<p>I’m fairly certain you’ll be accepted to Maryland and Fordham. Boston, Notre Dame and Villanova seem to be in the mid-high match level. You also have a pretty good shot at Texas. You have a decent shot at UCLA, but I believe that they’re pretty selective out of state, so I’m not entirely sure. Penn, Rice, and Northwestern are all very selective schools. Your SAT is in their range, but your GPA is somewhat low. I’d say they’re all mid reaches. Princeton is a high reach, but it is for pretty much anyway.

<p>Wow, very impressive. I think you have a really good chance at most of these schools</p>

<p>Why didn’t you apply to Brown?
Otherwise you have chnaces everywhere but Princeton and Upenn will be a lot harder.</p>
