Chance me for California schools? Will chance back.

<p>I recently got into my top 2 business schools at Cal which is rank 2 according to usnews (pre haas) and NYU Stern which is rank 5. I did not have a single business EC and relatively unimportant other ECs nor was my GPA as high as yours and I am chinese so it’s definitely not affirmative action. What I did have is a 2310 with 800 in math and cr (a lot of schools dont look at writing so basically to them i have a 2400) 13 AP classes mostly 5s and 4s and essays sculpted for Ivy Leagues (all waitlisted or denied at unfortunately). So honestly, I’d say if you raised your SAT (which you should definitely definitely do since that SAT score is much below the average at almost all of the UCs) and write some decent essays you can go just about any UC school and maybe even some top tier private schools</p>
