<p>You can probably get USC, UCLA, and Cal. But not with a scholarship.</p>

<p>chance me!

<p>You can get into the UCs. For the Ivies, try to show some considerable amounts of commitment to your ECs. Also what can really separate you are your essays. GL! Chance me? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/816473-chance-aa-female-elite-schools-updated-stats.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/816473-chance-aa-female-elite-schools-updated-stats.html&lt;/a&gt; <–Include Yale also!</p>

<p>UCs & Cornell: in. Other ivies are reaches b/c of limited ECs.</p>

<p>chanced all of you :slight_smile: </p>

<p>anyone else?</p>

<p>Your Ecs are kind of weak. On your essays, I hope you focus a bit more on them.
Taking SAT IIs korean as a korean student isn’t very impressive at all. Furthermore, your other two SAT IIs are pretty good but not excellent.</p>

<p>I’d say in for UCLA and USC, but not with scholarships. For Ivy leagues, I’d say a reach for all of htem. UC Berkeley is a high match.</p>

<p>I’d say you have a fair chance at all of them but pumping up you essay to really stress the ECs you have done would help. Beef them up a bit with some good writing. Your test scores are all excellent. If you are wanting some other schools to consider, I would suggest Notre Dame. It’s not Ivy, but I really want to go there…which reminds me…PLEASE CHANCE ME :P</p>

<p>Yea, I wrote an essay that focuses on how yearbook and Key Club shaped what kind of leader I will be. </p>

<p>and I chanced you ilovelaughing :)</p>

<p>Good test scores- however can’t rely on that alone. Your ec’s are very average. You need to demonstrate some type of excellence in a given area to set you a part from all the other great test takers. Try finding a hook and emphasizing it. However you have a good chance so good luck.
