<p>So what are my chances? This is target school.</p>
<p>What are your AP Scores? You do have a great list of ECs and I also see that you have some strong leadership as well. Your school also seems quite competitive. The only problem could be the UW GPA, but I don’t see that harming you TOO much.</p>
<p>I am going to place UCSB as a good chance (Mid Match) for you. Good luck.</p>

[<em>]Figure out what the UC GPA is.
[</em>]Your ACT score is about average, so if you want to retake it or try the SAT then go for it. Definitely take your time and study for it.
[*]Overall you seems like a student that stands out, so just make sure your essays convey the same thing. Assuming you have a high UC GPA, I would say you have a very high chance. [/ul]</p>
<p>All you are doing now is running around here like a chicken with your head cut off. Stop, because what is done is done. You did a very good job of applying to a variety of schools. Now what you have to do is simply wait and see where it all shakes out and PLEASE try to enjoy the end of your senior year. You have passion and brains, you will truly bloom wherever you go. Stop worrying!<br>
However, when it comes to the UC system, it is not acceptances that matter (I suspect you will have some) but rather how you are going to pay for it. OOS tuition for UCs is pricy and there is basically no OOS financial aid, so if you can’t pay, I’d recommend you focus your efforts on schools that will give you some significant merit and/or financial aid. Good luck!</p>
<p>Dull Pencil–OP posted the exact same post on quite a few UC boards and similar on several other colleges, so you are not losing your mind. Senior year freak out is understandable, it is such a stressful time!</p>
