<p>SCHOOLS:
UCLA, UCB, UCI, UCSD, UCD, Columbia (ED), UPenn, Brown</p>
<p>I have no doubt you’re good for all the UCs. Berkeley and LA are great for you. You stand a decent shot at the Ivys. They’re always massively unpredictable but with your stats they’ll review you for sure.</p>
<p>Notations: school – % of prediction that you will get in
UCLA-70%
UCB-65%
UCSD-80%
UCI-90%
UCD-90%</p>
<p>Columbia-60%
UPenn-60%
Brown-65%</p>
<p>Overall, i’m 99.99% sure you will get in at least 1 schools in your list. </p>
<p>What is your major? (your major on your application definitely affects your chance)
For everyone’s info: majors with low demand (meaning not many students apply), the chance of getting is higher than majors with high demand (meaning impacted majors). </p>
<p>My background: UCLA math graduate with accounting minor and current graduate student in industrial engineering :)</p>
<p>I’m not too knowledgeable on the UC schools although I would say you are probably pretty well matched for most of them, but I can agree mostly that:</p>
<p>Columbia - Low reach
UPenn - Reach
Brown -Reach</p>
<p>You have a great shot at all UCs, but the ivies are major reaches.</p>
<p>I’m always puzzled to read posts like Kevin’s above. I feel they do a tremendous disservice. A few minutes of research (which anyone posting should do) shows posts like that are not only factually wrong (Penn harder to get into than Brown?!) but underlines that so many don’t get that anyone without a hook, including 4.0/2400 students, do not have a 60% chance at any ivy.</p>
<p>UCLA-high match
UCB-high match
UCSD-match
UCI-low match
UCD-low match
Columbia-High reach
UPenn-High reach
Brown-High reach</p>
<p>And I have to second that Kevin is completely wrong, nowhere near 60% at Ivies. Your numbers are below the averages at the Ivies (2160 is a bit low), and you do not have any hooks. Even hooked applicants with perfect scores do not have near a 60% chance at Ivy league schools.</p>
<p>Don’t mean to crush any hopes or anything, just trying to be realistic. You still have a shot to get in, like all of us do. Just don’t look at Kevin’s percentages and feel you should “probably” get into one of those schools, because that’s an impossible situation for almost anyone.</p>
<p>UCLA - 40-50%
UCB - 40%
UCI - in
UCSD - 50-70%
UCD - in
Columbia (ED) - 20%
UPenn - 10-20%
Brown - 10-20%</p>
<p>i probably underestimate slightly but better that than overestimating right? (cough Kevin) You have good stats. HAHA I worked for FARMERS insurance and you worked for ALLSTATE. hilarious</p>
<p>I would say that you have a VERY good chance at UCLA/UCB, and I would think that you are pretty much in for all the other UC’s. As far as Columbia goes, I think you have a good chance, possibly a reach.
I’m not very familiar with UPenn and Brown, but I know they can be difficult to get into, but with numbers like yours, I think you have a good chance.
Hope this helps. :)</p>
<p>First of all, thank you for everyone pointing out your opinions regarding my estimates. It is my rough estimates–overestimated for being too optimistic but probabilitically speaking, all of us do not know the exact chance.</p>
