<p>Hi so this is my first post on CC
I've looked through countless threads and chances on this thread the past few years, and I'm now an incoming HS senior.
I'm particularly interested in Stanford, Mudd, GIT, and UCSD as I'm currently applying to these as my top schools.</p>

<p>You should consider retaking the SAT. Your ECs are decent, but could be better.
Stanford- high reach
UCSD-match
Mudd- high match
Have you considered Berkeley? It’s known for engineering, but it would be a low reach for you since it focuses a lot on academics.
Please chance back: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1672761-chance-me-for-stanford-university.html”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1672761-chance-me-for-stanford-university.html</a></p>
<p>Hi! You might wanna consider taking the SAT for a 2200+ to be competitive with applicants for top schools like stanford.
Stanford- high reach, you’ll need stronger extracurrics
UCSD- match
Mudd- low reach
Georgia- high match
Good luck and chance me back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1673832-will-chance-back-chance-me-for-cmc-barnard-bryn-mawr-columbia-stanford-cornell-umich-stern.html#latest”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1673832-will-chance-back-chance-me-for-cmc-barnard-bryn-mawr-columbia-stanford-cornell-umich-stern.html#latest</a></p>
<p>Also you should consider berkeley but they’ll want strong ECs as well</p>
<p>Thanks! Also I meant to include Berkeley as one of my top colleges, I must’ve accidentally forgot to mention it</p>
<p>On other note, would class rank also be a large factor in any of my applications?
I go to a relatively large school where i am ranked 11 out of a graduating class of 650+</p>
<p>Yes, definitely! @Redliquid </p>
<p>Your current score almost definitely precludes you from getting into Stanford. Having said that, it comes down to your essays and EC’s (which are not really jumping out of the page either). I would say you’re a match for Harvey Mudd and UCSD.</p>
<p>^I agree. I will say though, that your gpa is on the lower end for Stanford and ur ECs are a bit mundane. UCSD is a match for you, but you may want to do an internship or make sure ur ECs correlate with ur prospective major </p>
