Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>What are my chances for these schools based on my stats? (stanford, cal, ucla, usc)
Public school in Southern California.
G.P.A: 4.6</p>

<p>rank: 2 out of 390</p>

<p>SAT 1: 1920 math:660 c.r: 630 writing: 630 </p>

<p>(I swear I did not know the SAT even existed until the end of sophomore year. Did not really study, as a result :/. It's probably because I have no family members in college other than my brother (one year older), and my school/community is pretty bad. I live in the "ghetto" as some may call it. lol. I think I might have the highest SAT at my school, and it is relatively low. The lack of motivation I see embarrasses me sometimes >.< )</p>

<p>SAT 2: math 2: 620; us history: 640.
AP Exams: USH: 5; English language & composition: 5; AP euro: 3; AP calc: 2 :/</p>

<p>Extra-Curriculars: Track for 4 years. 3 years varsity and captain 1 year. (mile time of 4:40). Cross Country 3 years varsity (captain).
French Club 3 years. (President junior year)
Eco-Club 2 years.
AVID 4 years.
CSF 2 years</p>

<p>work experience: been working at mcdonald's for 1 year now (average of 11 hrs. per week) (summer about 30 hrs. per week). Got a job for financial need.</p>

<p>Awards: not much. principle's honor roll. MVP cross country. All-league cross country. Iron man for track. AP scholar. All of my awards are from my school... nothing big.</p>

<p>Hooks: Mexican-American. Low-income single mother (12,000 a year). First-generation college student. Domestic violence problems as a child. Brother is currently at Berkeley?</p>

<p>Letters of rec: pretty good. they describe how I overcame domestic violence and still did well in school. </p>

<p>Sorry for any spelling/grammar mistakes. I did this as quickly as possible on my ipod.</p>

<p>It all looks good except for the SAT. If posible, study and retake? Try for a 2200+ GL.</p>

3

<p>Your weighted gpa doesnt mean as much as the un weighted one and i dont think you posted it.
SAT are really bad for stanford and school on par with it
Try to get maybe a job that backs up your hobbies/shows leadership
Ecs are ok
and awards need some help</p>

4

<p>Stanford- reach. The only thing going for you is your URM status, but being Mexican American gives you the least advantage of any URM in college admissions. Your other stats, especially ECs, are well below average.
Cal, UCLA - high matches since Cal doesn’t consider race
USC - match</p>

5

<p>you didn’t list your intended major, i think it is a very important factor.
usc-match
ucla-reach
berkeley-very high reach
stanford-not a match</p>

6

<p>Stanford-High Reach
UCLA/Cal Berkeley-Reaches
USC-Match</p>

7

<p>agree with past1234
Stanford-Very High Reach
UCLA/Cal Berkeley-Reach
USC-Match but may be a financial reach</p>

8

<p>Oh dang lol. College admission requirements are no joke. I forgot about unweighted gpa; it’s 3.97</p>

9

<p>Intended major: civil engineering</p>

10

<p>very good chances at Ucla and Berkeley
a bit lower at USC
and Stanford’s a reach</p>

11

<p>Good chances at UCLA and Berkeley if your schools low performing and you’re rank 2</p>
