<p>A thought:</p>

<p>MIT…average
Stanford…average
Tufts…excellent
BU…excellent
USC…very good
UCSD…very good</p>

<p>Might want to look at a few of these as well:</p>

<p>UW-Madison…excellent
URochester…excellent
Lehigh U…excellent
Union C…excellent
Trinity C…excellent
Lafayette C…excellent
Brown U…good
Columbia (Fu)…good</p>

3

<p>UCSD would not be a “very good” chance since he’s from OOS.</p>

4

<p>MIT Stanford Tufts are your reaches, probably in that order. Good luck!</p>

5

<p>Yea. I would say:</p>

<p>MIT: Reach
Stanford: Reach
Tufts: Slight Reach
BU: Safety/Match
USC: Match
UCSD: Not sure, probably safety/match</p>

<p>If you can get yourself recruited for the sailing team of any of those schools, then your chances will rocket up.</p>

6

<p>UCSD isn’t remotely safety for him. It’s more like slight reach/match, since he’s OOS.<br>
MIT/Stanford-Reach
Tufts/UCSD/USC-Slight Reach
BU: Match</p>

<p>MIT: Reach
Stanford: Reach
Tufts: Slight Reach
BU: Safety/Match
USC: Match/safety
UCSD: safety</p>
