<p>Chances?</p>

<p>I think you’ll have a pretty good shot at Berkeley. Are you low-income or first-generation? That would help at Stanford and MIT.</p>

3

<p>Your uc gpa is low. It’s lower than berk’s average gpa. Stanford chance is low. As another Asian applying to MiT your chance is once again low</p>

4

<p>idk what my income is but i know im not first generation do i have a chance at upenn for wharton oh and im actually indian so idk if thats asian or not</p>

5

<p>bump 10 char</p>

6

<p>Wharton’s admission %age is lower than MIT’s.</p>

7

<p>Unfortunately we Indians are in the same boat as Asians. Ehhh, you’re stats aren’t great bro.</p>

8

<p>MIT and Stanford are verrrry high reaches for you. You’ve got a decent profile, but considering the quality of applicant’s they receive, I can’t think of one reason why they would accept you.</p>

<p>Sorry to be harsh, but it’s a tough world!</p>

9

<p>Bump What else do i need to do to get in</p>

10

<p>It’s a bit late at this point. More interesting/committed ECs, any real-world experience, some prestigious awards.</p>

11

<p>^Err, unless you do something really significant like win a bunch of awards, you won’t really have a good shot at MIT or Stanford. Admitted applicants to those schools build up sparkling applications over their entire high school career. You have a pretty good shot at Berkeley, though. Just get your SAT/ACT scores a bit higher.</p>

12

<p>Even Penn CAS %age is lower than MIT’s</p>

13

<p>The scores are quite low for both Stanford and MIT. It is surprising to see the scores all over the place for SAT and ACT where your math is 710 in one place and 36 in the other, science of 25 while you have a Bio of 770. Stanford turned down someone with 2400, 36, 800, 800 and ranked number 1 and he is not even Asian.</p>

14

<p>Lol i kno i was rly surprised with my english scores for act and sat too but its true so i think i can raise both scores by a lot and i might start a club also</p>

15

<p>bump hy guys i got my sat and act score bak i got 31 on act (35 math 34 english 31 reading and 25 science) and 770 on chem 730 on ush and 720 on math II do i have beter chances now?</p>
