<p>shameless bump</p>

<p>I’m not all that familiar with those schools but to me, you seem like a competitive candidate. Quit worrying so much! Also, your essay topic sounds really good. As long as you write well and truly show who you are, that could be your golden ticket.</p>

5

<p>thanks ya I just have been worrying since Mach trying to bump up my grades. Anybody else wanna throw their opinion? I appreciate it greatly.</p>

6

<p>Well, what is your planned major?</p>

7

<p>either CS or finance. Not really sure… been more focused on just getting in somewhere</p>

8

<p>You are fine do not worry ! study hard for 1st semester get 4.0 , good luck :)))</p>

9

<p>Well your stats look pretty solid. I wouldn’t really worry too much. Your GPA could go up a bit to make your application just a tad bit better, but it’s not a huge deal, because it already is very good! I think you’ll be accepted at many of the UC’s as well as Cal Poly. Not sure about the other schools because I don’t know much about them, sorry!</p>

10

<p>UCLA-Low Reach
UC Berkeley-Reach
BU-Match (SAT should balance out GPA)
Northeastern-High Match
Brandeis-Reach
All others unknown.</p>

11

<p>thank you guys so much for your responses. im less worried now that i know im on the right track for most of these schools. Does anyone know about any of the unanswered for schools? thank you!</p>

12

<p>le bump. or can i get a couple more opinions on what type of uc’s i should be looking at?</p>

13

<p>bump 10char</p>

<p>Cal Poly SLO seems about right. You might get into some of the lower tier UCs (SC, SB, etc). BU is a low reach. But the rest I don’t know enough about.
Good luck!
Chance me back?

<p>I think you also have a pretty good chance at UCD, UCI, and UCSD, not only the “lower tier” UCs. UCLA and UCB are a bit of a reach, but you should definitely apply! You never know :)</p>

16

<p>Thanks for helping me guys. It actually means a lot. Does anyone know about LMU (with aid/ perhaps merit?) or USD? Or Santa Clara Uni?</p>

17

<p>bump 10chars</p>

18

<p>bumpppp!!!</p>

19

<p>Sorry, I feel very selfish and immature for demanding information now. :confused: I just got worried cause today AP tests came in for Spanish and APUSH and I somehow got 3’s and am now bummed out… what I meant to say was: Could somebody please help chance me? Ill chance back.</p>

<p>I would say you are in good shape for all. Your SAT is on the high end for your schools choices, however you GPA is kinda low which makes pretty much all of them, except for probably Cal, matches. If you can raise that GPA (I am not sure if it is really feasible) to a 3.8 or so, Berkeley will probably end up being a match and some of the others, like Northeastern, might be safeties. However, like I said, I’m not sure if its possible to get up the GPA that drastically.</p>
