Chances? Lots of state schools and some private

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey guys, I'm just wondering my chances on the following schools for Economics/Finance:</p>

<p>I applied early/only deadline to the following:
UC-Berkeley
UCLA
UVA (considered in-state)
UNC Chapel Hill
U-Michigan (visited campus)
Georgetown (interview went great, visited campus)
Notre Dame (visited campus)
USC</p>

<p>Applying RD to the following if i'm not accepted to the above:
Emory (visited campus)
NYU
Northwestern (I know, a long shot)</p>

<p>Here are my stats:
White male, low-middle income, divorced parents, parent I live with did not go to 4-year Uni and is from Germany</p>

<p>UW GPA: 3.88, Weighted: 4.25 (got 1 B freshman and sophomore year)
SAT: 2130 (740 reading, 720 math, 670 writing (idk what happened, whatever))
ACT: 32 (30 English, 33 Math, 32 Science, 32 Reading)
APs: Psychology (5), AP Calculus BC (5 and 5), AP English Lang (5), APUSH (5), AP Human Geography (5) and AP Government (5). I have sent these AP scores to all of my colleges as I feel they could really help. Also note, I never took AP Psychology, I self-studied</p>

<p>ECs:
Founder and President of Young Democrats of America high school chapter
Co-Founder and Secretary General of my school's Model UN
Active NHS member (around 250-300 volunteer hours)
Mu Alpha Theta (not very active)
Math Academy with a financial internship at ALCOA (Multinational corporation, spend lots of time there)
Wrestling freshman and sophomore year, doctor said I couldn't continue
High school Ice Hockey team-manager
I tried to stay focused on a few ECs and not just create a laundry-list</p>

<p>Awards/Recognition:
AP Scholar with Distinction (one 4 or 5 away from National AP scholar)
National Merit Commended
German National Honor Society</p>

<p>Was one of 88 students throughout the state elected to study at a state university for a month; studied Econ, Poli Sci and Chinese</p>

<p>I hope to have the opportunity of being accepted to at least 3 of these Unis so I have a choice, think that will happen? </p>

<p>I will chance back!
Thanks</p>

Removed UCB and UCLA
Added UCL (University College London)</p>

<p>I think you’ve got a good shot at all your schools - it’s good that you focused on a couple ECs rather than doing a bunch shallowly.</p>
