<p>upenn - high reach
gtown and uva - mid reach
nyu, w&m, ucla, mcgill - match</p>
<p>Your ECs are all over the place - don’t really show that you have an interest in business. If you can strengthen those, you may increase your chances. Also, you SAT/ACT score is too low to be competitive at schools such as Penn. You didn’t share your courses, but make sure your rigor is high. Good luck!</p>
<p>Chance back?

<p>Don’t worry about your EC’s being all over the place. You want to go into business, but being good at sports definitely isn’t a bad thing. I think your EC’s are good. It’s hard to tell without unweighted GPA as well. The glaring errors I see are your test scores… the 27 and the 1960 make it almost impossible for you to get into schools like Penn and Georgetown. If you can raise either, you’ll significantly increase your chances. I think UPenn especially and Georgetown are (very) high reaches as they are for everyone, even if you raise your scores significantly. NYU, UVA, UCLA are still reaches, again even if you raise your score. McGill is a match, W&M is a high match.</p>
<p>My course load from jr year was: AP Psych, AP French, APUSH, HN English, HN Physics, HN Precalc, Leadership
and for Sr year: AP Gov, AP Calc AB, AP Enviro, AP Microeconomics, AP Macroeconomics, HN English, Fashion 2, Leadership</p>
<p>The UC’s do not provide need based financial aid to OOS students. Your stats are too low for merit based scholarships.</p>
<p>Stop worrying about chances, and spend time doing everything you can to improve your application. My advice:
- Take ACT in September and score at least 33+, and SAT Math II in October, and score 760-800.
- Have a perfect GPA senior year.
- If you are more interested in the public schools/financial aid, spend less time on your extracurriculars and more on academics. </p>
<p>OP’s academics could be perfect, but even then, the UC’s wouldn’t provide need-based aid to OOS students.</p>
