<p>anyone? will chance back</p>

<p>Your GPA is pretty bad. Your test scores do not make up for it (they’re pretty bad also).</p>

<p>You have no unique/prestigious ECs.
You have no awards worth mentioning.
Stick to some core leadership positions (board member, founder).</p>

<p>Only interesting thing is your work experience.
Princeton- High reach
Brown- Reach
UPenn-Reach
Cornell-Reach
Stanford- High reach
Duke- High reach
Dartmouth-Reach
NYU-Reach
Northwestern-Reach
Boston U-Low Reach
UC Berkeley-Reach
UC LA-Low Reach
UC SD-High Match</p>

<p>Emphasize your unique work experience/write amazing essays.
Everything else is mediocre, since you have no legit academic cred, (olympiad finalist/etc.)</p>

<p>I agree with advanced Lawlz.</p>
