Bump
Get a 30 on ACT and you should have a shot with almost all of these schools. NYU and the upper UC’s I can’t be sure about, as well as some others. This being said, I would be concerned about lacking AP’s though as they demonstrate that you are capable of keeping up with a tougher curriculum. This is the one thing that makes me question your stats.
UC Schools: Depends on the department, since you lack AP’s the highest that I could consider is UC:San Diego.
UIUC: High Match/low reach
UW Seattle: low reach
Perdue: Match
UT: Austin: high Match
UMass Amherst: Match (CS is selective here so it could be tougher)
UW Maddison: high Match
Penn State: Low reach
NYU: Reach (Unless you have $$$ and can afford to not apply for aid…then Match)
PS- A lot hinges on you ACT and taking a few AP classes senior year! You will gain huge brownie points and have a good shot at the top schools her considering you 1- Study for ACT and get a good score (30+ for NYU) 2- Take several AP’s senior year and work you ass off and get A’s. This would help a ton.
Does doing college full time replace the need for AP classes?
@halycon77
Seeing your list GTech comes to mind. You have a great GPA try to get 30 or thereabout and you will be set.
UIUC-Low Reach
UW Seattle- Match
Purdue- Low Match
UT Austin- High Match
UW Madison- Match
UMass- High Match
Penn State- High Match
NYU-Reach
Chance back? http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1724529-interview-preparation-and-affect-on-chances.html#latest
Depending on the UC. Good chance at UCSF, UCSB, and UCSC
@Emilynipahc: UCSF is a graduate school, no undergrad admissions unless that was a typo for UCSD.
@HuskiesFan5818: Since you are OOS for the Caifornia UC’s, can you pay the $55K/year price tag with little to no financial or merit aid available? If you can, then you need to calculate your UC GPA:
http://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/
As an OOS applicant, only AP/IB and DE courses 10-11th grade count for the extra honors points. Your unweighted GPA looks competitive. If your target ACT is around 27-30, that should get you into UCR/UCSC/UCSB and may get you into UCSB/UCI and UCD. If 30+, then UCSD/UCB/UCLA could be possibilities. Sorry not well versed on the rest of the schools on your list. Good luck
