Where are you a resident?
What is your budget?
What is your uw GPA?
Most of those look like reaches to me.

7

depends on your UW GPA and your EC’s could be strenghthed

8

Thanks for the replies.
UW GPA is 3.67
I am residing in Bayonne, NJ.
Regarding Budget, Harvard tuition is affordable.

9

Sorry, UW GPA is 3.74

10

Your safeties are not safeties.

Are you a CA resident? If not there is no financial aid for OOS students.

11

Out of the bottom 5 you will most likely get accepted to a couple of them.

12

If this student is not a resident of California, the UC’s won’t happen with that GPA and ACT.

13

If you are a junior, why do you think your apps are coming soon?
Your UW GPA, as an OOS will not get you into Berkeley.
I also think most of your list are reaches.

Where are your safeties?

14

@auntbea what GPA would I need out of a 4.0 and ACT score

15

You will have a pretty good chance at GW and NYU, but UMich is not a safety, especially OOS. Ok chance at UCLA, Dartmouth and Cornell, but UCB and the other Ivies will be tough.

16

@Acortez195, over a 4.0 and almost a perfect ACT, since the instate students tend to have those scores and grades.

MODERATOR’S NOTE:
acortez122 and acortez195 are the same person. The threads have been merged.
