<p>Stanford is definitely a reach. Is it too late to retake the SAT? I feel like your verbal is a pretty glaring negative --write a great essay!
Berkeley and LA are possible, I guess I'd call them a slight reach. The rest are matches. I think you should add something like UCD or UCI as a safety.</p>

<p>a year ago, i was in almost the same situation as you, i applied to stanford with similar stats, and was rejected straight out
i would just like to say that your ECs are awesome, but i don't think a 600V will cut it for stanford.
i would say you might have 20% at stanford
but i wish you the best of luck hopefully you'll get in and prove me wrong that SAT isn't everything</p>

<p>BUMP!!</p>

<p>I just want to know chances at Stanford, UCB, UCLA.</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA:match
Stanford: reach</p>

<p>Stanford is a reach. You're in at USC. Don't know about the UCs.</p>

11

<p>Looks my percentages at Stanford is under 10% :/</p>

<p>And also other privates, such as Cal Tech, Harvey Mudd, Columbia?</p>

12

<p>Umm. BUMP?</p>

13

<p>Harvey Mudd: Reach, Even with high math and science scores, you have no EC's to support it. </p>

<p>Caltech: Reach</p>

<p>Columbia: Reach</p>

<p>lol im new and all, but you can't post like that on someone else's thread dude, anyway, my sister goes to uc berkeley, and i know a lot of people who got in in-state who currently go there, and i think you should be good to go for cal and ucla because of the in-state adv, stanford, columbia, and caltech on the other hand i dunno, seems like you'd need a lot of luck...but i would like to point out that caltech usually has the highest cumulative SAT scores of any school in the nation...</p>
