<p>Forgot to say that I’m from Washington State.</p>

<p>Also, for academics, I’m attempting to receive an IB diploma</p>

<p>in your essays, talk a lot about your involvement in the newspaper because your other extra cirrics are somewhat cliche</p>

<p>but you have a great chance at UCLA. </p>

<p>stanford - a far rearch</p>

<p>Thanks for the input</p>

<p>Your location will help, but I’d get your SAT at least 2250+.</p>

<p>What schools will my location help with? Besides UW, I understand that one.</p>

<p>And for the SAT scores, what colleges would I need to do that for? Just Stanford and Duke? Or do you think others as well?</p>

<p>High reach for Stanford, low reach for Duke, and match for LA, I think.</p>

<p>Again, thanks for the help</p>
