<p>good test scores, but ECs are a bit low, specifically leadership. I'd say in or match at all but Stanford, Stanford's a reach for everybody.</p>

<p>You have a great shot at most of the colleges on the list (sans USC and Stanford, which like cordersare are reaces for anyone). You're lucky that you're native to Cali, that will really help your chances. I have heard more than my fair share of miracle stories of California kids with 1600's getting in just because 90+% of accepted applicants to the UC colleges are in state students. </p>

<p>I applied to USC too, good luck!</p>

5

<p>in at everywhere except maybe cal and stanford</p>

<p>bump. Hoping to get a few more responses. Thanks everyone for your input so far.</p>

7

<p>I think you're a shoo in for all but Stanford.</p>

<p>Unbelievable stats. Weighted GPA could be higher, but who's going to argue w/ a 2320 and 3 800 SAT II's?</p>

<p>Your EC's are only okay, though. To break into that top tier of Stanford, most applicants are stronger in that category.</p>

<p>But still, you have some pretty nice stats. Good job and best of luck!!</p>

<p>UCB - slight reach/match
UCLA - match
UCSD - match/safety
UCI - safety
UCSB - safety
USC - match
Stanford - slight reach/reach</p>

<p>Could you please chance me?
