<p>Hey Anna, how’s it going.
Your test scores seem high enough to get into some of the colleges you listed but I feel like your course loads are too weak. It might be just me b/c I have an EXTREMELY (excessively, really) competitive class. Other than that, you seem pretty good.</p>

<p>UC Berkeley-Match
Columbia College-Reach
Wash U-wash u in st. louis? reach
Brown-Reach
U of Michigan-safety
Tufts-uhhh match?
NYU-safety</p>

<p>Chance me!

<p>Thanks for the response! Any other opinions?</p>

<p>Unless you pushed yourself for the courseload, it seems little weak (like what fbplaya said)</p>

<p>I currently have only 4 AP classes cumulative, but that’s because I couldn’t fit any more into my schedule, or the class was already full. </p>

<p>Other than that, it looks fairly good.</p>

<p>UC Berkeley-Match
Columbia College- Reach/High Reach (Columbia is unpredictable. Unless you have an OUTSTANDING EC as well as grades, it’s most likely reach/high reach)
Wash U- High Match
Brown- Reach/Low Reach
U of Michigan- Low Match/Safety
Tufts- Match
NYU- Safety</p>

<p>P.S. I didn’t take the essay and rec into account. Anyone can say that their essay is great, and most people assume that they will get a great recommendation. Not saying that you won’t have one (you probably have an amazing one), but some people guess wrong and then never realizes that their teacher wrote a decent rec (probably my case).</p>

<p>Columbia is going to be a fairly high reach, no matter what your test scores/ stats/ ECs are. However, I think you will be in at nearly all of your other schools.</p>

<p>Thanks for the input, we’ll see what happens!</p>

<p>I would chance you guys back buuuut I’m not really well versed in college acceptance rates…</p>
