<p>Harvard, Yale , and Stanford are crapshoots. You could be jesus and get waitlisted for those schools. however, you are as qualified as the best of them. good luck.</p>
<p>everything seems great except the SAT, but again since your are valed. and definitely have other great achievements they might not mind as much, but i agree with above, they are crapshoots, i am applying to yale and stanford too and its just luck to get the acceptance letter for most</p>
<p>Drexel is there because like Tulane they sent me a "Free App". Honestly, I dont know that much about that school at all but the reason I chose it among the other "Free App's" was because they have the major I am interested in; Screenwriting. :)</p>
<p>Pepperdine, Chapman, UC-Davis. Arizona State, SMU, TCU, Tulane, Drexel, Stanford, Yale, and Harvard should be the only schools left on your list. You're too good for the other schools. </p>
<p>Even so, the best schools on this list are TCU, UC-Davis, Chapman, Pepperdine, Stanford, Yale, and Harvard. In my opinion, apply to Stanford, Yale, and Harvard. You have a very good chance of getting in those schools. If you do not get in, go to Pepperdine as a backup since that school is amazing. If you cannot get to Pepperdine, TCU and UC-Davis are very good backup choices.</p>
<p>What is your planned major? and what GPA scale does your school run on?</p>
<p>Thanks Pierre. The gpa scale is on a 5.0. I have had a 5.0 gpa all Junior year and so far Senior year. I am a full IB diploma student. I plan to major in Screenwriting.
I LOVE PEPPERDINE!
It is my #1 choice. :)</p>
<p>you have a great chance at all the non-ivy schools, and as good a chance as anyone at HYS. And if you're a CA Resident (like me!), why not apply to another UC? like LA, Berk, or SD? they are all better than Davis, and you should be able to get into them (well, at least LA and SD...berkley is nutty).
Good Luck!!!</p>
