<p>Also any suggestions for colleges would be greatly appreciated, thanks ahead of time, first two I'll chance back!</p>

<p>Rice - low reach

Princeton - high reach
UC Berkley - mid reach
Cornell - mid reach</p>

<p>That being said, try to find some safety schools.</p>

<p>I would say you are in at Rice, NYU, and Cornell. Princeton will be tough, as it is for everyone and Berkley is weird with oos but your stats are up to par for them for sure. Good luck. chance back <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1171011-ap-scores-need-chances-duke-emory-georgetown.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1171011-ap-scores-need-chances-duke-emory-georgetown.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
