<p>Hmm.</p>

<p>I can tell you if you applied for all of them, you'd almost definitely get into at least one. But what you have is a whole crapload of little activities, and nothing you did for 4 solid years. That's what colleges like to see, commitment to one thing.</p>

<p>Why has this forum become the chances forum? Most of us here are also high school students who don't really know what they are talking about any more than you do.</p>

<p>Sorry K_Mcmanus07, I don't mean to pick on you specifically. For your activities...they seem pretty solid, but how long have you been doing each? Do you have a three or four-year commitment to most/all of them? Of course you know that most of your schools are reaches, and your SAT scores are a little on the low side for these reaches. Otherwise, everything looks good, I think.</p>

<p>UCB: Match
