UCSD: Safe Match
UCSB: Safety

4

<p>I know how much I hate it when people bump, but alas</p>

5

<p>ur prob good for emory and tufts
middleburys so small it prob depends on other applicants and whatnot
yales def a reach, but then again, its evreyones reach</p>

6

<p>yale is a large reach even if you are URM...
brown is less of a reach...I'd say you have a better shot at Brown than yale.</p>

7

<p>yeah....i mean, ur urm status might make up for a little bit, but your grades look iffy....urm status will give you that boost if your stats are equally competitive as those of a white/asian kids, cuz there are fewer of those...with better grades</p>

8

<p>it must be done: bump</p>

9

<p>Your academic stats are a little low, but your ECs are pretty good. Average shot at most.</p>

<p>heeeey, sweetraspberry!
how'd you do so well on the Spanish SATs? I studied my butt off from the Barron's book (wich guaranteed me a 730) AND I always get straight A's in the AP class at my school, but I got nervous/freaked during test and got a 650! I am convinced part of it was being nervous (first real standardized test), but part of it was my lack of prep... any advice as to what I can study from to get a 700 this january? really really need it. thanks</p>

11

<p>nice ECs. i say yale'll be a bit harder, but brown, i say jump and reach for it. :)</p>

12

<p>Theatre? Choir? Advanced vocals?</p>

<p>Sounds like you could've taken a tougher courseload, though the APs are good.</p>

13

<p>You have excellent chances everywhere</p>

<p>good luck!</p>

14

<p>low income? first gen?</p>

<p>decent shot anyways</p>

<p>doesnt yale require 3 sat 2's?</p>
