<p>Thanks a bunch!</p>

<p>You’ve got great shot at all of them. LA and B get stacks of applicants with stellar stats. Honestly they could go either way.</p>

<p>In reviewing your academic credentials and looking at your interests…if you haven’t already applied to Stanford or Caltech or Harvey Mudd in the EARLY round…I would strongly urge you to add one or all three of these schools in the regular round…especially if you are from California…</p>

<p>…depending on the strengths of your ECs (with limited information here) and your essays and recommendations…you may actually have better chance to get into Caltech or Harvey Mudd since they are “more” holistic than either Berkeley and UCLA…over the years I have seen kids from California get into Caltech/Harvey Mudd get rejected from Berkeley…especially applying for engineering slots…</p>

<p>…Stanford would be the biggest reach…but you do have the academic credentials to try…especially since you live so close and you only live once…</p>

<p>…good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks for the input/advice! I’ll definitely look into that.</p>
