<p>I am looking for match schools. </p>

<p>Can northwestern, WashU, Notre Dame, Georgetown, Vandi, CMU,Boston College, Case Western Reserve be my match schools?</p>

<p>I need help… I have a lot of reach schools so I do not need more reaches but I need safeties and matches…!</p>

<p>Georgetown, CMU and Vanderbilt are reaches, you are an ORM applying to extremely competitive schools. Sorry I cannot speak to the others.</p>

<p>NW is a low reach school.</p>

<p>Vandy is a good choice. They want more Asian students. But, they are very number oriented. So, it is a slight reach school.</p>

<p>Notre Damn is a match schools because they want more Asian students.</p>

<p>CMU: It depends on your major. If you apply for CS major, then recah. Otherwise it could be a match school.</p>

<p>BC: I think you will get in to BC.</p>

<p>GW is a reach school.</p>

<p>Wash U: It is very unpredictable and they are need aware school. If you do not apply for FA, then you could get into WashU. It is a low reach school.</p>

<p>CWR: Don’t know much about the school. But, I think you have great chances at this college.</p>

<p>You might want to consider LACs. What about Middlebury (slight reach) or Haverford (match I think)?</p>

<p>What about Emory University? Tufts or Brandise University?</p>

<p>Those could be your match schools.</p>

<p>Good luck to you!</p>

<p>The only matches I see are Case Western and Boston College</p>

6

<p>Not a full chance, but I just wanted to say that CMU is actively looking for more females, especially in Eng. There was even a post praising one of the first years they had a 50/50 male female split.</p>

7

<p>thank you very much for your advices</p>

8

<p>What will hurt her for CMU though is that she is Asian, they are such an ORM there. I agree that if you apply for certain math oriented majors your chances will increase.</p>

9

<p>I am applying for cognitive sci… is it gonna hurt me then? if CMU is not match for me, there is no point to apply there since i have 3 reaches(columbia brown dartmouth) already…</p>

10

<p>I’m sorry that I can’t speak for the other schools much, but I believe BC is a solid match and Vandy might be a high match.</p>

11

<p>You should be okay with cognitive science, it is still a program dominated by men. It will be a low reach.</p>

12

<p>Might look at Holy Cross-very good school 1 hour from Boston. HC is similar to both Notre Dame and Boston College.</p>

13

<p>“there is no point to apply there since i have 3 reaches(columbia brown dartmouth) already.”</p>

<p>I applied to 18 reach colleges and 1 safety. No match colleges were on my list.</p>

14

<p>thank you for your comments guys.</p>

<p>20more but what if i get rejected by all the reaches and end up to go safety?</p>

15

<p>I just applied carleton. what you gus think my chance at Carleton? And UVA?</p>

16

<p>What state for UVA?</p>

17

<p>I am from Cali, but I don’t think state matters because I am an international student.</p>

<p>UVA is a low reach, in my opinion.</p>

<p>I think most of the ones you named would be matches. the only one i could see being a reach is WASH U but i still think you could get in.</p>
