Amazing SAT Improvement - Chance me Now?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>*it's more like an "Awesome" SAT improvement...I'm just really surprised...
My SAT I score went from a 1940 to a 2170, which blew my mind to pieces.
The breakdown is:
CR: 710
Mathematics: 720
Writing: 740</p>

<p>I'm afraid these scores may be errors because I cannot legitimately believe the improvement (it's an 80 point increase in every subject from my last test, which was a 1930, so I feel it's sketchy) BUT assuming these scores are not errors, and given the following data:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.75/4.0 ; 4.04 9-11 scale ; 4.17 UC scale
No subject tests (taking two for Harvey Mudd admissions)</p>

<p>Hefty course load: Taken AP Bio (3 on test), Honors US History, Literature, and Chem (got a 4 on the APUSH exam), and I'm currently taking AP Physics, Language and Comp, and Calculus, as well as a community college PoliSci class.</p>

<p>My ECs are weak, but I was enrolled in a PLTW "engineering academy" inside our school, which I was told would look nice. Regardless, ECs:
-Competed and placed 4th in a regional Design Competition with the PLTW engineering academy...meh
-Marching Band for 3 years (recieved a letter)
-Kung Fu since I was five - currently a belt away from black
-Took and recieved certification from Coursera's Computational Neuroscience course, have been learning/teaching myself programming/bits of CS since I was twelve
-Participated in Leadership camp Sophomore year for my Church</p>

<p>My community service is meh, I helped several friends with their eagle scout projects, played Pit (trumpet) for a school production of Les Miserables, and did a few other miscellaneous things...not too impressive.</p>

<p>The only job I've had I had for literally a day; I worked quality control for my neighbors, who were engineers, the job they were working on was cancelled/disappeared, and with it, the need for me (their son, they said, was plenty of help). </p>

<p>tl;dr: Circumstances changed with the massive (if not sketchy) improvement in my SAT, how does it affect my chances? Thank you!
Rate me for: Cal Poly SLO, UCSB, UCLA, UCB, Stanford, Harvey Mudd? I also applied to Cal Poly Pomona as a safety but I don't think I need to be chanced for that.</p>

<p>Stanford still seems like a major reach, highly unlikely you will get in. I think your on the fence for UCB, it could go both ways since your almost inline with the average stats for SAT and GPA. UCLAs probably a high match other UCs your probably in. No idea about harvey mudd sorry man.
Chance me back?

<p>Shameful bump; I know my chances aren’t perfect, I know the title makes me sound arrogant, I just want to get opinions on how my chances changed after a pretty large score difference…</p>

<p>Self-Bump II: Electric Boogaloo!</p>

<p>Stanford: Reach
Harvey Mudd: Reach
Berkeley: Match/High match
UCLA: Match/High match
UCSB: Low match/Match
Cal Poly SLO: Low match/Match</p>

<p>Bless you. Would you mind explaining why you consider Berkeley a high match instead of a reach? I’m kinda curious…</p>

<p>Shameless self-bump…I am really curious as to way Berkeley wouldn’t be a reach, though I definitely appreciate that :)</p>
