<p>You're sure to get into many. You should be a shoo in at the UK schools since they are totally numbers driven. Who knows at top US schools, you're in the pool, but Asian hurts as does no stand out ECs.</p>

3

<p>I'm almost positive you will get in somewhere great.</p>

4

<p>"i'm really worried..."? if you seriously don't think you can get into 3/4 of the schools you listed, then i dont know what to tell you...</p>

5

<p>wow, these comments are surprising. </p>

<p>everyone at school is like "dude theres no way you can get in anywhere but like UCLA tops."</p>

<p>and it's not that UC's suck....they're just too close to home for me.</p>

<p>but wow, thanks for the support</p>

<p>um
im pretty sure ur gonna get into one of the school dont worry buddy. in fact, its kinda surprising that you need to post something to figure that out</p>

<p>You can only apply for one of Oxford and Cambridge in any particular year, unless you want to take up the organ and apply to be an Organ Scholar.</p>

<p>What they are looking for is people who have great enthusiasm and potential for the subject(s) they want to study, rather than being numbers driven. All decent numbers will do is help to get you over the initial hurdle of being invited to an interview. Then there will be academic interviews and (in some subjects) written tests where you would be competing against lots of other people who will mostly have very similar numbers.</p>
