School doesn't rank, but I'm easily in the top 5% out of 450.
The school's somewhat competitive. We had 6 people get into Stanford this year; a dozen or so more got into MIT, Harvard,etc.; at least 30 in Ivy leagues and at least 60 or so in UC Berkeley.</p>

<p>I appreciate your honest comments. Be brutally honest, not just brutal. =)</p>

2

<p>You're as close as one can get to academic perfection. I'd say you have strong chances everywhere....but, what do I know?</p>

3

<p>Strong academics but a bit generic ECs. I wouldn't go so far as to call UCLA and UCB as safeties (stronger people have been rejected. Strange things happen in frosh admissions.) But if you focus on your personal statements and actually show a hint of wanting to attend, you should be fine.</p>

4

<p>people like you annoy me.... average? thats just annoying</p>

5

<p>honestly... 1600/ 2390... 16 effing 00...</p>

6

<p>clearly you're below average ....psh.</p>

7

<p>...
could you tell me my chances for those medical or business programs?</p>

<p>Although I would be considered a decent student in real life, I believe I am somewhat of a mediocrity college admission-wise on CC.</p>

8

<p>do you want your chances</p>

<p>or people to say how good you are, etc.</p>

<p>and 4.0 uw isnt normal
hm u must go to an easy school</p>

9

<p>TELL ME MY CHANCES!!!! Those programs are highly competitive and difficult to get in, which is why I want to know my chances.</p>

10

<p>you're going to get in you dumbass</p>

<p>you know that u have good chance, but nothing is certain</p>

<p>throw us a ****ing bone here.
ok you have a 86.5% chance.</p>

11

<p>....
If only I could delete your useless comments. I guess you've never heard of these programs before, but most require over 2250 on the sat just to apply.</p>

12

<p>yeah so basically everyone that applies is really smart and its not luck so to speak, but well you cant always predict it.</p>

<p>you don't know what iver heard of you dumbass.
sorry nobody is wasting his/her time on you.</p>

13

<p>why are you applying to wharton and med programs?</p>

14

<p>Even though it would be nice if I know exactly what I want to do for a career and with my life, I am only 17 and I do not exactly know what I want. Both careers sound good, and I am somewhat interested in both. Medicine means a pretty solid paycheck and decent quality of life. I-banking sounds like a dynamic career path, but I worry if I have what it takes to make it big on wall street. There are plenty of washed up analysts in their 40s.</p>

15

<p>your parents must be the ones driving you; you say you don't know what you want but you want to get into 7 year med programs?</p>

16

<p>not really. My parents are pretty chill about college. "Just do whatever you will be happy with", but I seriously have no interest in most of majors. Medicine and business are just careers I can imagine myself possibly pursuing. </p>

<p>PLEASE JUST GIVE ME MY CHANCES FOR THESE PROGRAMS instead of f*ing bs.</p>

17

<p>"Medicine and business are just careers I can imagine myself possibly pursuing." </p>

<p>I can relate to that; my parents definitely aren't the reason I work hard, and yet I don't have my heart set on any one career as of yet. and chillll out, buddy. other posters have a right to be a bit annoyed, because - hello. this is collegeconfidential. people come on here to braggggbragbrag. who's to say you aren't fishing for compliments as well? your gpa isn't lacking in the least, and your SAT scores are pretty good... but it won't help you that much to have people post your chances. if you apply to a medical program, your stats will come in handy, and your lackluster (you said to be brutally honest!) ECs won't matter as much. however, if you apply to wharton, you'll definitely need really outstanding extracurrics. did you apply/are you going to lbw?</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Safe Match</p>

19

<p>tahnks for your post and what is lbw?</p>

20

<p>only 4 classes senior year? I would add something... If you're thinking Med. Program, I would really try to nab some kind of Independent study (in biology or something) with a teacher that really likes you. Admission offices looove that kind of stuff</p>
