<p>UMich: match
Georgetown: reach
NYU: match</p>

<p>Your SAT is good. What is your uwGPA? UMich should be a match for you. It may be expensive for you though. Not only the oos tuition is expensive, you have so many AP credits that it will may you to pay junior/senior tuition in your sophomore year.</p>

4

<p>(oops! meant three 5s junior year at the end of that first post)</p>

<p>I don’t have access to my grades freshman and sophomore year, but based on what I remember, my uwGPA should be about 3.95.</p>

<p>Do I have a shot at any potential aid/scholarships? If I can’t get any form of aid from these (relatively expensive) universities I’ll probably just end up going to UT anyways. I think income is around 50k+</p>

5

<p>You should be a match to low match for LSA at UMich. UMich has limited aid. You should be eligible for some need based aids but it would still be very expensive when compare to your in state UT tuition. Your score is probably not high enough for significant merit aid at UMich.</p>

6

<p>Are UCLA/Berkeley/USC a stretch?</p>

<p>I’m just trying to gauge where my expectations should be and temper any unrealistic ones…</p>

7

<p>for UCLA/UCB I think your SAT score’s on task.
Perhaps your W.GPA is a bit low…
But I think they’d be a low reach. </p>

<p>chance back :smiley: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1526303-chance-me-cornell-ed.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1526303-chance-me-cornell-ed.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>For decent chance, 2100+ for UCLA, 2200+ for UCB. You are fine for both. uwGPA at 3.95 is fine too.</p>
