Chance Me [UCLA, UCB, CORNELL, WASHU]...will chance back!

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Yes, I'm a junior. I understand if you don't want to waste your time, but please help me out... I screwed up and am trying to get an idea of what I have a shot at.</p>

<p>Ethnicity: Asian
Gender: Female</p>

<p>UC GPA: 3.7/3.8 W</p>

<p>(school weights the same as UC)</p>

<p>SAT: 1430/2220</p>

<p>ECs:
-Own several businesses making thousands a year
-Own several websites and sold several sites
-CSF
-Varsity Track 4 years</p>

<p>Schools:
-Cornell ED
-WashU ED <- (double legacy, dad is well known in the engineering department)
-UC Berkely
-UCLA
-UCSD</p>

<p>Note: Not sure if this would make a difference, but I plan on entering either computer science, business, or chemical engineering. I heard I have an advantage since I'm a female... :)</p>

<p>UCSD - low reach/match
UC berkeley - Reach
UCLA - reach (I know major does not make a difference in admissions in UCLA)
Cornell - reach
WashU- I have no idea LOL</p>

<p>It would actually help if you listed how many weighted classes you took in your sophomore year (If you took 4 weighted, a 3.7 isnt very good; if you took 0 its good). Its hard to tell without your junior year GPA
Get that GPA up, and consider doing more volunteer work and EC’s, esp if you want to go to a private. The business thing is nice, but its not reputed (you cant get a letter of req from yourself). Consider interning at some major corporations, which shouldnt be difficult to get if you already have an impressive portfolio. </p>

<p>Sophmore year I could only take one weighted class (most our school allowed)</p>

<p>Unfortunately, thats weighted gpa is including my grades currently :confused: </p>

<p>Noteable classes I have taken:
AP Bio
AP Chem
AP World
H Precalc , H Alg 2, H geometry
Honors English</p>

<p>I’m working on ECs and volunteer now! :slight_smile: Running businesses and tons of websites takes up a lot of time though :confused: </p>

<p>i’m kind of disappointed they’re all reaches though… >.<</p>

4

<p>You cant apply to two schools ED if they find out you did you will be in big trouble.</p>

5

<p>I’m not, I want to figure out which to apply to based on chances :-)</p>

<p>It would be WashU but… I heard some stories about racism :/</p>

6

<p>ooo ok just wanted to make sure you knew that</p>

7

<p>you’re in at washu do ed there… the only possible way you wouldnt get in is because of your gpa but double legacy lol…</p>

<p>oops for soe reason it wasnt coming up :/</p>

<p>UCSD - match
UC berkeley - Reach
UCLA - high reach
Cornell - reach</p>

<p>Raise that GPA! GPA>>>businesses and stuff. Think about your letter of reqs as well.
and i dont think you would need to focus on SAT at this point, 2220 shouldnt make too much of a difference from a 2400. EC’s and GPA are what matter past this point.</p>

9

<p>You have a chance for UCLA and Washingtob, but Cornell is a huge reach and so is UCB. If you can raise your SAT and join a lot of clubs and get leadership position your chances will increase dramastically</p>

10

<p>chocolatecricket… i chanced you back before you wrote that post o___O 20 minutes before lol</p>

<p>ahh so retake SATs? what should be my goal? I’m almost sure I can get a 2350 once I get the SC section down.</p>

11

<p>Are u a resident. I think that you could get into most of them, some might be a reach like berkeley. Can u chance me, reply back if yes.</p>

12

<p>yes, where’s your link? :)</p>

<p>and yes, i’m from california. heard that because of budget cuts, its harder for in-state applicants to get accepted :/</p>

13

<p>Here it is. chance me <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/members/bernie8910-413561.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/members/bernie8910-413561.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

14

<p>Washington U, St. Louis ED - Reach
Cornell ED - Reach
Berkeley - Reach
UCLA - Reach
UCSD - Match</p>

15

<p>Washington U, St. Louis ED - mid reach
Cornell ED - Reach
Berkeley - low reach
UCLA - low reach
UCSD - Match</p>

<p>WashU is particularly flaky in their admissions since they tend to reject a lot of over qualified candidates while accepting under qualified ones. I think you’ll be alright though.</p>

16

<p>so the general gist/idea seems like everythings a reach except ucsd? </p>

<p>Do my SATs not make up for my grades? :confused: And would it be more impressive if I said how much I make from my businesses and websites? (it’s thousands a month sometimes so…?)</p>
