Freaking out...Chance please.

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I think my stats look pretty average compared to other people on the board here. And I know I'm only a junior but the first semester just ended. I was disappointed because I was looking forward to getting all A's. I know junior year is supposed to be really tough and I guess I'm stressing out from the pressure.</p>

<p>The colleges that I really want to get into are:
UCLA
UCSD
UC Berkeley
Columbia
Yale</p>

<p>I'm not sure if I'm anywhere near what Ivy League schools want. Since I have time (the rest of the my junior year), if you guys have any suggestions on how to improve my stats I'd greatly appreciate it.</p>

<p>(Btw, I'm horrible at math.)</p>

<p>you have a low uw gpa, and compared to most asians applying, an extremely low gpa. However, if you make yourself stand out among Asians and exemplify ec's, you have a decent shot. Good luck.</p>

<p>ECs, scores, and gpa are all too low for columbia and yale. improve your SAT substantially, and get way into one or two ECs if you want a decent shot at those schools.</p>

<p>for UCSD, Berkley, and UCLA, I'd say you're an average applicant, and following the above advice will greatly improve your odds. Being from CA also helps, so i'd worry about those a lot less.</p>
