Chances for USC, CAL, UCLA, NW...

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey everyone. I would appreciate it if you guys can give me your opinions about my chances at the schools I'm applying to. The schools are...</p>

<p>Cal, UCLA, UCSD, UCSB, USC, Northwestern, Cornell, Rice, Swarthmore, and Carnegie Mellon</p>

<p>I plan to major in Electrical Engineering.</p>

<p>Here are my stats.</p>

<p>I'm an Asian male living in California and I am the first of my siblings to attend college</p>

<p>GPA: 4.35 (UC Weighted) 4.00 (UC non-weighted). I got a B in freshmen biology though...
SAT I: M:750 CR:660 W:690 Total: 2100
SAT II: Math IIC: 790 Physics: 730 Chemistry: 700
AP's: I took 3 AP's as a junior (chemistry, physics, art history) and I self-studied for calculus. The scores I got are: Chemistry: 5, Physic B: 5, Calculus AB: 5, Art History: 2 =(. For my senior year, I'm taking AP Lit and Comp, AP Calc BC, AP Stats, and AP German. This time I plan to self-study for physics C because my school doesn't offer it.
Rank: 32/550 (Top 6%)</p>

<p>ECs:
I'm involved in a lot of typical EC's as club as club member and stuff. The most notable ones are:
Vice President of Model United Nations
President of Physics Department in School Science Club
Lead Singer of a High School Rock Band
Captain of Intermural Basketball Team
150 Community Service Hours as an Audio/Video Technician for a Children's Choir
Former Small Group Leader and Music Worship Leader at a Church Group</p>

<p>Thanks for the help everyone :).</p>

<p>Bump.........</p>

<p>Okay,</p>

<p>Class rank is a little low for NW, Cornell, Rice, and CMU, as most applicants are realistically well in the top 5%. 1410 SAT is at the 50% for NW and Cornell, above CMU, and a little below for Rice. I'd say decent shot (slight reach) at all of those schools, with CMU your greatest chance. Someone else can talk bout the rest.</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA/USC Match</p>

<p>Cornell: Slight Reach (almost match)</p>

6

<p>Yeah those were my projections initially too. Do you guys think the 2 in Art History is going to hurt me though?</p>

7

<p>Are AP scores even important?</p>

8

<p>I hate to do this but bump....</p>

9

<p>Your SAT score is a bit average (if not low) for Cornell's engineering</p>

<p>don't let that discourage you. try to nail a good essay, you're on the borderline.</p>

10

<p>Cornell likes to see "700+" on all</p>

<p>my friend got into Cornell with 770 math, 730verbal, 750 writing</p>

<p>you're very close though</p>

11

<p>Is Cornell's engineering even something to consider above Berkeley's? I'm planning to do EECS/EE and Berkeley is like ranked 3 in that.</p>

12

<p>anyone...?</p>

13

<p>I just found out that I put an honor/award wrong on my UC application. Instead of "California Scholarship Federation" I put "California State Federation". Would they reject me because of this? I'm trying to contact them but for some reason I can't find information anywhere.</p>

14

<p>go to berkeley
that is if u dont mind huge classes</p>

15

<p>I'm so scared. Do you guys think they'll think that I'm lying.</p>

16

<p>secessionist!</p>

17

<p>What.....?</p>

18

<p>So I just mailed the UC's so hopefully everything will be taken care of.</p>
