<p>Applied/Applying to UCLA, UNC CH (EA), University of Michigan (EA), Miami (EA), UCSD, UC Berkeley, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, CU Boulder, University of Maryland, Rutgers</p>
<p>Sorry, I do know of those some of those schools, but I’m not the most adept at their admissions… But I do know all about the UCs! haha.</p>
<p>UCLA- Match
UCSD- In
UC Berkeley- Match</p>
<p>You have strong SAT scores, the average GPA for those schools (LA + B), and your ECs set you apart quite well and show passion. Write a spectacular essay about them and your passion and I don’t see how you wouldn’t be in!</p>

<p>hate to burst your bubble/be a negative nancy, but UCLA will be really difficult to get into. I’m sure you’re aware of all the rumors that they only care about gpa and SAT scores for out of state people. I’m applying to HYP Columbia Duke etc and I was going to apply to UCLA but it’s just such a turn off how they treat out of state people. My SATs are 2260 and my gpa is 4.13 (out of 4.3), but in my school alone there are two kids with 2350+ SATs and 4.1ish gpas…so I kind of gave up. In conclusion. You will easily get into all the schools but the UC schools will be a reach</p>
<p>Your GPA isn’t bad at all (it’s actually pretty solid). The ACT is great, EC’s are pretty strong (I’m a DECA kid too, lol… were you at Anaheim last year?), and the transcript, for this year at least, looks great; here are my chances:</p>
<ul>
<li>UCLA: Low-Reasonable Reach</li>
<li>UNC CH (EA): Reasonable Reach</li>
<li>University of Michigan (EA): In</li>
<li>Miami (EA): In</li>
<li>UCSD: Low-Reasonable Reach (all top 10% students)</li>
<li>UC Berkeley: Reasonable-BIG Reach (OK to have one)</li>
<li>Vanderbilt: Match-Reach</li>
<li>Notre Dame: Low Reach</li>
</ul>
<p>Great list! Hope this helps!! Plz chance back (on the 2.0 thread)
