<p>i really dont know much. My brother goes to columbia and had similar grades but got a 35 ACT. Also he didnt have many EC or awards. But he had an internship similar to urs. I think u have a fantastic chance based on what my brother did. Try to get up that SAT score maybe. But otherwise great job in school…i wish i had ur resume lol</p>
<p>For columbia, my friend got in early decision. His stats were 4.0 GPA and 2300 SAT… comparing against him, i would say a slight reach but definitely not out of reach…sat II math is low as most people score perfect 800s.</p>
<p>my friend is applying to MIT and Stanford, his stats are 4.0 GPA 2270 SAT 800 SAT II math 800 SAT II Physics.
so you’re competing against people like him…</p>
<p>I disagree a bit, many people get into Columbia with your gpa and sats. For all ivy leagues it’s very blind ended though. I’m a resident of California ( I’m guessing you are too by the UCI research and stuff) and that can be a boost for UCLA. Stanford and MIT rely heavily on gpa and test scores. Many applications without amazing gpas are entirely discarded. There is however that 10% that get in being a URM, athlete, or legacy. Best of luck however, I hope you make it in!!</p>
<p>I think you have a very good shot at UCLA…maybe an outside chance at Columbia, especially with your excellent SAT score, but I agree with one of the above posters, your SAT 2 scores a bit on the lower side, especially for Math…but unless your essays are out of the world, you have very low chance at Stanford and MIT</p>
<p>Your SAT/SAT 2 scores are little low (especially math 2). Columbia, Stanford, and MIT are high reaches, but you should apply. UCLA is a target school and you have a good shot. Best of luck. </p>
<p>You have a good shot at UCLA and the others are reaches (though they are for everyone). Your weighted GPA is a bit underwhelming but your scores seem to be within range. Hopefully your essays and EC’s make you stand out! Good luck.</p>
