<p>Class Rank? SAT's? W GPA? Colleges you wanna be chanced for? </p>

<p>Need more info.</p>

<p>In at UCLA and Boston. In at some but not all of the others. Plenty of great science extracurriculars, and leadership should work in your favor. Starting then quiting some of the extracurriculars will not.</p>

<p>Do you need financial aid? If so, chances are dicey at most places.</p>

<p>In at Wake Forest and maybe Duke and Boston. Ivies are always reaches. Since you show a strong focus in math/science, you probably have a good chance at CalTech. Try and get some good SAT II scores for science subjects.</p>

<p>not guaranteed for UCLA unless ur CA resident...... where are you from????</p>

<p>o, and if ur gonna apply to stanford, dont apply early decision. because most people think ur chances to get in through early decision is better MORE AND MORE have been applying for EA...... i say its SO MUCH HARDER to get in EA than it is for regular decision nowadays........</p>

<p>DEF. bring that PSAT score up if you want to be considered for many of the top schools. and all those clubs don't matter if you've only been a member for a year or something. but...achieve all ur goals (ie. USABO) and you'll be fine :D</p>
