Chance Me for Universities around the Nation

<p>Stanford is a reach for everyone, and your test score - as it stands right now - probably disqualifies you. UNC admissions are brutal for out-of-state applicants, and so it has to be considered a “reach.” Your GPA is probably adequate for Berkeley and UCLA, although your ACT is a little low. You should calculate your UC GPA - they have a discrete formula,and any Common Data for their admissions will use that. Vanderbilt famously places a lot of weight on ACT/SAT scores, and yours are not competitive. If they go up significantly in the fall, you might have a shot. Otherwise, consider applying to Tulane instead. Are you looking at pre-med programs, or a STEM-intensive undergraduate college? I’d say that NYU and BU are probably matches (especially if you bring your scores up a little bit), unless you are applying to their more competitive Engineering or six-year BS/MD programs. In that case, they are probably low-to-middle reaches. I’m pretty sure that UK is a safe choice for you. You might want to explore some test-optional colleges, also, if your scores don’t rise substantially. Your credentials are impressive, apart from the ACT score. </p>
