<p>Hi, I'm applying to a lot of reach schools and I was wondering if I even have a chance of getting in or should I just save myself the couple hundred dollars.</p>

<p>I have some really good letters of rec. but I don't think I have much of a shot at the accelerated programs.

<p>you are perfect match everywhere but the ivies are unpredictable have a safety chance me back <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1041167-chance-me-i-will-chance-you-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1041167-chance-me-i-will-chance-you-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Your stats look like a good match for WUSTL. However, if by Med, you mean the University Scholars Program (Dual admission to undergrad and the Medical School), then you are a reach (as is everyone else that applies to this highly competitive program).</p>

<p>A lot of these people are being overly generous in their comments. Most Ivy’s now are even tougher than you would expect. Your achievements and extracurriculars are great, but nothing noteworthy to set you above the rest of the the applicants. The only schools on your list that could be considered a guarantee are UCSD and USC. I dont mean to be a harbinger, but I say save your money unless you are well off</p>

<p>UCLA: in
UC Berkeley: in
UCSD: in
UC Santa Barbara: in
USC: in</p>

<p>Yale: reach
Columbia: reach
Brown: high match/low reach
Northwestern: high match/low reach
Washington in St. Louis: high match/low reach</p>

<p>You look awesome for all the UCs</p>

<p>I would say Yale and Columbia are reaches but only because they are pretty unpredictable. </p>

<p>Agree that you look great for all the UCs and USC.</p>

<p>The ivies are very tough for kids from CA without a hook. You have a shot but it will be tough without a stand out EC.</p>
