President and founder of an anti-genocide chapter of STAND, which is a national student run organization. It is the first one in our whole area, so it'll be very community based.
Already raised $700 for the Genocide Intervention Network in 3 days and will continue to work in the coming months. I'll write my personal statement on this.</p>

<p>Looking at my list I dont know if I have enough reach schools. I really don't know if its worth applying to Stanford, because honestly, it's way too hard to get in. What are some good reach schools I can go for for Chemical Engineering? And Please chance me for</p>

<p>Cornell
UC Berkeley
UCLA
UCSD
USC
UC Davis
UC Irvine
Santa Clara University</p>

<p>why are you even bothering to apply…?</p>

3

<p>why are u laughing?</p>

<p>Don’t get discouraged. Most people on this site make it seem like URMs with 4.0/36/2400s who also lead sports teams and have won national titles in everything and have cured cancer (twice), while raising 18 brother/sisters by working 40 hours a week are barely the standard to get into most schools…</p>

5

<p>screwd? i don’t think thats the right word for your little resume. was it sarcasm</p>

6

<p>I agree with hyesunghyejin…you are hardly “screwd”. I was expecting 1500 SATs and 2.5 GPA.</p>

<p>That being said, I def think you can throw a few more reach schools on there. Perhaps even some of the lower Ivies (brown, maybe?). You won’t be super competitive at the Ivies/highly selective schools, but you will still stand a chance.</p>

<p>Cornell - reach
UC Berkeley - low reach
UCLA - idk
UCSD - idk
USC - high match
UC Davis - idk
UC Irvine - idk
Santa Clara University - idk</p>

<p>I’m sorry, I don’t know the UCs very well.</p>

<p>Return the favor?

<p>But Brown isn’t really an engineering school, is it? What other Ivies/highly selective schools should I apply to, without making it a waste of time?</p>

8

<p>in the mix for cornell, berkeley, sd, and LA. USC, davis, irvine and Santa clara are probably in for you</p>

<p>chance me back at <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/801012-chance-me-i-will-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/801012-chance-me-i-will-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>carnegie mellon would be a good school for you if you are into engineering</p>

10

<p>You’re not screwed. I’d go on ahead and apply to Stanford; it seems like you have a pretty good shot.</p>

11

<p>Well my parents don’t want me to stay in California. But if I get scholarships to some other places I might be able to go. Do you think I can get a decent scholarship from UT Austin to make it equal to UC in state tuition?</p>

12

<p>i got into berkeley, LA, SD, davis, USC, santa clara. basically I am 6/6 and I didn’t apply to cornell or anything else. Now i just have to choose between LA and berkeley…</p>

<p>Very nice job Californium. Congratz dude.</p>
