<p>Thank you for any replies! I'm just trying to know where I should apply to and what my chances would be.</p>

<p>A lot of your thread is speculation so it is really hard to judge your chances. Stanford would be a reach for you. Any other specific schools?</p>

<p>That’s more my dream school. I’m also looking at Berkeley, UCLA, CalTech, Cal Poly and MIT, even though it’s on par with Stanford. 95% of this is definite though, I’m just being vague for privacy reasons. Just look at it as if it had been done. What more would I need for Stanford? I compose music too, if that helps</p>

<p>Okay, I think one big thing you are missing is a certain area that you are truly passionate about. Your ECs seem all over the place. You sound like you are trying to be a Renaissance man (not necessarily a bad thing) but colleges want a well rounded class not student. MIT and Caltech are obviously reaches as well. Berkeley is a high match while UCLA is mid to high match. Cal Poly is easy. Also, I really feel like you don’t stand out that much. You seem rather cookie cutter.</p>

<p>Btw what parts are speculation?</p>

<p>I’m trying to go for science engineering based, I just do some unrelated stuff too. if it helps both of my other clubs are science related. Any suggestions as to what else I should do?</p>

<p>Pretty much just my senior grades, I have a definite SAT score but I’m trying to minimize information released</p>
