<p>So what schools should i look into? what would be some of the best possible ones?</p>
<p>What’s your entire SAT score?</p>
<p>currently 1880 =/</p>
<p>I’d say that USC would be a pretty decent reach. NYU would be a good reach as well. Those are low reaches, so yeah.</p>
<p>what are “reaches” and “low reaches”? sorry im new to this board</p>
<p>Its ok. </p>
<p>Safety-Really likely you could get in as your stats are way above the schools’ average.
Match-Your stats are pretty much in the middle and you have decent shot at getting in.
Reach-Your stats are below the schools’ average and you have an unlikely shot at getting in. </p>
<p>Low Reach means that you’re sort of hovering around the middle of Match and Reach.</p>
<p>And actually, NYU places little emphasis on the writing section, so you look like a decent candidate.</p>
<p>Safety – a school where you will most likely be admitted based on your relative stats, ECs, etc.
Match – a school where you have a decent chance pf being admitted based on your relative stats, ECs, etc.
Reach – a school where you have a slim chance of being admitted based on your relative stats, ECs, etc.</p>
<p>High safety = low match
High match = low reach
High reach = practically impossible</p>
<p>thanks for the feedback:)
would i have any chance at a school like UC Berkeley?</p>
<p>^ Check the admission policy. I think they discriminate against out-of-state students (most public schools do).</p>
<p>I doubt you have a shot. Like a ~15-20% chance.</p>
<p>Do you need financial aid? You really have little chance at UCB. State of residence is rated as highly important in their decision and only 5% are from OOS.</p>
