<p>Your SATs and GPA are good. Also youre from a competitive school.
Youre a URM so that should help I guess.
ECs are weak (Sorry man), but if youre pretty good at Tennis that should be nice. Are these all the ECs youve done or have you not listed some?
I think youre a strong candidate for UCs.
Pomona is pretty selective so that can be hard.
So, the way I see it,</p>

<p>UCLA, UCSD - Match/Low Match
Pomona - High Match
Cornell/Dartmouth - Low reach/Reach (One of my friends had just a little bit higher GPA than yours, and he got in to Cornell, he too only had Community Service and a sport as his EC, so you just might get into Cornell) (He was an international btw)
HYPM - High Reach</p>

<p>But you never know , right ?
So all the best. :)</p>

<p>And could you please chance me back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1411650-chance-indian-hypd-cornell-mit-will-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1411650-chance-indian-hypd-cornell-mit-will-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>That’s not all the EC’s, but the main ones worth mentioning. I chose to go for quality over quantity. It’s hard to do much else extracurricular wise when I’m playing tennis for 3 hrs a day right after school and going to the gym if it rains. I play at a much higher level than someone on the avg varsity sports team. Do you think the Admin Committees take into account the total time spent on EC’s as oppsed to the quantity? Because I spend quite a bit of time on the EC’s mentioned. Thanks for chancing me!</p>

<p>I agree with the URM hook… </p>

<p>UCLA - match/safety
Berkeley - match
UCSD - safety (they take ~1900/2000 SAT with pretty vanilla EC’s from my exp, soo…)
Rice - match
Stanford - reach (depends on your essays)
Columbia - reach
Cornell - reach
Dartmouth - reach
Brown - reach
UPenn - reach
MIT - reach
HYP -reach
CMU - safety
Johns Hopkins -match
Northwestern - safety
pomona - safety/match
Harvey Mudd - safety/match (leaning towards match)</p>
