<p>MUCH appreciated, thank you guys!
(P.s. I already got rejected to UCLA- what would my chances appealing to ucla/USC be?)</p>

<p>I think you’re good for all of them except Berkley. Then again, it might help that you live in Cali. Your stats are great! :)</p>

<p>anyone…?</p>

<p>Tough call! It looks like your GPAu is only around a 3.5. Your SAT is also good but not excellent. Your EC’s also look okay but nothing outstanding unless you are the president for entire Habitat FH non profit corporation. That would be oustanding. Hopefully the legacy thing will kick in. GL</p>

<p>@sosomenza,
my GPAu is 3.65, not 3.5! What are my chances for USC? high/low? ucb?</p>

<p>anyone else? please?</p>

<p>I think they’re fair!</p>
