<p>What a Harsh(or insecure?) teacher! You must have been unlucky to be caught…</p>
<p>All I would recommend about your teacher is to visit the office-with an appointment, of course-give him an explanation(apologetic, but don’t make it SOUND full of excuse) that you were completely unaware of the test and that it is nothing personal. Just saying “sorry” won’t cut. If he doesn’t accept the apology, then there isn’t really anything you can’t do. Did you ask him for a recommendation? If he doesn’t accept your apology. I wouldn’t get LOR from him. </p>
<p>You have a fabulous numbers, but ECs aren’t good enough to compete with other Ivy league applicants…I guess except UCB and UCLA, all the others are reaches, not only they are very hard but also because of your ECs.(and UMich is harsh on OOS) Unless you have a sparkling kick butt essays and recommendations, it will be very hard. However, if your cerebral palsy is severe enough to make it hard to do any other ECs, it won’t affect you so negatively as it would without a disability.</p>
<p>UCLA and UCB may be high match/matches. I think you also need to consider UCI and UCSD.</p>
<p>Except DSC, all of them are top schools. Are you sure that you are content with going to DSC if you don’t get accepted in any other school? Why don’t you consider schools like Washu?</p>
