I am out of state for UC and domestic for other private universities.
Also, if I raise my scores for December SAT, will I have a better shot? say, 2300?</p>

<p>Oh and another thing. My senior courseload is very rigorous</p>

Columbia Fu-small chance

<p>UCB/UCLA: Match (out of state, Engineering)
UCSD: Safe Match (out of state, Engineering)
UCI/UCD: Super Safety (out of state)</p>

<p>dude, you are clearly very smart and would be able to handle the curriculum at many colleges, but these days it just seems that smart dosent cut it. people who are probably just as smart as you find ways to out name-brand things on their apps. That means one of two things: either they have genuine interest in things and will do anything that to satisfy their desiries or the people who know they can just use it to slap on their college app. Unfortunately, colleges can;t tell all the time which is which. So, that said, ur shot at Stanford isnt too high, tho u are mos def smart enuf, same goes with MIT. But you should get into the UC"S.</p>

<p>Ultimately, you are smart, and thatll be there regardless of where you go. The best you can do now is write honest, meaningful essays and hope for the best.</p>

<p>50 percent shot at columbia fu, most likely in at cornell.
good luck~</p>

<p>Asian male from CA with not great ECs and just OK (for ivy) SATs, all but the UCs and maybe Cornell are big reaches.</p>
