<p>I'm not an adcom, so it's just a guess:</p>

<p>UCLA -- 60%
UC Berkeley -- 40%
USC -- 70%
Notre Dame -- 70%
Dartmouth -- 15%
Duke -- 30%
NYU -- 30%</p>

<p>being in state i'd say:</p>

<p>UCB: high match
UCLA: high match
USC: match
Notre Dame: Match
Dartmouth: reach
Duke: low reach
NYU: match</p>

<p>You have a great chance at the top UC's as your SATs are well above their average and if the 4.3 is your UC GPA, that's above average too. Great chance at ND, NYU and reasonable chance at USC and Duke. Dartmouth will be hard.</p>

<p>My UC gpa is actually 4.38
And when I applied to Dartmouth I knew it would be a reach! But I hope I get in :)
and thanks for all the responses guys!</p>

<p>I am a college freshman with slightly lower GPA and slightly higher SAT scores and only 6 AP classes all of high school. My EC's and awards didn't even come close to yours. I got into Berkeley, UCLA, USC and NYU with some scholarship from all. I know this year is supposed to be harder but I think you're a lock for all those schools and definitely have a shot at the others, as I was waitlisted from Wharton at UPenn which is supposed to be more difficult than those schools, and you seem to be a more stellar candidate than I was.</p>
