Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey there.</p>

<p>I'm a senior, planning on applying to Northeastern University, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, UMass Amherst and U of Michigan, among others. I wanted to know my chances for getting in.</p>

<p>Caucasian, both my parents graduated college
Major: Engineering Undeclared
GPA: 4.1 W, 3.85 UW
5 on Calc AB AP, taking Psychology AP, Physics 1 AP, Calc BC AP
ACT: 34 Comp, 31 Math, 35 English, 35 Science
Class Rank: Top 25%</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
85 Hours service
Costa Rica Service Immersion (paid for by me)
Worked on Vineyard as landscaper (to pay for above)
Club Volleyball (ranked 24th out of all 16-yr-olds team in nation in 2013)
Volleyball Team Manager (sports are ridiculously competitive at my school, so I tried out but never made a team)
Internship in District Office of Assemblymember Robert Wieckowski
Outdoor Volleyball Club member
I'm on Financial Aid, so I do 20 hours of Work Grant a year.
My brother has Bipolar disorder, so that's taken away from my ability to participate in as many EC's as I'd have liked to.</p>

<p>My highschool is known for its Academic rigor, with regular classes often surpassing Honors/AP classes in other schools in difficulty. </p>

<p>Thanks a bunch for any advice you can give!</p>

<p>The UCs are full fee unless you are a California resident? So if you are OOS for California, you are looking at $55k-$60k per year since there is no financial aid for OOS residents. You can get in with that ACT score of 34 at Santa Barbara but San Diego engineering will be competitive.</p>

<p>I live in California. Also, thanks for the input on my UC chances.</p>

<p>Then UMich would have the same problem… It is $55k/yr and there is little aid for oos unless you are from very low income family. Your GPA is below the admission average of UMich CoE (3.9) and your ACT is right at the 75% (assuming it is the same as last 2 years). UMich put emphasis on GPA. It would be a low reach for as the admission rate has dipped into 20%.</p>

<p>Thanks. I’d still like to go to UMich, so I’ll apply with consideration to the fact that I won’t get much financial aid if I do get in.</p>

<p>Does anyone have input on Northeastern University? It’s my first choice at the moment.</p>
