<p>lol retake a 2300 and 34… why?</p>

<p>Your academics and stats are amazing, but your EC’s are only just “meh”.</p>

<p>I realize CS makes it more competitive, but UCLA and UCB are match (if not cs) and low reach (if cs).
The others are low matches for the most part.</p>

<p>You will get into all but UCLA/UCB. You should get into one of UCLA/UCB

<p>@noel597‌ I’m probably not going to retake the sat/act</p>

<p>What EC’s do you suggest I do, or have done? Just interested.</p>

5

<p>Yeah. Please don’t; it won’t matter. If anything, it’ll look bad. Well, really, you shouldn’t add anything now. Ad coms will see RIGHT through.</p>

6

<p>@noel597‌ I was just wondering what I should have done that would have been good.</p>

7

<p>Significant accomplishments in your activities.
A few activities with 4 year involvement.</p>

8

<p>UCB/UCLA: you should get into at least one, maybe both
All other UC’s: you’re in</p>

<p>Chance back

<p>Sobbing can we just trade stats please </p>

<p>Are you a CA resident? If so, your chances into a UC will increase by a lot.
I’m going off of the kids in my school’s acceptances, but I think you have a very solid chance with every UC up to UCSD. UCLA & UC Berkeley are both pretty iffy, but you have a very solid chance at making into at least one of the two. You still have a whole summer to improve your ec, so maybe volunteer at a local animal shelter or take a community college class? </p>

<p>My stats aren’t nearly as great as yours, but it would be awesome if you can give me some feedback as well!
