Do i even have a chance? (UPenn, Stanford, UChicago, etc)

<p>No merit aid at BC and Michigan, almost none at BU… It’s really going to come down to UCLA, UCSD, and the mid-tier UCs (Davis and Irvine), IMHO. You may also want to apply to Cal Poly SLO for financial good-sense reasons. </p>

<p>Just for kicks, go to the link below, click on “Custom Tables”, answer a bunch of questions, and enter up to 3 “mean characteristics” at a time (CA resident, GPA, overall SAT test score as 3 examples) to see what the admit percentage chances are for someone that is similar to your profile at all the various UCs:</p>
