<p>Assuming your essays aren’t **** (i doubt they are), you should get into all those UCs no sweat. Privates are a little more unpredictable. Stanford specifically tends to pick kids with a lot of diversity. Many of the people applying there are smart like you and have similar scores and good ecs. I think your ecs may be lacking a little and seem to characterize you as a typical first gen asian. That being said, I think that Stanford may be a reach though you still have a decent shot at getting in. You acceptance may be a little more dependent on your essays.</p>

<p>Thanks haha I don’t expect to get into Stanford. I just applied to see what would happen. I’ll be happy just to get into those UCs</p>

<p>You really shouldn’t worry that much. With a 4.8, 2300, and great EC’s, you’re definitely on your way to the ivy leagues. Like the guy said earlier, write a solid essay and you’re in. And if by any chance you didn’t, don’t expected to get rejected from anywhere except Stanford and Harvard.</p>
