<p>Also, Michigan is one of my top scchols that’ll affect my ED decisions a bit.</p>

<p>WOLVERINES?</p>

<p>Add some targets and safeties, because your GPA could hurt you. Besides that, everything looks fine. Good luck :)</p>

<p>Hah, actually my plan was that Rutgers would be the only school where I have virtually a 100% of getting into given my school’s track record, and every other school that wasn’t a guarantee would be an upgrade over RU.</p>

<p>Just wanted to see what everyone else’s perception of my chances are right now :)</p>

<p>I know this is a reach but UPenn ED might be a very good idea as you did research there, that along with the ED shows big dedication and interest, and it might push you to get accepted. Great test scores, solid,but not great GPA (about the same as me, I’m not trying to criticize you) , maybe look at Boston College, Wake Forest, USC, UNC (I see you have that), George Washington, Loyola (Maryland), NYU as schools more towards the match or safety side. I was told by my GC that if you really want to go to Cornell or Brown (as I was really interested there last year) to apply to the state division (Cornell) or to apply ED (either one). You definitely have a shot at the Ivys though.</p>

<p>Thanks for the words patriotsfan1.</p>

<p>Add Berkeley to the ED list. OOS.</p>
