<p>You’re going to get in at all of the University of Californias. Given your (percieved) lack of extra-curricular involvement though, I don’t see many Ivies after you except for maybe Penn CAS and SEAS and Cornell.</p>
<p>Chance me back please? :)</p>

How should I improve my extra curricular involvement?</p>
<p>Instead of going after a lot of different activities or activities that just seem good, take something up that you care about. Like a cause. Follow the rabbit hole as deeply as you can go and just put yourself out there to see where opportunities take you.</p>
<p>I see from your ECs you are into medicine? It is so hard to make yourself stand out given that medicine is a saturated field…but that’s why you can diversify your portfolio. Instead of just volunteering at a hospital, start your own health initiative. Do research. Teach a class on biology. Write an opinion editorial to a newsletter on the ACA. Discover the implications of medicine, not just medicine itself.</p>
<p>Chance me pwease?</p>
<p>Thanks for the chance!</p>
<p>ok thanks for advice! and I already chance you :)</p>
<p>haha I got ninja’d</p>
<p>Dude feel free to personally message me anytime to discuss opportunities and how you could possibly get more involved.</p>
<p>I think for the high Ivies, it’s def. reaches, and for low Ivies, it’s low reaches/high matches. For UCs (I live in California) so I think your chances for them are really high! If you wanna get into Ivies, you have to have something that stands out, not only grades, so I agree with making your ECs more spectacular and your essays stand out! When did you come to America? I am an immigrant too haha

<p>UCs: Safety to almost safety
Cornell: Solid chances</p>

<p>of course you have a chance. it’s just that the colleges look at applicants on a national scale; after all there are thousands of high schools in the US</p>
<p>i usually think of the really top colleges as a reach for the average applicant, then low reach if their stats are on par (or above) and they have really good credentials</p>
<p>still, your school related ECs are not that unique although making AIME twice is impressive if you did reasonably well (obv. i’m biased cause i’m a math person) if you did some other math stuff outside of school that would probably be awesome :D</p>
<p>UCB, UCLA - high match/low reach
most Ivies - low-mid reach
UCD, UCSD - low match
UCRiverside - safety</p>
<p>by the way, how do they UCs weight? and what is your 3rd weighted?</p>
<p>chance me back if you get a chance

<p>thanks! they uc weighted by only counting 8 semesters of extra gpa points. and fully weighted does not have this limit.
i will chance back!</p>
<p>Well you’ve certainly demonstrated your ability to complete any of their courseloads, assuming your senior year goes well. Your ec’s are good, and creating the science club is a huge plus.</p>
<p>UC schools: match, safety (Berkeley maybe a really low reach)
Ivies: definitely a chance, especially with Cornell, low reach</p>
<p>Don’t know about UCs, but:
Dartmouth, Cornell: match/low reach
HYP: reaches but that’s for everyone, really</p>
<p>Chance me back?
