<p>Thats a big list of colleges. Your SAT score might hold you back from the more selective colleges, like Dartmouth and Georgetown. ECs are good, and write good essays. Not much else you can do right now.</p>
<p>boston college - low reach/high match
brandeis - match
cornell - reach
claremont mckenna - dont know about this
dartmouth - reach
duke - reach
emory - low reach/high match
george washington - match
georgetown - reach
tufts - low reach
ucla - match
uc berkeley - match
ucsd - match
vanderbilt - low reach
washington u (st. louis) - low reach
Good luck, you have a shot.</p>
<p>SAT II and SAT looks good for Middle Tier-1 Colleges as your Reaches or High Matches, and i think you’ve chosen a pretty good list. GPA and Classes/ APs confirms my opinion. Gosh, your ECs look pretty involved and is overall a decent list.</p>
<p>So here are my opinions:
Boston college - Low Reach
Brandeis - Good Match
Cornell - Reach
Dartmouth - Reach
Duke - Reach
Emory - High Match
George washington - Match
Georgetown - Low Reach/ Reach
Tufts - High Match
Ucla - Match/ High Match
Uc berkeley - ~ Match
Vanderbilt - Low Reach</p>
<p>Best of luck because ORM doesn’t help us usually.</p>
<p>Wow, that’s a lot of schools. Completely dwarfs my list but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Anyways,</p>
<p>BC- Low reach
Brandeis- Match
Cornell- Reach
Claremont- Low reach
Dartmouth- High reach
Duke- Reach
Emory- Low match
GW- Match

UCB- High match
UCSD- In
Vandy- Low reach
WashU StL- Reach</p>

<p>Well you’re pretty much set for the UCs it seems like.</p>
<p>I would retake the SAT. If you could get another 100 points your chances would go up alot. Based on what you have given us, here’s what I think:</p>
<p>boston college – good chance
brandeis – decent chance
cornell – fair chance
claremont mckenna – fair chance
dartmouth – some chance
duke – fair chance
emory – decent chance
george washington – decent chance
georgetown – decent chance
tufts – fair chance
ucla – good chance
uc berkeley – fair chance
ucsd – excellent chance
vanderbilt – fair chance
washington u (st. louis) – fair chance</p>
<p>I see a guaranteed admit at Brandies, however, the other schools will be very competitive for you. Since you’re a California resident, you might have a solid shot at UCSD, and a slight possibility at both Cal and UCLA. Again, you have a equally good chance at George Washington, the other schools will be all luck. You have decent scores and a solid GPA, have you given thought to Whittier, Occidental, and Smith College in Boston, I think that would be an outstanding fit for you.</p>

<p>coming from my point of view. i have gotten three ivy schools sending me letters wishing that i would apply to their universities. they are Vanderbilt, Washington U. in st. louis, and duke university but i have no clue why because i do not have stellar grades im above average but not that stellar. but go for them because you have great stats. Universities look for passion in students so the essay will be a big part of your composition score in your decision. peace</p>
<p>except Wash U, UCB, UCLA, Georgetown, Dartmouth and Duke, you should get into other ones.
I say you have a good shot (>50%) at UCLA or UCB - it is hard to get into both unless you are exceptional- Georgetown, Emory seem more realistic for you.</p>
