<p>Hi.
So I go to a really good private school in nyc which is recognized as being like extremely hard and such. Like this year, out of a class of 102, we sent like 21 kids to HYPS. People in the middle(B - B+) of that class got sent to like Duke(rarely), Hopkins, Emory etc. And everybody got into college.
And I just got back my jr year grades, and my gpa(we dont actually have GPAs but i calculated it) was a 3.57. It had been a little bit lower freshman and sophomore years(like a B/B+).</p>

<p>My sats were 2210 - 750 CR, 720 W, 740 M.
Sat IIs - 710Math I, 750 US history.</p>

<p>The highlights of my extras are
1.) 3 sport varsity athlete
Baseball, varsity since freshman year.
Cross Country - 1 year varsity.
Indoor track - 2 years varsity.
2.) Newspaper sectional editor.
3.) Paid internship with a neurologist.
4.) Alumni Affairs club co-president (legit club that makes money for the school)
and a good amount of community service and such.</p>

<p>Also, I will have good recs.</p>

<p>So with that, and being out of state, do i have a chance?</p>

<p>If you could bring up your GPA then I think you have as good of a chance as anybody else that’s competitive.</p>

<p>UC’s don’t do letters of rec. Your extra-c’s and test scores are all in line. Your GPA is going to make or break you for the most part.</p>

<p>I got in out of state from a private school with a 2270 on the SAT and around 3.8 average… you have a shot. They want your test scores and your OOS tuition…</p>

<p>You sound like a pretty solid match, just be sure to really put some time into writing good essays.</p>
