<p>Hahaa I know its a lot but hey, I’m only applying once (until med school lol!). Some are obviously reaches, some matches, some safeties. I won’t really know my actual chances until I take the SAT/ACT though…</p>

<p>Holy cow! That’s a lot of schools :P</p>

<p>O_O That’s so long!!</p>

<p>Lol I know, I know! I’m not 100% sure AT ALL that I’ll be applying to alll of these, but I’ve narrowed it down to these :)</p>

<p>Hi Everyone! I wanted to show a list of schools I’m interested in and see if anyone else was interested in the same ones.</p>

<p>University of Delaware (Safety)
University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill (Match)
Duke University (Reach)</p>

<p>Other schools I’m looking at:
University of Chicago
Stanford University
University of California - LA
University of California - Berkeley
Johns Hopkins University
University of Pennsylvania
Syracuse University </p>

<p>My extracurriculars, volunteer work, and grades are good, but my PSAT scores are low which is a little discouraging. I want to take the ACT. I’ve never been good at Standardized Tests, I get major test anxiety. Anybody know of a way to over this?</p>

<p>@Buttafly13 Narrowed it down?! As in it was longer?!</p>

<p>That’s so long…I’ve kinda given up on going to a UC straight from high school b/c this junior semester I missed up bad…I got a 1.6!! And now idk what my total gpa is b/c it was 3.2 before junior yr…I’ll just go to a CC then transfer…its cheaper too</p>

<p>@Steph- it takes practice :p</p>

<p>I take SATs on Saturday…I’m freaking out!!</p>

<p>African American Junior with a 4.3 GPA (3.5 unweighted i know I have to get this up) haven’t taken ACT yet. #1-#2 high school in state of Illinois, extremely competitive. My dream school is Rice University. But I am also considering </p>

<p>UCLA
USC
Stanford
UIUC
Northwestern
Washington University
Duke
UMiami
Emory
Tulane
Carnegie Mellon
UC Berkeley (but not really) </p>

<p>I am also treasurer of my schools class council
150+ hours of volunteering
200+ hours at my job
supervisor at my local hospital</p>

<p>What do you guys think of my chances. I’m looking to go into electrical/electronics engineering or entrepreneurship business (probably minor).</p>

<p>@Zombie-Lol yes it was! Don’t judge me :wink:
@ForeIn-since the UC’s only count sophomore & junior year you probably still have a chance, especially at the lower tiered ones like Riverside or Merced.
@MrAPMsn-I’m definitely jealous of your weighted GPA. Based on your grades I say you have a good chance at the majority of the schools buut your ACT is an important factor & I hear engineering is a competitive major…very good chances though I think</p>

<p>^^ya but I live in norcal and I don’t think my mom would let me move</p>

<p>@Buttafly13 I take the ACT for the first time in February. Hoping for a 30+. If not, i go but to studying. And as far as my GPA the semester just ended and my weight GPA for the semester was a 5.0. So that 4.3 is going to be slightly higher. Just to make you more jealous ;). Just keep working hard and you will definitely get the GPA you desire.</p>

<p>I definitely think you can manage that 30+! I’m hoping for at leasst a 2100 on the SAT (i’m taking in March) to compensate on my not so spectacular GPA. Ughh you are making me sick lol :smiley: Yea I’m trying not to sucuumb (spell check?) to junioritis but I think I’m going under…</p>

<p>Took SATs for the first time today!!</p>

<p>^How do you think you did?</p>

<p>Anywhere between 1950 and 2100.
I think I did pretty well.
Gonna take them again in April, though.I Want a 2200. </p>
