<p>Wow, lots of Reaches. Hard to tell how your Canadian science awards will fly at top US schools. Your scores are on the low side and you're in the extremely competitive Asian pool.</p>

<p>Can you get recruited for swimming?</p>

3

<p>I agree with suze that you should look into getting recruited for your swimming abilities if possible. Otherwise, most of your choices are reaches.</p>

<p>What makes you guys think her score is considered 'low' when she got over a 2100 on her SATs?</p>

5

<p>Read the common data sets before perpetuating the 2100 myth! Also keep in mind the low scorers are hooked. So she has a shot as an athletic recruit which would make her hooked.</p>

<p>Smart Cookie:</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Match (out of state)
UCSD: Safe Match (out of state)
UCI/UCD/UCSB: Safety (out of state)
UCSC/UCR/UCM: Super Safety (out of state)</p>

<p>Wait, if you scored in the top 25% in the nation, how did you get 680 on Math I? (Sorry, don't mean to be rude, just curious)</p>

8

<p>haha...I got into H, S, and P...without applying as an athlete. Chances threads are obviously very inaccurate...</p>

9

<p>Wow, congrats! =] Which one will you be going to?</p>

10

<p>Uh, you're in everywhere.</p>

11

<p>Why would anyone think chances threads could tell you anything you did not know? I have never thought they were worth more than saying you appear to have a shot or appear to not. And even there how know, too much info missing, like the stuff on the recs that matters.</p>

<p>Woah, Asian+International+Girl, 3 qualities that work against applicants and yet you still got into HSP! And with "only" a 2180. You give me hope!!! Take THAT CC!</p>
