<p>Does anyone think I have a chance with the schedule?</p>

<p>GPA is mediocre, SAT is above 2200..that's pretty much it</p>

<p>Cheers</p>

<p>Junior yr is a bit weak. I think SD and USC would be fine. UCLA and Cornell might be reaches depending on your GPA, but I think UCLA weighs on EC a lot. A friend of mine got into LA about 4-5 years ago. She had OK grades(As and Bs), but good EC(drama, yearbook, volunteer)</p>

<p>It also depends on how many APs your school offer. If it doesn’t offer a lot, colleges understand.</p>

<p>Cornell is really a stretch. Like now, it’s just a ‘oh hey parents went there, hopefully I might have a shot’, but they still offer programs I’m interested in.</p>

<p>Our school is one of the top in the nation and is known in our area for having kids go to freaking amazing colleges…one of the schools where everyone assumes everyone on campus is a nerd and loads up on like 7 AP classes when we have 6 periods max.</p>

<p>I think all the top universities know my hs … it’s one of the top schools, and it’s only emphasized more cuz it’s public.</p>

<p>Yeah >.></p>

<p>Thanks ! (:</p>
