<p>You seem to have listed many minor activities such as drawing and painting, piano without awards, perfect attendance, GATE programs - aren't those for elementary school kids?</p>

<p>Pepperdine/UCSD - match</p>

4

<p>UCB: Slight reach
UCLA: Match</p>

<p>haha bonne fol-
that was harsh. but yea, i guess that is true.
i jsut wanted to put everything in. i guess, i didnt want those to just slip away.
i did put major activities with those minor ones tho.
those minor ones were for the back-ups.
thanks for your opinion tho.</p>

<p>mechrocket- even though that seems sooo, if not too, hopeful to me (haha), im glad i got at least one person thinking that. thanks :]</p>

<p>"Pepperdine/UCSD - match"</p>

<p>what the hell? haha Pepperdine with UCSD? Pepperdine is way way easier to get into than UCSD. UCSD's average GPA for admits is a 4.04, Pepperdine is somewhere around a 3.6 or so. weird. anyways, Pepperdine is actually slightly easier to get into than UCI/UCSB/UCD. bonne foi must be a Pepperdine student. haha. </p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Slight Reach (in-state)
UCSD: Match (in-state)
USC: Match
UCI/UCSB/UCD: Safe Match (in-state)
Pepperdine: Safety
University of the Pacific: dont know about pharmD program. but normal admissions would be a safety.
Cornell: Reach
Brown: Reach
Hopkins Reach</p>

<p>you shouldn't list your computer skills, which seem very... um basic.
but otherwise, you seem like a good candidate</p>
