<p>I’m pretty certain you will get into all of them, no worries. Your extracurriculars are amazing and your SAT score is phenomenal. USC and UCLA are safety schools for you, and Stanford is a match, at worst. You’ll get into all of them! Trust me. Chance me back please!</p>

<p>^Ummmmm nope. Sorry, but although you have amazing stats (seriously, congrats on that! :)), Stanford is a reach for EVERYBODY, and UCLA and USC can never be safeties, no matter how great you are. </p>

<p>Sorry to be so straightforward, but I’m just being honest. You have an amazing shot at all those schools, but there’s absolutely NO WAY to flat-out predict you’ll get into them all.</p>

<p>Definitely agree with thebeatles, you’re going to be in a competitive pool for Stanford, but it’s still likely that you’ll get rejected from there. They do have acceptance rates in the single digits you know.<br>
Otherwise, very good chances for all of the UCs.</p>
