Chance me for Stanford, Cal, CMU and Ivies?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey guys! Stanford, Cal, CMU, and the other Ivies are my dream schools, and I was wondering how I look.</p>

<p>SAT: 2290 (I'll try for a 23+)
GPA: 4.0 UW (very high 4 weighted). I would have taken 8-9 AP classes and several honors classes (no regular classes from 10th-12th)
SAT II: 750 on Math II, 780 on Chem
Rank: Our school doesn't have ranks but I'm in the top 10% and it's possibly one of the top 5 schools in my area.
ECs: There are three things that I focus on in particular and these are activities that I have a genuine passion for and the only ones worth mentioning when applying to college. I'm on the varsity golf team and am by no means the next Tiger Woods, but have an unfeigned passion for the game regardless of how good I am or will be. I also started this technology website that has gathered a considerable following and I'm very interested in it. Finally, I'm head junior volunteer for a non-profit that provides college tuition for people in third world countries and during the summer, I traveled to a remote part of India and witnessed first hand the benefits of my work. And to top it all off, at the organization's annual event, a beneficiary of the program came up to me and thanked me for my work, proving my impact.</p>

<p>How do I look when applying to these schools?</p>

<p>Very good chances! Remember to write good essays though and get recs from the people in your school who know you best</p>

<p>Fellow golfer unite!
What major are you doing?</p>

<p>Chances:
UCB- Match (most majors) or High Match (EECS?)
CMU- Match (MCS, CIT) or Low Reach (SCS)
Stanford- Reach (for anyone)
Ivies- All Reaches (perhaps Low Reach at Cornell)</p>

<p>Your ECs look a little lacking on paper, but if you can convey them in a positive light and show your dedication they should be all right. Your SAT II in Math II is also a little weak comparatively (they give you a lot of wiggle room to still get an 800).</p>
