Chance ME!!!
A fellow Chem major! I recommend not sending your chem subject test unless required. You have so many chem accomplishments (that I could only dream of having) that the test score could hurt more than help. A lot of those top schools don’t take anything below 700. However, take what I say with a grain of salt because what works for me might not work for u. Best of luck!
Wow! What a great student. You have a shot at all of those schools. You are especially competitive at UCSD, UCSB, and UC Davis. You should apply to some safeties, such as Arizona State – Go Devils! Best of luck,
In-State or Out-of-State for UC’s?
Did you list your AP Scores on your common application?
And your SAT II score is a red flag for a chemistry major.
Unweighted and Weighted GPA’s are extremely low for the private schools you’re applying to.
Sorry for the MIT results.
UCB- reach
UCLA- reach
UCSD- low reach
UCSB- reach for CCS
CalTech- reach
USC- low reach
NYU- match?
i think you shud have applied to more schools( CSU’s, other UC’s, etc…
your ACT is amazing but your GPA is low, especially for schools like CalTech and top UC’s.
UC GPA is very important for all UC’s, and you don’t have above a 4.0.
UCSB, you have a solid chance, but for CCS, it is very difficult.
Hopefully, you have good essays, solid EC’s tho, relating to chem.
if u can, try to add more apps to safety schools, deadline is approaching…
