I am an IL male resident, go to an average high school (high low-income population and 30%+ goes to local community college) and am of Indian descent and 1st to go to college. O by the way, I'm not part of the low income population.</p>

1 AP(US) in jun (5)
I'm taking 6 AP's (CALC AB, Phys, Gov, Stats, English, Spanish)

<p>u wil give into u of i urbana in a heart beat, being an instater, i can tell you that with confidence, ucla, my best friend had similar gpa and corses as u, and she got in. Dont know what state your comin from. Shes from Chicago and there now, and loves it. USC i would think u could get in, they give A LOT OF money too for merit, so I dont have any doubts about that, unc, unless ur from Nc, u prolly wont have a chance cuz they only allocate 20% of all their slots to out of staters, so thats a reach, dont know about duke, but uv got some really impresseive stuff, so good luck. i think u can get into about all of them. But i know u will get into u of i urbana.</p>

<p>hey, I'm applying to duke too (you can see my stats, have a post called Duke). Out of state to UCLA is pretty damn hard because in state only the best get in (I'm from CA). Here in CA it's considered almost as hard to get into as Ivies. You sound great so just write a killer essay that can push you over the line</p>
