They’re not a reach for this applicant, unless you have data over anecdotes regarding those universities. The HS Naviance (if they have it) is probably the best and my guess is that a 36/4.0 is going to have more accepts than rejects.

The data is contained in the UMich Deferred EA thread for the Class of 2023. I’ve got the info loaded into a spreadsheet. For an OOS student, even perfect stat students were rejected. UMich has been accused of yield protection.

Certainly, calling admission to these schools, “likely,” even with perfect stats, is incorrect IMO.

I’ll call it a reach. Of course, you’re more than welcome to disagree with me, but I watched the UC and UMich forums here very closely. As the mods say, I made my point, I defended it and I’m moving on.
