Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>First of all, I'm an international student from Kazakhstan. My school is considered the best in Kazakhstan, but since I go to a small, private school we don't have a lot of variety of EC's or AP classes. Please tell me if these schools are reaches, matches, or safeties. Also you can recommend me good schools that are matches for me too! Thanks!</p>

<p>Emory, University of Virginia, University of Michigan--Ann Arbor, Northeastern, SUNY Binghamton, University of Southern California, Boston University, Cornell, Georgetown, McGill</p>

<p>I would personally not see Emory as a match, it is about USC level</p>

<p>Its average SAT score is around a 2080. I think he’d be fine as a applicant from Kazakhstan. I could say it’s a high match just cause.</p>

<p>For McGill, ECs are irrelevant only grades and SAT scores matter. However the admissions selectivity varies greatly between different departments at McGill, so to chance you for that school I need to know what department you are going to apply to.</p>
