<p>Assuming you are a California resident,
UCB: Match</p>

<p>I am a resident of Arizona. Do I still have a shot at UCB and some of the other schools?</p>

4

<p>For extracurriculars, I've also played the clarinet for the past seven years. I'm section leader and treasurer of Band Council.</p>

5

<p>Seriously, I need some honest advice.</p>

6

<p>hmm. I think:</p>

<p>Berkeley & WashU: slight reach
Stanford & Penn: reach</p>

<p>Test scores could be higher & I don't see anything that is extraordinary for a place like Stanford. Write some killer essays...you are in the game at all 4 schools.</p>

<p>Non-California UCB applicant.</p>

<p>Ouch.</p>

<p>Not being Californian almost halves your chances.</p>

<p>I'd still say you have a higher shot at UCB than at Stanford though. Both schools are slight reach/reach.</p>

<p>UCB: Slight Reach (OOS)</p>
