Chance me? (UCs, USC, Georgetown?)

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm currently a rising senior. I want to know how if I would be competitive at UC Berkeley, UC Los Angeles, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara & UC Irvine.
Would Cal, LA and SD be reaches?
Also how competitive would I be at Georgetown & USC? Those have always been two of my dream schools.
Also if you could give me a few safety schools that would be good options for me, I'm not quite sure what qualifies a school as a safety.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.96(UW) & 4.54(W)
UC GPA: 4.36
Rank: 5/260
SAT: CR 670 M 670 W 700 (Comp: 2040); I will be retaking and hopefully getting around 2150 in Sept.
SAT II: Chem 730 Math II 680
AP: Chem - 3; English Language - 5</p>

<p>Course load (My school doesn't offer much):
Junior: AP Chem, AP English Language & Composition, Honors Pre-Calculus & Honors Physiology
Senior: AP Physics C, AP Calc AB, AP Government & Politics, AP English Literature</p>

<p>Extra Curriculars:
-4 High School & Competitive Cheerleading (2 Years Captain): I train 15 hours/week year round.
-10 year Girl Scout and volunteer weeks of my summer's to working at a day camp. (~100 hours/summer)
-Editor of my school newspaper (~5 hours/week)

-Interact Club Member (School service club)</p>

<p>Thank you so much for taking the time to chance me. I will chance back! :)</p>

<p>Are you from california? Look at the class profiles and see how you match up. A safety is a school is a school that you know will accept you. Typically, a safety school is a school you wouldn’t mind attending if you were to get rejected from the rest of the schools on your list.</p>

<p>Read this: <a href=“Graduate, Undergraduate and Equity Affairs | UCOP”>http://www.ucop.edu/student-affairs/programs-and-initiatives/undergraduate-admissions/eligibility-local-context.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>

</p>

<p>Basically states that if you are a CA resident who is in the top 9% of his/her graduating class, then you will be admitted to at least one UC.</p>

<p>Georgetown/UCLA/UCB: High Match(Increase your SAT score and they could be Matches)
UCSD/USC: Match
UCSB/UCI: Low Match
For a safety, you want a school that you have close to a 100% chance of acceptance and you can afford without alot of financial aid. You might want to consider SDSU/CPP/CSULB.</p>
