<p>Take everything that people on CC say with a spoonful of salt. People here are such high-achievers. Don't get too stressed out by CC-ers.</p>

<p>USC and NYU would be matches. Georgetown, Brown, JHU, Tufts and U of Chicago would definitley not be matches. you would need a higher weighted GPA for them to be matches, regardless of the fact that your SATs are up there. my friend had a higher GPA and SATs than you, as well as more activities, and didn't get into some of the schools you mentioned above. anyway, good luck! :)</p>
<p>oh i know theyre reaches...thats why i wanted to try to find matches :p</p>
<p>university or richmond</p>
<p>*of
and ucsb, ucsd, villanova, wake forest? slight reach maybe, but definitely try for there</p>
<p>princetonreview.com has a special program thing to match you to schools that suit your criteria. </p>
<p>it's pretty helpful for at least giving you ideas.</p>
<p>wow thats pretty nice. this is what i got:</p>
<p>Top matches:
Geogetown 66% fit
Gettysburg 59% fit
Bucknell 51% fit
Carnegie Mellon 51 % fit</p>
<p>reaches:
WUSTL 66%
Harvard 59%
Brown 51%
Stanfard 51%
Columbia 44%</p>
<p>and American came up as my top safety</p>
<p>sounds like im at least on the right track as to what i want. yay</p>

<p>The chance calculation sucks at this site (It told me I had a better chance at Stanford than USC, for cryin' out loud), but it's really useful because it has semi-recent information on averages at schools across the nation. It's like a huge compilation of common data sets.</p>
