<p>My extracurrics are pretty weak, I think. And I really slipped up on those science APs.</p>

<p>So what are my chances for Berkeley, LA, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Stanford?</p>

<p>Thanks guys. =D</p>

<p>These are some pretty nice qualifications you have here. Extracurriculars are a bit lacking, but otherwise, everything is outstanding.</p>

<p>UC Berkeley-match
UCLA-match
HYPS-reach for everyone(reach at worst, slight reach at best)</p>

<p>Thanks. Yeah, I figured as much for HYPS. I'm not even sure why I asked. Didn't want my list to be too empty, I suppose.</p>

4

<p>hmmm cream, i like cream cheese...</p>

<p>any who, by the looks of it, your extra curriculars are rather less than appetizing. </p>

<p>But all in all, id say you got yourself some matches.</p>
