<p>UCI (Chemistry)- In
UCLA (Chemistry)- High Match
UCD (Biomedical Engineering)- In
UCB (Environmental Sci/Nat Res)- High Match
UCSD (Environmental Chemistry)- In
University of the Pacific (accelerated Pre-Pharmacy)- In (does accelerated Pre-Pharmacy make it any more competitive? If not, then you should be in)
Cal Poly SLO (Biomedical Engineering)- I think you have a good shot
Cornell U (Chemistry)- Low Reach</p>

<p>You should be fine at all these schools. You have a great chance. Good Luck!</p>

<p>How interesting…You are applying to almost every school i am applying to and your majors are like mine!!! Well did you receive letters from UCs about something called “ELC”? Cause if you did, UCI and UCD will let you in automatically!!</p>

13

<p>yesss i know of elc
i got the letters for being at least in top 12.5, but i wasnt in the top 4 percent… my counselor said somewhere between 5-10%…
thanks for the responses… anyone else?</p>

14

<p>I think you have a good chance at all the UC’s. They are very number based and you fit right in where you need to. For cornell, I have no idea. I think you will definitely be competitive and it will probably come down to your essays.</p>

15

<p>you have a great chance to get into any of the uc’s leontejwani, good luck how hours of community service hours do you have, I have 300 plus didn’t know if it was enough</p>

16

<p>i think my essays should be good
very unique topics
anyone else? thanks again</p>

17

<p>the ELC thing is really pick I was in the top 4 percent and it didn’t pick me but its ok</p>

18

<p>does anybody how tough is to get into usc marshall, planning to major in bussiness admin and minor in international business, does being an immigrant help at all</p>

19

<p>for essays talk about a activity or talent that makes you stand out, being an indian should help,</p>

20

<p>being indian isnt very unique anymore : /</p>

<p>i believe my essay topics are pretty unique… please dont spam my topics with your usc stuff :[</p>
