<p>you should feel embarrased. no one in their right mind would be worried about the admissions process with stats like yours. of course, there is always the chance of being rejected at some of those schools, but you'll get into a lot of them.</p>

<p>You shouldn't feel embarrassed at all for posting a chances question in the chances board. You have a good shot everwhere, good luck! You'll definitely get offered regent's at UCB.</p>

<p>you're probably right birth, its just scores dont really mean anything anymore, especially at the schools im applying to. im wondering if my ECs are strong enough.</p>

<p>I know you! Don't you live in the red house on 4th Avenue?
... Just joking. I know, I have a weird sense of humor.
Don't worry. Your grades and resume are excellent. The go thing is really cool :) You'll get into most of your schools, I bet. Good luck.</p>

<p>yep you sure have a lot to be insecure about (sarcasm)... are you kidding me? Your credentials are so good they make me sick to my stomach.</p>

<p>Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. You're in the best place you could be right now, but your race and geographic location don't really help you. If your personality really shines through essays/interviews, you have a pretty good shot at getting in to most of those schools. </p>

<p>You retook after a 2360? Jeez...</p>

<p>nah. i got a 2260 (690CR 800M 770W) and i knew i could do better on CR... took it again and got (800CR 760M 800W boo math) so its a 2400 superscore</p>

<p>updates: i got deferred from stanford EA. and i got an 800 in chem.</p>

<p>should i be discouraged?</p>

<p>helloooo quan quan :)</p>

<p>i knew it right off the bat man.</p>

<p>oh shut up -_-; i saw you too.</p>
