<p>Hey everybody, I'm wondering what my chances for transferring to these institutions might be: U Penn, Cornell, Brown, Georgetown, Northwestern, UC Berkeley, UCLA, U Chicago, Washington University. I am aiming to transfer from a respectable junior college in California.</p>
<ul>
<li>I am Mexican</li>
<li>I have had a 4.0 all five semesters I have been attending junior college, and am positive I will be able to continue this trend my sixth semester.</li>
<li>I have volunteered at the same Humane Society for two years now, give blood frequently, donate my hair to Locks of Love, and am a volunteer TA for a history teacher. My TA responsibilities include grading quizzes and papers, lecturing, leading study groups, and occasionally running the class.
-My letters of Rec are good. One will be coming from a Princeton Professor who is the man I TA for. I got high A's in three of his classes, have dinner with him and his family semi-frequently, and would call him a friend. Another is from a professor who is a UC Berkeley PhD graduate and whose classes I have gotten A's in five times. The third is from a woman who I know all the way back from when I went to high school. She is good friends with my family and I got an A in her English class.</li>
<li>I play tons of musical instruments and am in multiple bands that tour and record, and I record and sound engineer for my own bands as well as others. I also create films and video shorts, have worked since I was a Junior in high school and am currently working two jobs, and participate in non varsity athletics.
-I am confident my essays are strong
-My High School GPA is bad, but I think that since I'm transferring that won't play a big role
-I got a 2150 on the SAT -- 730 Writing, 670 Math, 750 Reading. I'm hoping the math won't hurt me much because I'm a history and religious studies double major.</li>
</ul>
<p>If anyone has an idea where all this might put me I would really appreciate it, thanks so much!</p>
