5. University of Wisconsin--Madison
6. Northeastern University (I have a legacy there--dad, mom, grandfather, and cousin went and graduated from there)

<p>Depending on your SAT scores (if it’s around 2100+) and if that’s your unweighted GPA, then probably all of them except UCSD might be a reach. Don’t stress too much. If you get a 2200+, then you’re making it into all of those schools. Write a nice essay, get some good recs, and also what’s your ethnicity? That could either help/hurt you.
UCs weigh a TON on SAT scores, so… also, what state do you live in? If you don’t live in Cali, you probably have a greater chance, because UCs are accepting more out of state students (because of the higher tuition rates that they have to pay), so you might have an advantage there…</p>

<p>Chance me? I’d appreciate it, thanks (:

<p>I live in Massachusetts. My SATs I am looking at to be 1900-2000. My recs will be amazing (my history teacher is writing one–he is a NYU and Columbia U. grad, and he typically writes 5-6 pages per rec, especially if you do Mock Trial and Debate for him, which I do). I am white, but am 1st generation college student. My mom is an immigrant from Brasil, and my grandparents immigrated from Portugal.</p>

<p>wouldn’t ur mom being from brasil make u hispanic?</p>

<p>That’s what my mom is telling me to put on my application. My grandparents are from Portugal, so we are all Portuguese. She just happens to have been born in Brasil. </p>

<p>What are my chances?</p>
