<p>Sucks when no one is willing to chance you >_<</p>

<p>Stanford-reach (as it is for basically everyone)
Duke-High match/low reach
Yale-reach (see Stanford)
Northwestern-high match
UChicago-high match
Johns Hopkins-high match
WashU-high match
UPenn-low reach
USC-match
UCLA-match
Wisconsin-Madison-match</p>

<p>Overall, you have a pretty impressive resume. I think you stand at least a decent or better chance for most of the schools on your list. Even though Yale and Stanford will be reaches, you could still very well get in. Just make sure you write good essays cuz that could potentially give you the edge you need. Good luck!</p>

<p>Mind chancing me back maybe?

<p>Dude!!! the last application was better (where we met)</p>

<p>your application has no spike at all </p>

<p>spike means you need to show dedication to one aspect apart from your standardized scores & GPAs.
your athletics is just above the bar, but again nothing passionate about it</p>

7

<p>activities should have been related to the major…</p>

<p>pushing carts
do you think this is gonna help in any ways</p>

8

<p>spike is great dedication to one activity or moderate dedication to several activities.</p>

<p>Well it was a summer job. I’m not sure where exactly I could have worked as a high schooler that would complement my major.</p>

10

<p>Oktoberfest? Haha, at least that sounds interesting.</p>

<p>E.C.s are a bit scattered. You’re definitely qualified for these schools, problem is, there are TONS of applicants with similar/better credentials to yourself applying for a limited number of sports. Really try and make yourself stand out on your application!! good luck!</p>
