Hi!
I was wondering if you all could give an honest response to whether or not I could get into these universities:
UC Berkeley (#3)
UCLA (#2)
UCSD
Wash U. St. Louis (#1)
Tufts
Carnegie Mellon
Emory
Purdue
Syracuse
U of Michigan
U of Rochester
USC
I am a senior. I have not exactly decided my major yet but it will definitely range between Biology/Engineering (Math/Science Area)
ACT: N/A
SAT: 2360 (math 800, reading 760, writing 800)
GPA:
- TOTAL: Unweighted (3.61) Weighted (3.85)
- 10-11: Unweighted (3.54) Weighted (3.96)
My gpa is definitely my weakest point. Though not to be used as an excuse, the high school I am currently attending does rank as one of the top 10 in the nation.
AP Tests: Chinese - 5, APUSH - 4, AP Chemistry -3, AP Art History - 4
SAT 2: Chinese - 800, Chemistry and Math 2 TBD (just took it in october, but I am confident on math 2)
EC:
I am multi-lingual.
150+ volunteering
Piano for 10+ years, passed all CM testing (finished level 10) but did not do panel.
Varsity tennis for 4 years, captain senior year.
I got MIP, Coach’s award.
Clubs:
Key Club - President, Secretary
World Vision - VP Junior year
WWF - VP, Publicity
CSF - sophomore representative, junior representative
Good letters of recommendation.
Last summer worked as an intern at a pharmaceutical and shadowed under analytical chemists there for around 2 months.
I would say my essays are 7.5/10
Course Rigor:
Freshman - Took hardest courses available, not allowed to take AP’s
Sophomore - Took the hardest courses, school only offered AP Art History as a sophomore
Junior - 2 AP’s, 2 Honors. (APUSH, AP Chemistry) (Honors European Literature and Honors Pre Calculus)
Senior Schedule - 4 AP’s. (AP Stats, AP Government, AP Calc AB, AP Physics) a
Appreciate all your help!
