<p>I NEED YOUR HELP! PLEASE HELP HELP HELP HELP
also looking into:
UCLA
UPENN
STANFORD
BERKELY
NYU</p>

<p>I assume you're a CA resident? But even if you are, I'd say you're reaching for all your schools except USC. USC is a match to slight reach.</p>

<p>I think you can get into USC and NYU, but the rest no.</p>

<p>THank you guys so much for your comments. greatly appreciated.
I am a californian resident.
i am also a board member for habitat for humanitiy and active member of relay for life.
What is it that i need to improve? or start? or quit? WAH</p>

<p>I think that your ECs aren't that bad. You could do a little more. Maybe establish a major passion. But your grades and your SAT scores aren't very good.</p>

<p>I agree that most of your desired schools are reaches. I don't know how USC will be though.</p>

<p>bump? whatever that means. please keep them coming. bumpity bump bump, bump bump. bumpity bump bump, bump bump</p>
