cornell, columbia, jhu, and UC berkeley?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I haven't taken SATs yet, but looking at this forum makes me nervous.
2200 PSAT's (I didn't study..so my aim for SATs is 2300)
hopefuly/probably top 6% by the end of jr yr (no rank)
weighted 4.223 freshman + soph year (the valedictorian got 4.6. wtheck...but she's way above everyone else so i guess whatever)
my EC's suck. jv tennis 2 years, varsity tennis 2 yrs...we won team state champs this year...not many clubs but i'm trying to convince my friend to let me take over the Future Physician's Club (a complete joke).. I volunteer at the hospital, work at a doctor's office, tutor..
SATii's: bio 790, chem 740, mathiic ___
CTY in.. summer after 7th and 8th grade? (seriously, who would give a ***** about cty)
I feel like there's nothing that distinguishes me from the rest of the people with my gpa. I'm nowhere near top 10/437 even though i was last year..
about UC berkeley, what are my chances if I live in NJ?<br>
well, I don't know if I want to go there because there are so many damn asians (i'm chinese myself)..which is good/bad but I should worry about getting in first.</p>

<p>also, ba/md programs? (do i have no chance whatsoever?) i obviously want to become a doctor. and fast...heh</p>

<p>i forgot to mention...is cornell the easiest ivy to get into? or do they just really like my school like everyone says... last year or the year before 8/24 ED applicants got accepted. that's pretty good, right?</p>

<p>goddamn i got my PSAT score wrong. it was really a 2110. LOL my mistake...(sigh, there's no way I'm 'smart' enough to get into ivies..)</p>

<p>suggest some colleges for me please. im lost lol..</p>

5

<p>ivy leagues are not about scores.. they are about character</p>

6

<p>although berkeley might be a little hungry for better scores...(out of state)
that one's gonna be hard</p>

7

<p>i think with the sat's and ec's, columbia is going to be a reach, while jhu and cornell as high matches</p>

8

<p>Really random question: Do you go to Don Bosco Prep?</p>

9

<p>nope sorry =)</p>

<p>stillajunior:</p>

<p>UCB: Match (out of state)</p>

11

<p>I think you have an "okay" chance everywhere. Make sure your essays are good for the private colleges.</p>

12

<p>yeah, i agree lol. my gpa/rank couldve been so much higher but i lost a lot of motivation junior year... sucks lol i would probably be happy anywhere though. i could go to nyu right? i have a site that shows the stats of people who got rejected/accepted from various colleges at my school, and avg gpa for cornell was 4.14w and 1430 SAT
of course, a lot of stats were very low that got in and a lot of stats were very high that got rejected =\ is it EC's? im getting rly worried about that now</p>

13

<p>what about tufts? do u think thats more of a match</p>

14

<p>UCB: Match (OOS)</p>

15

<p>new weighted for Berkeley (if i did this correctly): 4.38
unweighted: 3.77</p>

16

<p>whats the diff in normal weighting and the UC weighting, is it just that you have to drop freshman year?</p>
