  • I was asked for two Letters of Recommendation at UC Berkeley (Not sure if that means anything)

GTech is being a little mean with applicants this year. From my school alone, we only received one acceptance, and one of our students had a 2400 SAT score, ranked in the 1%, and had excellent extracurriculars.

Your UW GPA is a little low and it’s the only thing I think might be weakening your application; everything else looks decent. I would match you like this:
University of Pennsylvania (ED): Reach
Georgia Tech: Match (as to why you got deferred with your statistics I have no idea)
Berkeley: Match (Lower)
Cornell: Reach
Carnegie Mellon: Match
Lehigh: Match
WashU: A bit of a reach
University of Michigan: Match

I would appreciate if you took a look at mine as well :slight_smile:

Penn: reach
Georgia tech: match agree with the above poster they are being picky but your profile clearly suggests you’d be a good fit for them I think you’ll get in
Berkley: match
Cornell: low reach
Carnegie Mellon: match
WashU: high match
UMICH: low reach OOS is so competitive

Overall congrats on kicking butt throughout your HS career you have a great profile and have done a great job setting yourself up for admittance to some really great schools. Best of luck!
