<p>What would my chances be at UC Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, USC?
I've heard that the UC schools are more GPA focused whereas privates, such as USC, will like high SAT scores. I had a bit of a rough sophomore year (got a C in AP Calc but got an A in IB Math - which covers the same concepts).</p>

<p>If you could, what about UNC, Emory, NYU, or Georgia Tech?</p>

<p>Thanks for any input.
I'll chance back.</p>

<p>thanks for the input. what about the UC schools or USC? </p>

<p>and are you sure about UNC being a reach?</p>

<p>Well for UNC, maybe a Reach/Low Reach. Almost any UC school will be a Low Reach. USC - Reach/Low Reach. Chance Back?</p>

5

<p>Sure I’ll chance you. Could you explain why any UC school or USC will be a low reach?</p>

<p>Well, I find your Stats to be a bit too qualified for a UC school. I feel that if you have good essays and good recs, and UC schools is withing your grasp. :)</p>

<p>Thanks! I’m sorry if this is a stupid question but what do you mean by reach, high reach, low reach? I’m new to these forums…</p>

<p>I’m thinking of participating in the Intel and Siemens competitions as well</p>

<p>Reach means there is a chance that you will get in to the specified college.</p>

<p>Low Reach means there is almost a guarantee that you will get in.</p>

<p>High Reach means there is almost no chance that you will get in to a specified college.</p>

<p>Oh ok. That’s great! Thank you very much</p>
