Chance me for ED UChicago, EA Cornell, UCBerkeley(please)

Congrats on your accomplishments - very impressive.

Agree with your likely.

I think BU / Northeastern depend on ED, etc. I’d expect you in - even with current tests - but would not be surprised if not. NYU another.

Reach - agree with all but I’d bucket Bowdoin and Cornell together. I’ll let someone else answer UC because some folks have tables with UC GPAs that will give you odds.

So I think you’ve done pretty good - and your likelies give you wiggle room for sure. But I would add a definite - because likely is not definite and while I think you’d get into all three likely, they’re not a definite. For example, an ASU or for huge merit, U of A…you can get in eithers Honors…as a worst case, would be nice. Or something similar…just an almost guarantee…is what i’m saying.

So answer a few questions:

  1. Major or major type (social science, humanities, engineering, etc.).

  2. Any cost issues or desires - like you can only spend x $ or you only want to? If you think you might qualify for aid (and even if you don’t), go on Cornell or Bowdoins Net Price Calculator and see what it says - if you’ll get aid or not.

  3. It’s an eclectic mix of schools - huge, midsize, and small LACs. Are you simply seeking “prestige”?

Thanks
