Got a thin letter from Stanford...am I going to be accepted anywhere?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I got rejected from Stanford early. Not deferred, rejected.</p>

<p>GPA unweighted is 3.8, weighted it's 4.4
class rank 68/844...ouch
SAT
CR 730 M 750 W 700
SATII
US History 800, Math IIC 740, Chem 730
AP's
US History 5
European History 5
English Language + Comp 5
Spanish Language 3
I'm taking six AP's this year - Bio, Chem, Calc AB, Physics B, English Lit, and Environmental Science
4 years track + cross country</p>

<p>Uh...is it worth bothering to even apply to
Brown
Princeton
Yale
University of Chicago
Harvey Mudd</p>

<p>How will I fare on my UC application? I applied to Berkeley, UCLA, UCI, and UCSD.</p>

<p>Thanks guys.</p>

<p>I'm sure you'll get in Harvey Mudd and most of the UCs.</p>

3

<p>i don't think stanford does deferrals, so don't worry about that... I'm sorry though. You have good chances at the UC's and I would definitely still apply to those privates, you never know!</p>

4

<p>Stanford does do deferrals because two people at my school got deferred.</p>

5

<p>any more opinions?</p>

<p>HeyToni:</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Match
UCSD: Safe Match
UCI: Safety</p>

7

<p>Dont worry a person I know got rejected from Stanford early and got
in to Princeton...Your SAT is kind of low though, but keep your hopes up</p>

8

<p>UCB/UCLA: Match
UCSD: Safe Match
UCI: Safety</p>

9

<p>I don't think Berkeley and UCLA are matches for many people.</p>

10

<p>Uh...is it worth bothering to even apply to"</p>

<p>Brown: Yes but if your only ECs are track and CC, tough shot
Princeton: Very Unlikely
Yale: Very Unlikely
University of Chicago: Maybe, your ECs will hurt
Harvey Mudd: Good shot</p>

<p>UCB: Decent Shot
UCLA:Decent Shot
UCSD: Very Likely In
UCI: In</p>

<p>I think you should dump Princeton and Yale and replace them with more of a match or lesser reach, places like Emory, Northwestern, or Rice, just to have more potential choices come April.</p>

<p>lol i got a defferal.. not very spectacular tho.. just means ill be rejected later!</p>

12

<p>I meant yes its worth applying to Brown, its a long shot.</p>

13

<p>HY and P are extreme long shots. Brown a long shot. Mudd seems like a long shot with no math ECs. Bottom line, this is not a realistic list unless you will be happy at a UC. There's still time to retool.</p>
