<p>Stanford is a reach for even the most qualified students, but you definitely have a good shot! I would say you are in for the other two. Good work.</p>

3

<p>Please tell me you didn’t include Track & Field 6th grade to Freshman year as an EC on your application…</p>

<p>Your stats are decent but Stanford is a reach, Berkeley a match/low reach and UIllinois a match.</p>

4

<p>I think you have a good chance at all the schools, although I don’t know why Track and Field should be included from 6th grade through 8th grade, as jersey said above me.</p>

5

<p>Thanks guys</p>

6

<p>I think you have a great shot Stanford, I’d say high match… However, Berkeley is a high match/low reach, ONLY because you’re OOS. Good luck!</p>

<p>University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign - match</p>
