<p>I’m not really sure about UCB so I’ll let someone else deal with that but:</p>

<p>while you have impressive numbers, the schools you listed also have a strong EC focus, and I don’t see much that stands out in your resume in that respect. Keep in mind there will literally be tons of kids applying with similar scores so a distinguishing factor would definitely be preferable</p>

<p>HYP- reach
the other three- low reach/reach</p>

chance me?</p>

<p>UCB - Match (based on knowledge of previous admissions at my school in Cali)
John Hopkins - mid- or high- reach? I only knew one person who was able to gain acceptance and she was very involved in national clubs and received many awards and recognitions and also had a high GPA and great test scores ( which I’m sure are similar to yours)</p>

4

<p>You’ll be a strong candidate for Berkeley, JHU, Chicago and UPenn. HYSPM are reaches or high reaches for everyone.</p>

<p>What is your intended major, BTW?</p>

5

<p>Good chances for Berkeley IF you don’t apply for Engineering.</p>

<p>I agree with raider1999. Little EC = no HYP. Sorry.</p>

<p>Your lack of ECs is going to make it pretty hard to get int UPenn, Harvard, Yale, or Princeton</p>
