Can you please tell me what you think?

Applying to College

<p>I'm from California, not an URM, and I go to a pretty competitive school. I was just wondering if you guys could please help me by telling me what you think my chances are for some schools. Thanks in advance for those who post.</p>

<p>Unweighted GPA: 3.90
Weighted GPA: 4.458
UC GPA: 4.24</p>

<p>SAT: 2170 (M: 730,CR:670,W:770)
SAT II's: US History 730
Math Level 2: 720</p>

<p>I've taken the hardest classes I can take in high school so far. I'm in the top 4% of my class, which makes me eligible for ELC for UC schools. I've held jobs for 2 summers and have 350 hours of volunteer work. I'm captain of the school varsity soccer team and have played varsity soccer for 3 years, along with JV track and cross country for 2 years. I'm also on the school Science Olympiad Team and won a regional medal in my event. Also, I'm an officer of a club that helps freshman deal with their problems at my school.</p>

<p>I'd really like to know what you guys think my chances are at some schools:</p>

<p>UCLA
UC Berkeley
UCSD
UC Irvine
University of Pennsylvania (ED)
Northwestern
University of Chicago (EA)
Princeton (ED)
Georgetown
Cornell University</p>

<p>I haven't decided where to apply Early Decision, at UPenn or Princeton, but I'd really like to know what you guys think about all of these schools, especially UCLA and Berkeley. Thanks again for helping me out.</p>

<p>You should be fine at all the UC;s</p>

<p>The rest of your list are reaches because they are reaches for everyone.</p>

<p>UC Berkeley - Low Match/Slight Reach
UCLA - Low Match/Slight Reach
UCSD - Match
UCI - Safety
UPenn - Reach</p>

<p>Get Better SAT I is Better & Improve Math IIC and Chances will go up</p>

<p>I think therefore I am.</p>

<p>Basically you are my competition. You seem fine, lots of reach/matches, but you'll apply to enough schools to get one or two to fall in your lap. Good Day.</p>
