<p>I’ve never typed accepted so many times in my life before.</p>
<p>UCSD, UCD, UCI are matches

<p>Please Chance me now:</p>
<p>Chance me for ucb, ucd, ucsd, cal poly
Intended Major = Computer Science
ACT = 28
SAT = 1810(540/660/610)
GPA(UW) = 3.8
GPA(W) = 3.9
AP’s = AP Physics B(4)
Senior year Courseload = AP Calculus BC, AP Computer Science, AP Physics C, Art, Govt, English
EC = 4th place state level in open source software development, Robotics, Karate</p>
<p>Transferred from India to USA for junior year, thus absence of AP’s</p>
<p>Oh wow, thanks for pulling this out of the land of the dead! lol
and thanks for the chances too! </p>
<p>I actually think I’ll get rejected from UCSD and Irvine. Also University of Rochester. I might get into Boston University, but I probably won’t get enough aid. But otherwise, I think those are fair. </p>
<p>@javacompsci: ECs sound cool, but SAT/ACT are a low. GPA is fine. So therefore, I think UCB is a reach, UCD/UCSD are matches, and unfortunately I really don’t know the CSUs too well even though I live in California. Good luck!</p>
<p>@quidditchcat
Thanks a lot!</p>
<p>U of R loves applicants who are interested in them, so if you visited and/or interviewed, you probably have a better chance than you think.</p>
<p>Eh, idk. Now that I think about it, I don’t think my interview went well. Ah well. </p>
<p>But I did go to the rep visit at my school, and mentioned it in my supplemental essay. </p>
<p>I’ll find out if it helped on February 15.</p>
<p>idk the majority of these schools but they seem like they’d all be matches or safeties except swarthmore, ucb and stanford which would be reaches</p>
<p>I think you have as good of a shot at Stanford as anyone. You have incredible ECs and your application is pretty strong overall. You have reasons for the GPA. You’re also a legacy. I expect that you will be accepted to most of these schools (except for the obvious reaches)</p>
<p>We shall see.
Okay, so I’m no longer doing Agnes Scott EA. So earliest I’ll hear back from another school is Feb 10. This wait is so hard. :/</p>
<p>I think if you tell the college about your conditions, they’ll accept the low GPA</p>
<p>University of Puget Sound: sorry no clue
Franklin and Marshall College: high
DePauw University: good
Indiana University @ Bloomington (already accepted): well then…ill go with very likely 
Clark University: good
Agnes Scott College: good
Baylor University (already accepted): not a chance
Case Western Reserve University: good
Boston University: lowergood
University of Pittsburgh: no idea sorry
Worcester Polytechnic Institute: no idea sorry
University of Colorado @ Boulder: lower good
Oxford College at Emory: ehh between lower good and lowerreach
Emory: lowreach
University of Southern California: lowgood
University of Minnesota @ Twin Cities: no idea
Carleton College: good
Stanford: superduper reach (not because it’s you, but this is stanford we’re talking about)
Wellesley: lowreach
Smith College: no idea
Rice University: lowreach
Swarthmore College: no idea
Georgia Tech: no idea
University of Rochester: good

<p>Not sure if this will change anything, but the highest possible GPA I have for first semester is 3.8 UW. I think my worst case scenario happened…</p>
<p>Got into Agnes Scott with 19,000 in merit aid per year. Also got into DePauw.</p>
<p>It’s been a while… I’ve heard back from a few other places.
I got waitlisted at the U of R and rejected (got an unlikely prediction) from Wellesley. </p>
<p>So now I’m going to assume I got rejected from everywhere else. </p>
<p>So, to summarize, can you list the colleges you’ve heard from, listing
1° Rejections (Ouch, sorry, but… normal, that’s why people apply to a lot of colleges)
2° Admissions, with cost of attendance after scholarships but BEFORE any loan + if you got into the honors college
Then, 3° any school you haven’t heard from yet.</p>
<p>Most important is 2° so if 1° is too painful and 3° is too much work you can leave them out, but they’d provide us with more info to chance you on the schools that remain + 2° would give us info to help you make a choice.</p>
<p>Congratulations on Agnes Scott! It’s an excellent school, supportive yet academically challenging, in a dynamic city. AND you got a great scholarship!</p>
<p>Thanks. I wasn’t actually looking for updated chances, but I guess that would be nice too.

<p>Thank you for providing all this information for us!</p>
<p>Well, I assume Baylor is out, that much should be clear.
Based on Baylor’s estimation of need based aid, seeing how WPI isn’t richer it’s probably out too - the wild card is that they tend to be more generous for female applicants.
Clark, UCR, and UMN-Twin Cities are the next leading contenders. I’d pick either Clark or UMN-TC over UCR because they’re stronger and would show you another part of the country; both universities are actually very different: one extremely large flagship in the middle of a very green and very dynamic (if very cold) metropolis, one smaller, closer-knit university that’s in some ways similar to a LAC but with excellent opportunities, in a so-so city but near many excellent Northeastern cities.
I’d guesstimate that you’re in at UPS, UCD, UCI, and UCSC, so cost-wise as of now it looks like it’s Agnes Scott vs. the UCs.
Many of the universities on your list meet need but offer little merit, so I’m not sure they’ll be as affordable as the options above.
Carleton, Emory, Stanford, Swarthmore were always reaches, and still are. “you never know”.</p>
<p>With so many universities, you should have plenty of good choices.
Even if Twin Cities vs. Clark vs. Agnes Scott may not be the choices you’d prefer, they’re all excellent, and they look relatively affordable.
So I’d relax if i were you. Congratulations: you’re going to college. And you won big enough scholarships to have some desirable choices that won’t break the bank. 
</p>
<p>What budget do you have? Do you have to to be under 30,000 or can you go as high as 35,000? If you have 20-25,000 offers, will that be a game changer vs. 30,000?</p>
<p>Thanks for your reply! </p>
<p>I think I need to be under $30,000, especially because out-of-state, I would also have to pay for transportation as well. I don’t think it will be a major impact if I have 20-25k vs. 30k, especially if the said schools are some of the UCs vs. schools such as Agnes Scott and Clark. I will hopefully visit over spring break to make some sort of conclusion. </p>
<p>Rankings are kind of BS to me, so I think if it came down to say UCSC for example vs. Agnes Scott vs. Clark, I would go for UCSC because the department I’m interested in seems pretty strong (bioinformatics). </p>
<p>Good thinking on UCSC actually.
I’d still pick UM-Twin Cities over UCR though. </p>
