WashU: high reach
Cornell: mid reach
UC Berkeley: high reach
Rice: low reach
Vanderbilt: low reach
Carnegie Mellon: low reach
Duke: low reach </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
