<p>UPenn
UCB</p>

<p>Wow so I guess I am a slight reach from UCLA. Guess I need to add more to my schedule. After touring UCLA, it seems like an excellent school to attend. </p>

<p>My parents still urge me to try for Stanford and UPenn though I’d already figured out that they are a far reach.</p>

<p>Unlikely at Stanford but Penn isn’t unreasonable. An uncle doesn’t make you a legacy though unless he gives millions.</p>
