<p>I’ve grown up in the United States my whole life…but the part of my life that counts…i lived in houston…texas…heres where the funny part comes in though…3 weeks into my freshman year, i moved to Bombay, India.</p>

<p>So…here’s what i have…starting junior year this year…</p>

<p>Background: Lots of international exposure…lived in the u.s…now india…can interact with a wiiide variety of people (trust me haha)</p>

<p>GPA: 3…ish…

<p>UCB/UCLA: Reach (out of state)</p>

3

<p>do you believe in a dress code?</p>

4

<p>no more responses?..</p>

<p>“Sooo…average-ish gpa…pretty high SAT’s”</p>

<p>3.0 GPA (i’m assuming unweighted) - this will hurt a lot.
1800-1900 SAT - that is NOT ‘pretty high’ - perhaps considered average?</p>

<p>those stats are definitely NOT typical of UPenn, Duke, Northwestern, Rice, and UChicago</p>

<p>you definitely need straight A’s from now on and raise that SAT as much as you can, anyone will tell you that.</p>

<p>your college list is perhaps 75% reaches, in my opinion. you need more safeties/matches.</p>

<p>Rice - big reach
Northwestern - big reach
Duke - huge reach
University of Texas - ?
USC - reach
University of Chicago - ?
UCal - big reach
UPenn - huge reach
University of Miami - ?</p>

<p>big reach = 1 % chance
huge reach = 0.1 % chance</p>

7

<p>U Miami - lesser reach.</p>

<p>Pardon my ignorance, but don’t you have to specify a location for UT? Or is there one that’s just UT?</p>

<p>^^no you’re right…there are i think 2 or 3…but i want to go to the main one…</p>

<p>University of Texas (Austin)</p>
