Below are my very fallible guesses as to what your chances for admission might be at these colleges.
Extremely Likely (80+%)
- Georgia State
Likely (60-79%)
- U. of Georgia
Toss-Up (40-59%)
Lower Probability (20-39%)
- Northwestern ED
- Emory ED II
Low Probability (less than 20%)
- Amherst
- UC - Berkeley
I see you’ve shared your family has an income in excess of $150k, but what is the budget? Is your family willing and able to pay $80k or more/year for your college expenses? Some schools’ cost-of-attendance (COA) are now approaching $90k. Additionally, is your family willing and able to pay $72k/year or so for UC - Berkeley? Although it has a well-respected name, it’s still a large bureaucratic university and there are those who feel that if very large of sums of money are going to be spent, they’d prefer to spend them elsewhere.
Would you be happy to attend Georgia State? How you would you feel if it’s your only acceptance? If you would be happy to attend Georgia State, then that’s great. If not, I’d suggest you look for some other schools that are extremely likely to grant you acceptance, be affordable, and that you would be happy to attend. If you need any suggestions of schools, let us know.
