<p>You’re fine. You’ve got good grades, so you’re a hard worker. Your extracurriculars COULD be better, but certainly aren’t bad. The colleges to which you are applying are moderately selective. Assuming you knock these upcoming classes out of the park (let’s just say only 3-4 B’s in all your AP classes, all 3’s or 4’s and a couple 5’s on the tests), I would say (though I am no professional, I have 3 older brothers who have explained all this to me) your percent chance for each college is as follows:</p>

<p>Cal Poly Pomona: 80%
San Jose State: 80%
Cal State Long Beach: 35%
U of Utah: 90%
U of Oregon: 85-90%
U of Colorado - Boulder: 65%
Cal State Fullerton: 50%
U of Florida: 60%
Cal Poly SLO: 75%
UC Irvine:40%
UC Santa Barbara
Rutgers - New Bruinswick</p>
