<p>Could I please get chances to..
UCLA:
UCB (Berkeley):
UCI:
UCSB:
UCSD:
Boston University:
NYU - Stern
Northeastern:
USC (My #1 choice):
- both my parents went here
- getting an interview
- chances now? </p>

<p>Oh yeah, I’m flying over to USC for an interview from here (China). I hope to do well, assuming it’s a great interview and I make a good impression. Could you factor that into the chances? Thanks guys. </p>

<p>Thanks everyone for chancing me. I really appreciate it :)</p>

<p>Your GPA will hurt you very much, but your SATs are solid. Assuming the other components of the application are perfectly in line, it’s a medium/high reach.</p>

<p>Berkeley/UCLA: reach
UCSD: reach
UCI/UCSB: slight reach - match</p>

<p>Your GPA is your biggest weakness; SAT is okay.</p>

<p>2080 SAT and NMSQT semifinalist? I find that a bit hard to believe…No chance at UCB/UCLA/UCSD. Others are potential acceptances.</p>
