<p>What are my chances for UCLA, UCB, UCI, UCSD, UCSB, UCD, USC, Stanford? Also, do I have any chances at an Ivy league school and any other match schools?</p>

<p>Um your GPA and ECs are great. Courseload is good as well. However, you really need to work on your SAT I and SAT II scores. If you feel as if you can’t do better on the SAT I, take the ACT, since according to CB, your score only increases by a combined 50 points.
I’d say that UCB, UCLA and Stanford are reaches because of your SAT scores; the rest should be target schools. I don’t think you’d have much of a chance at the Ivies though, since I’ve heard that most people who apply there have stellar stats.
Chance me please? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/974360-chance-uc-colleges-special-case.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/974360-chance-uc-colleges-special-case.html</a></p>
<p>bumpp should i bother for ivys</p>
<p>If your parents can afford it, why not? I hope you won’t base a decision to apply for a school on what these people say.</p>
<p>I think post #3 must have missed that you scored a 33 on the ACT already. Yes, a 33 on the ACT is very good and do send that.</p>
<p>would my 33 act + my gpa make me competitive for the top tier uc’s, usc, and some ivys?</p>
<p>yeah, definitaly send to ivys, when people tell you not to, its because they didnt get in, so they think why should you</p>
<p>Some notes on the GPA figures to clarify the above:
The UC GPA figures are the weighted “UC GPA” while USC uses an unweighted GPA for their admissions reports.</p>
<p>For USC, the admissions results for 2010 admitted students were:</p>
<p>Unweghted GPA: 3.8
ACT Composite Middle 50%: 30-33
SAT CR Middle 50%: 640-740
SAT Math Middle 50%: 680-770
SAT Writing Middle 50%: 660-760</p>

<p>My post #11 was in response to a post that has since been deleted. Still might be useful information, though :)</p>
<p>I’m at USC right now, and based from my own experience and the experiences off my peers, I would say that you’re borderline for USC. It depends on your ECs at this point, which really does amount for a lot at our college, I do believe, and your SATs.</p>
<p>Edit: I did miss that you got a 33 on the ACT already. I amend what I said about SAT scores, though it can never hurt to keep retaking the test just to improve your score.</p>
<p>@poirotsfriend what were your stats when you got into usc?</p>
<p>Oh i also found out im elc since im in top 3%</p>
<p>Congratulations! Guaranteed this year: UCSB, UCD, UCI, UCM, UCR. Be sure to apply to at least one of those.</p>
<p>how did you find out which are guaranteed already?</p>
<p>I can’t find a way to post a link, but it was in a UC high-school counselor’s conference power point presentation titled COUNSELING ESSENTIALS FOR HIGH SCHOOL COLLEGE ADVISORS. Try a google search for it. Tonight it gives a “broken link” message, so it either was disabled or just isn’t working tonight.</p>
<p>Which campus are you most interested in?</p>
<p>well im most interested for the top uc’s but idk about my chances for them</p>
<p>if you are ELC, then you have guaranteed acceptance to UCD, UCI, and UCSB (as well as UCR and UCM)</p>
