<p>Obviously you don't know much about me... but overall, with my few stats, do you think I have too many reaches??</p>

<p>GPA 3.65 UW/ 3.98W</p>

<p>SATs 1420 (2120), 680V, 740M, 700W... M2 760 USH 710 Bio620<--frosh year</p>

<p>Pretty boring EC's...except for a month long service trip, and a foriegn homestay... no leadership, cross country & track runner, science club, french honor society, national merit commended student, amnesty international,a job most summers</p>

<p>Good essay, one excellent rec, one okay</p>

<p>white/female/MA/wicked hard private school</p>

<p>SCHOOLS--> Umass Amherst (safety),
Mcgill (slight reach?)
Brown (huge reach),
Welseyan (reach),
UC Berkeley (reach),
UC San Diego (slight reach?),
UC Santa Cruz (safety/match?)</p>

<p>are these correct (match/reach/safety ect?)</p>

<p>other colleges to look at (judging by my list), i like french, warm weather, artsy/creative/intellectual colleges... & strong academics</p>

<p>Reed maybe? is that a safety?</p>

2

<p>is it bad to have mostly reaches?</p>

3

<p>As long as you have two safeties that you truly like and would be truly happy attending, you're fine.</p>

4

<p>With your GPA and SATs, Reed is a match, but your ECs are not strong; the other schools look about right.</p>

5

<p>McGill is not a place for someone who likes warm weather. Boston U, Bates, and Oberlin are good places if you're artsy/creative--though none have balmy weather.</p>
