<p>So, given this information, what do you guys think about my chances? Any and all input is much appreciated!*</p>

<p>Couple questions first: Scores are all estimates? (You are a junior… and somehow you already know your AP scores from both this year and next year)

  • Do you speak those languages fluently?</p>

<p>Siemprell: the AP scores I posted are what I’m expecting, so just give your answer assuming I get those scores:
And im fluent in Spanish, Italian and obviously English, however I’m not entirely fluent in mandarin (I can carry a conversation, communicate effectively, write and read)</p>

<p>I think you stand a good chance at all the mentioned schools. You are very strong academically I think the only thing that may hold you up from Ivy League schools is the width of your EC spread and lack of depth. You have done a lot, which is impressive by all means! But you have not done a lot of one single thing that will set you apart.</p>

<p>NYU should be a safety considering your ECs.
UCLA and Berkeley would be matches.
Stanford, Columbia, and Georgetown are kind of all crap shoots, it all depend on who your competition is…
Idk about Fordham.
But wow, your ECs are impressive.</p>
