<p>assuming your from Cali, I'd say you have a decent shot at all the UCs and Stanford... You need to write astronomical essays for UChic not beacuse you cant make it but beacause they really focus on essays... It could go either way for Yale, Columbia and Penn... I think you'll get into atleast one of the last three. Good Luck</p>

<p>P.s. I'd choose Columbia or Penn for Economics</p>
