Chances for UCs, UMichigan, UIUC, a couple of privates. Will chance back if you want

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>GPA: ~3.8 UW (school doesn't give unweighted), 4.77 weighted. I have 7 B's, the rest are A's. Upward trend, but I've gotten at least 1 B all 3 years. All honors and APs.
UC GPA: 4.19 capped
SAT I: 2190 (750 W, 760 M, 680 R) Not sending this in anywhere besides the UC's
SAT II: Math 2: 800, US History: 780
ACT: 35 (35 R, 35 W, 34 M, 34 S, 8 Essay) One sitting
AP Scores: 5 in Calc AB, Statistics, US History, English; 4 in Euro
Senior year: AP Physics, AP Calc BC, AP English IV, AP Economics</p>

<p>Essays: Different, but probably not unique. Above average in quality I guess.
ECs: Not much
Orchestra (1st chair, the only leadership position I have)
Piano
Around 100 hours as a TA for a math class
Math Team
Some honor society I got accepted to this year
No worthwhile awards to note, just a few basic ones</p>

<p>Race: Not African American, Latino, or Native American</p>

<p>Planning on majoring in mathematics, so I won't be applying to any engineering colleges within my schools.</p>

<p>I'm applying to:
UCLA (OOS)
UC Berkeley (OOS)
University of Michigan (OOS)
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
NYU
Northwestern (reach)</p>

<p>I know it's late in the process, but if someone has any schools I should look into I'd appreciate it.</p>

<p>If you want me to chance back just post a link, but be aware that I have no knowledge of how college admissions officers behave beyond what I picked up from lurking here for a couple of months.</p>

<p>I’m not sure how it’s possible to have a 4.77 with 7 B’s… but if the 35 is in one sitting you have a pretty solid app.</p>

<p>High match:
Northwestern</p>

<p>Matches:
UCLA (OOS)
UC Berkeley (OOS)
University of Michigan (OOS)</p>

<p>Semi-safety:
NYU</p>

<p>safety:
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign</p>

<p>Yeah, my school has a pretty weird GPA scale. The highest GPA in my class is over a 5 I think. And the 35 was in one sitting.</p>

<p>Thanks for your time.</p>

4

<p>Yeah I think you are in at all of those schools. For Northwester, even though I still think you will get in, try getting some ECs that really make you stand out. Like you started a club or something. </p>

<p>Chance me if you can <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1421389-final-chances-mccombs-school-business-ut-austin.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1421389-final-chances-mccombs-school-business-ut-austin.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>You have a good shot for all of them I think. I agree that you’d have a better chance with some stand out EC’s but your gpa and scores are pretty spectacular on their own.</p>

<p>Bump</p>

<p>I didn’t think test scores could cover my shaky transcript/extracurriculars, especially at Northwestern</p>

<p>Northwestern - low reach, would be a high match if you had stronger ECs
University of Michigan - match
UC Berkeley - match
UCLA - match
NYU - low match
University of Illinois - safety</p>

<p>It would help ensure admission to all the schools if you try and improve your ECs, as well as gaining some volunteer hours.
The 35 ACT is wonderful! Congratulations!</p>
