<p>Colleges I plan to apply to:</p>

<p>Stanford [EA]
UCB
UCSD
UCSB</p>

<p>what are my chances T_T</p>

2

<p>The SAT score is a bit weak for some of those schools, the GPA is slightly weak, and the ECs are average.</p>

<p>Stanford: reach
Berkeley: slight reach - reach
UCSD: safe match - safety (ELC)
UCSB: safety (ELC)</p>

3

<p>An 1890 will not get you into Stanford, especially without earth-shattering ECs and GPA.</p>

<p>Stanford: Huge Reach
UCB: Reach
UCSD: Match
USCB: Safety</p>

4

<p>Stanford: REJECT
UCB: Unlikely
UCSD: Maybe
UCSB: In</p>

5

<p>dont worry so much…i got in and im pretty similar and not a legacy or anything and im poor!</p>

6

<p>Don’t stress. SD and SB are likelies. You have a chance at stanfors and Berk. Did you try anything else?</p>

7

<p>@kjyj: You got in because you were a Native American.</p>

<p>This applicant is an Asian American, an over-represented minority.</p>

<p>I stand by my chancings.</p>

8

<p>0% at stanford
2% at berkeley
60% at ucsd
100% at ucsb</p>

<p>if you improved SAT to 2100 and wrote a good essay then maybe you can get into cal.</p>

9

<p>Your major is also in a very competitive area, I think</p>

10

<p>Sorry, but most Asians who get into Stanford have at least 2200s on their SAT with around 3.9 uw GPA. If not, he/she would need to have really good ECs or awards, which you don’t.</p>

<p>However, your chances at UCSD and UCSB are decent</p>
