<p>my brother is applying to college this fall, and he does not know what schools he has a realistic shot at... these are his stats.</p>
<p>white, male, middle-class, california resident
SAT I: CR-750, math-710, writing-670 TOTAL = 2130
SAT II: math level 2-780, lit.-640, physics-790
AP's: 5 on physics B; 5 on computer science
GPA: 3.97 uw, 4.5 w
Rank: #6 of 237
EC's/Clubs: volunteering at senior center for 100+ hours, varsity swimming for 2 years, karate for 5 years (won some awards...), CSF, interact club, usher, honor roll throughout high school.</p>
<p>his focus is on physics, and i think his numbers are impressive in that sense...but what are his chances at UCB, UCD, and cal poly? </p>
<p>also, two of our older brothers are stanford grads... does this connection improve a person's chances whatsoever? just wondering!</p>
