CHANCES FOR UCs, Cornell, and Northwestern (WILL CHANCE BACK!!!)

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi I'm new to College Confidential, and as an incoming senior I am wondering what my realistic chances are for UCLA and UCB in state, and Cornell/Northwestern:
GPA: UW 4.0, W 4.55 uncapped
Rank: Top 5-10%, definitely among top 50 out of 500ish
SAT: 780 CR, 660 M (low I know, I will retake), 800 W
SAT IIs: Math 2 740, USH 760
APs: USH (5), AP Lang/Comp (5), Psych (5), AP Gov, AP Micro Econ, AP Lit, AP Calc, AP Stats
ACT: 31 (will not send)
Prospective Major: Statistics or Economics</p>

<p>ECs:
-President of Model United Nations for 2 years, member for 1 year prior
-Lifetime member of CSF
-100+ hours volunteering at cat shelter
-4 years of paid tutoring
-Member of San Mateo Youth Legislative Committee (helped endorse/pass bills that affected the area and endorsed a bill that affects UC and CSU campuses.
-Summer internship at consulting firm
-2 (maybe 3) years of lacrosse (Helped my mom actually found the team, but didn't play junior year due to injury)</p>

<p>Awards/Honors (nothing special...) :
-Principle's List
-AG/Calc "Hall of Fame" for perfect score on final exam along with only 4 other students in the past 10 years
-AP Scholar</p>

<p>Letters of Rec from will be strong.</p>

<p>Plan to write about absent father and overcoming my anger with him in order to forgive and become a better person, and how I overcame depression.</p>

<p>Don’t even try cornell
UCLA easy
Northwestern high reach</p>

3

<p>Okay @lellywang how about Berkeley?</p>

4

<p>Berkeley middle reach </p>

5

<p>Do not listen to ^^^. Go Cornell Dyson. SAT is 2240. I think if you go Cornell ED you it should be a low reach. Northwestern is also low-mid reach. ED will significantly help.
UCLA- match
UCB- high match</p>

<p>Thanks! @lacoste</p>

7

<p>oh also the first time I took the SAT I received a 680 M, so I have a 2260 SAT for Cornell/ Northwestern</p>

8

<p>You don’t need to retake the SAt. Instead, use that time to make your essays perfect. Your ecs may be a little weak, but UCLA and Berkeley will be matches/ high matches. You should ED at Cornell. Chance back please?</p>

9

<p>@DreamOn won’t a 660/680 math be too low for a statistics major?</p>

10

<p>I definitely say apply to Cornell too! You have great SAT and GPA and ECs! Cornell is probably a Low-Mid Reach, and California schools high/mid matches. Northwestern is low-mid reach too</p>

11

<p>Thanks @Abbybee23. Would you say that UC Davis would be a low match/high safety?</p>

12

<p>Definitely Low Match/High Safety!</p>

13

<p>Thanks!</p>

14

<p>Also @Abbybee23 do you think that Carnegie Mellon would be a match? A step parent is an alum and has good connections there so I feel like that garners a boost</p>

15

<p>I dorm know if it matters, but if you want to retake math in particular, you should try to get your math 2 score to 800 instead. </p>

16

<p>alright thanks</p>
