I know I’m lacking in terms of AP classes, but I have taken all possible AP courses possible at my school along with a long list of college courses. Overall, I feel like I’m pretty average in about every statistic and I don’t really have anything that stands out. I’m not too hopeful about my chances of getting into some of the top tier schools (JHU, Stanford, MIT, UPenn, etc). Getting into Berkeley would be my dream scenario, but I think UCSD is more of a realistic choice for me. What do you guys think?
