<p>stacked ecs</p>
<p>essays have been described as "kick ass" and "just short of life changing"
but seriously they are solid</p>
<p>what are my chances at a school the likes of Berk. UCLA etc, i know i hear in less than a month but i am nervous</p>
<p>stanford is a reach for anyone, just thought you might want to know, i applied EA, from out of the country, rejected, stats 1400 (800M, i think this was the reason)
my friend(living in calif.) was deferred
1460 (800M), 800IIc, 760Physics, 750writing and 720 bio
and he is a varsity basketball player and also some club pres. etc
so just don't depend on it too much</p>
<p>stanford is my big reach...however I am getting a letter of rec. from my dad's friend who is high up at stan and also one from my neighbor who is an ex-senator stanford alum.....wat i really want to know is my chance at berkeley</p>
<p>good at berkeley I think, what makes me nervous is the "stacked ecs" statement, I'm hoping you're a "leader not a follower." ;)</p>
<p>elbrian9:</p>
<p>UCLA: Match
UCB: Match
Stanford: Reach</p>
<p>for sure, i have lead quite a few extra currics</p>
<p>hmmm......anybody?</p>
<p>you realize race doesn't matter for colleges in cali right ? prop 209 ended affirmative action in cali in 1996. i think most schools do give extra consideration if you're from a underprivileged background (ie poor family)</p>
<p>edit: you have similar stats to me... and i also applied to ucla, cal and stanford</p>
<p>You will be accepted to all of them, in my opinion.</p>
<p>OneMom:</p>
<p>How can you be so sure that elbrian9 will make it into Stanford?</p>
<p>Well, I'm not really. It just seems he has good stats and he does have some connections there.</p>
<p>someone has to have something to say</p>
<p>You are in at Cal and UCLA</p>
<p>Why don't you check your admission decision at UCLA, now that it's up?</p>
<p>it's up now ??? i thought they didn't put it up until the 15th</p>
<p>I am in at UCLA</p>
<p>i got accepted too ^^</p>
<p>See what I mean? I told you UCLA was a match! :)</p>
<p>dude it's hella crazy... the acceptance rate for UCLA dropped to 10% this year.. this is what it says in my letter: "You are among an exceptional group of 4,300 students in our fall 2005 freshman class, and you were selected from the largest pool of university candidates in the nation -- over 42,000 talented and accomplished applicants!"</p>
<p>I think you read it wrong. There are 4300 <em>freshman</em>, but 42000 <em>total applicants</em>. Last year UCLA had 13k transfer apps, and accepted about 5k of them.</p>
