chances at upenn, brown, gtown, UCs

<p>I'm a senior attending one of the top public schools in San Diego.
Ethnicity: Iranian American
GPA: 4.0 UW/ 4.55 W
Rank: not sure, because its very competitive over here, but should be top 10%
Have taken or am currently taking 9 APs.
AP Euro History, AP US History, AP Biology: 5
AP Stats, AP Spanish, AP Chem: 4
Also taking 2 college courses (very rigorous courseload)
New SAT: 800CR, 800W, 700M
SAT II: 800 Math IIc, 780 US History, 760 Spanish
Old SAT: 800V, 760M

PSAT: selection index 236.</p>

<p>EC's: Probably weak compared to my competition, won't help me that much.
Essays and Recs: should be solid.</p>

<p>I'm applying to: UPenn (i'm debating ED, will the reach become a sure thing if i do it?)
Brown
Columbia
Yale
Stanford
Harvard (these past 4 are HUGE reaches i think)
Georgetown
Claremont McKenna
UC Berkeley, LA, SB</p>

<p>I appreciate your input. If more info is needed i'll be happy to provide it. Thanks!</p>

<p>Your scores are crazy, and those four schools are huge reaches for anyone. UPenn is a little easier and ED will probably help. I think you're a competitive applicant to any of those places.</p>

<p>thanks a lot, tunetherainbow. Any other opinions would be greatly appreciated as well.</p>

<p>remember HYPS don't care that much about scores.</p>

<p>Brown: slight reach
Columbia/Yale/Stanford/Harvard: reach
Georgetowen: match
Claremont McKenna: match
UCB/UCLA: match
UCSD: safety</p>

<p>thanks guys. stambilar, what about upenn ED and upenn RD?</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Match
UCSD: Safety</p>

<p>Brown- Accepted
Columbia- Accepted
Yale- Rejected
Stanford-Rejected
Harvard (these past 4 are HUGE reaches i think)- Rejected
Georgetown-Accepted
Claremont McKenna- Accepted
UC Berkeley, LA, SB- Accepted to ALL, with money</p>

<p>UPenn ED: slight reach
U Penn RD: slight reach</p>

<p>Obviously the odds are better ED. To be more specific I would say you have 50% ED & 35% RD (obviously just a general estimate). </p>

<p>It's tough to call any Ivy a match, but you are very well qualified and I wouldn't be surprised if you were accepted at one of your slight reaches or big reaches.</p>

<p>Brown- Accepted
Columbia- Accepted
Yale- Rejected
Stanford-Rejected
Harvard-Rejected
Georgetown- Rejected
Claremont McKenna- Accepted
UC Berkeley, LA, SB- Accepted, regent scholar if you live in CA</p>

<p>Congratulations on your great stats!</p>
