Chances at some uc's and others

<p>I am a californian resident. I am also an asian male.</p>

<p>GPA:
UW-3.97
UC Fully Weighted- 4.6
UC capped-4.3
rank:4/800</p>

<p>Scores:
SAT 2120
ACT 32
SAT 2 Math 2c 800
SAT 2 Chem 710
AP's: 7
Chem, english, calc ab, calc bc, stats, bio, psych= all passed mostly with 4's and 5's
Got pretty good ec's, awards.</p>

<p>I am scared about my essays, so i was wondering how much lower would my chances be if my essays are not too good? I don't think they are bad, but they are not wow.</p>

<p>Colleges:
UCLA
UCB
UCSD
Cornell
Johns Hopkins
USC</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure you're safe with the numbers at the UCs. </p>

<p>I'm not too familiar with the privates, but I think they are high matches/low reaches with your stats, at least USC and JH.</p>

<p>What is your major? What are your activities? Assuming non-engineering:</p>

<p>UCLA - Match
UCB - Slight Reach / Match
UCSD - Safety
Cornell - N/A
Johns Hopkins - N/A
USC - Match</p>

<p>o, i am majoring in biology</p>

<p>bump.......</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Match (in state)
UCSD: Safe Match (in state)
USC: Safe Match
Cornell: Match-Slight Reach
John Hopkins: Match-Slight Reach</p>

<p>The SAT score is kinda low for Cornell/JHU. If it were higher, you'd have a good shot. As it is now, those are slight reaches.</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: match
UCSD: safe match
USC: match</p>

<p>He didn't even list his ec's? How is it that you guys were still able to chance him for Cornell and JHU, where ec's matter...a lot?</p>

<p>bucks06:</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Match

<p>UCLA,UCB, UCSD: safe match
Cornell: match/slight reach
Johns Hopkins: match/slight reach
USC: safe match</p>
