JHU: High match
Dartmouth: Reach
Cornell: Reach
CMU: Reach
UPenn: Reach
RPI: Low match
U Rochester: Match
Colgate: Match
NYU: Match
UVA: Match

<p>Hey! I’m Armenian too (from east coast though haha)
I think you should try cutting out some of these schools mainly because it would be crazy to apply to so many. Like nobody wants to write this many supplements or pay that much for application fees. Try narrowing your list down to 10-12 schools TOTAL. </p>
<p>Vanderbilt- low reach
John Hopkins - reach
Dartmouth - reach
Cornell - low-ish reach
Carnegie Mellon - high match
U Penn - reach</p>
<p>Rensselaer- match
Rochester - match
Colgate (dont know much about it sorry)
NYU-match
Univ of Virginia- low match
UCLA-high reach
USC - assuming this is southern california not south carolina, a high match
UCSD - mid match
UC Berkley - high reach
Case Western (never heard of it sorry)
Oberlin- match
Brandeis - low match </p>
<p>Well these are your safetys so you should be fine with these…
UCI
UCR
UC Davis</p>
<p>Actually, I don’t think any of these schools are a big reach for you. If you applied to all of them I’m guessing you would get rejected by no more than two or three (figuring out which two or three is the tricky part).</p>
UPDATE: I got into Vanderbilt ED1. I’m very happy and excited for next year. I just wanted to update my post not for bragging but more for the future applicants so they can gauge themselves a little better. I learned from this entire process that there is no formula to college acceptance. A good portion of it is luck. Good luck to all of the future applicants.
