<p>Thanks both of you for your input, I hope you guys are right! I will chance back right now :slight_smile: Anyone’s thoughts on my chances for JHU, NYU, or other colleges they think would be a good fit for me? All constructive feedback is appreciated.</p>

<p>I agree you should be in… Maybe try for UCLA or UCB?</p>

<p>Thanks for the chance! Just looking at UCSD’s median sat scores, yours are a good 200 points above their 75th percentile…maybe you should aim for, as kdswish said, ucla or ucb? I think you’re a competitive applicant for any of those schools. I also think you have a good shot at NYU, and I would consider JHU a reach. Hope this helps!</p>

<p>UCSD-low match
UCLA-match
UCB-High Match</p>

<p>I think if you write good essays you should be all set. Good luck! Chance? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1544121-chance-duke-ed.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1544121-chance-duke-ed.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>you seem to have good change for ucsd, and I know its always been one of the top schools for anything medical, but it has been falling down the drain the past couple years and idk if you have ever visited the school…shockingly bad. I think that you should go for a more prestigious school like berkley, hopkins, or somewhere where you have less of a change of having to pre-major and graduate in 5-6 years. I have a friend at ucsd who is doing neuroscience and it’s terribly impacted by foreigners</p>

<p>I think for UCSD and UCB you’re pretty good, and decent for UCLA
UCLA is getting a lot more competitive, but you do have outstanding scores, a remarkable gpa, and a good broad array of ECs
Btw, could you chance me?</p>

<p>UCSD is a low match. Berkeley and LA are matches</p>
