<p>HERE'S THE LIST OF OTHER SCHOOLS I WILL APPLY TO SO FEEL FREE TO CHANCE ME ON THESE TOO:</p>

<p>Reaches:

2. Stanford</p>

<p>Matches:
1. UCLA
2. USC
3. UC Berkeley</p>

<p>Safeties:
1. UC San Diego
2. UC Irvine</p>

<p>I think you will get into Cornell and all of your other schools except maybe Stanford. Your hooks are very impressive. African-American students are held to a different standard than others, if you know what I mean, but you’d be a good candidate even if you were of a different race. Watch out for your essay being too cliche, though.</p>

<p>You will be a strong candidate at Cornell and wherever else you apply (including Stanford), and are qualified to succeed at any school that accepts you.</p>

<p>Excellent chances anywhere. Good luck!</p>
