<p>Essays:
I already submitted my U of U essay for the honors college, I'm not worried about admission there. My personal statement for the UC program is pretty solid, I'd say I'm a good writer when it comes to school. </p>

<p>I'm angling for an English or humanities education, it's pretty obvious that that's where my strengths lie...</p>

<p>I think that your SAT scores might hurt your chances for schools such as UCLA and UC Berkley. However, you might still have a shot as your extra-curricular activities are quite strong</p>

3

<p>I’m definitely submitting my ACT score, I feel comfortable with those more than my SAT</p>

4

<p>I’d say you have very good odds for getting in to Cal Poly Slo, UCSB, and UCD. UCLA and Berkeley might be a bit of a reach, though.</p>

<p>I know nothing of the University of Utah, but if it’s a safety school, I’m assuming you feel rather good about your chances of being accepted there.</p>

5

<p>Berkley, UCLA, and UCSD are reaches, but still possible. The other schools you should definitely get in!</p>

6

<p>So chancemaster12 says my EC’s are weak. What exactly makes them weak?</p>

7

<p>I have no idea. They look fairly strong to me.</p>

<p>Maybe he or she is implying that you need to have, in no particular order, saved a village in Africa, built seven houses single-handed for the homeless, written a book, liberated a small country from a dictatorship, and been class president.</p>

8

<p>Hahaha thank you! We can’t all be global superheroes :)</p>

9

<p>I feel like chancemaster12 might have been being sarcastic? Haha I’m pretty jealous of all those EC’s.</p>

<p>DENIED BY UCLA YEEE</p>

<p>Still waiting on Berkeley but it looks like I’m going to be easily rejected from there as well.</p>

15

<p>Don’t write Berkeley off just yet! It’s not uncommon for students to get rejected from UCLA, but get into Berkeley. Heck I’m a regents candidate at Berkeley (meaning I’m in the top 2% of their application pool) but I got straight up rejected from UCLA on Friday.</p>
