<p>I think uou have an excellent chance at the UC's (ur instate), but Columbia it might be hard considering your a ORM. You'd probably get into Cornell,too. Did you apply anywhere EA/ED?</p>

3

<p>I got into Cornell with similar stats..except my scores were much closer on the SAT, 720 math and 730 verbal...I also had less EC's.</p>

<p>esahopeful95, what is ORM???</p>

<p>And no I didn't apply anywhere early, hehe. i seriously don't really have intentions of going out of state but my parents just want me to see what I can achieve. my sis got into MIT, she is a freshman, but i just want to stay close to home :)</p>

<p>Its kinda of weird that all you school have a c word in them. A lot of your schools are famous more for math/science, but your math scores vs. your verbal scores say you are not majoring in either. I am just curious, but what is your intended major?</p>

6

<p>I wouldn't say UC's are particularly known for math/science, I think they are pretty good all around...</p>

<p>Columbia I know is very good at journalism...</p>

<p>Anyway, I want to major in Communications or something of the like. Do you think I will get into UCLA, syntheticangel?</p>

7

<p>omg! i have very very similar stats and im applying to similar schools!
i got 710 V 740 M: 1450
680 writing,690 physics 700 bio 720 math IIC
4's and 5's on aps

Good Luck!!</p>
