<p>Stanford, Caltech, Harvard: reach
UC Berkeley: slightly a reach but worth a try.
UCLA: match but not in for sure
UCSD: in for sure.</p>

3

<p>oh never mind, I forgot to look at your ACT score lol</p>

<p>Stanford: still a reach (reach for almost everyone… to be honest)
Caltech and Harvard: reach~high match
UC Berkeley: low match. pretty good chance.
UCLA & UCSD: in for sure…</p>

<p>Stanford: Reach (But a pretty decent shot)
Caltech: Reach
Harvard: Reach (If you are a URM, then it wouldnt be so bad of a reach)</p>

<p>I’m guessing you’re instate for UCB, UCSD, UCLA:</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: High Match (You should get in to at least 1)
UCSD: In</p>

<p>If possible, could you chance me back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/807383-hey-you-yes-you-come-look-my-thread-please.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/807383-hey-you-yes-you-come-look-my-thread-please.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Chances at Stanford</p>

<p>Both of my kids applied to Stanford. S#1 was rejected and S#2 was accepted early action.</p>

<p>Your stats are good enough so that you aren’t in the automatic “Reject” pile. For the “Maybe” pile, it is all about how you convey yourself as a person through the essays and letters of Recs.</p>

<p>For the UCs…you are in at UCSD. The UCs seem to evaluate each applicant in context (i.e. your school, town, personal circumstances). I don’t know your family background, but I think you have a pretty good shot at UCB and UCLA.</p>

7

<p>Does Stanford also evaluate you in context? And I’m getting the feeling that Essays are more important than ECs, is that true?</p>

8

<p>^^^
Thats never true. How can 500 words be weighed more than some 4 years of dedication?</p>

9

<p>hm true x.x;;</p>

<p>more chances please!</p>

<p>Wow, you have a very rock-solid resume… only concern I have is why did the # of AP course drop from the past 2 years… Anyway, here’s my diagnosis:</p>

<p>Stanford: BIG Reach (Should’ve gone for ED)
Caltech: Ditto
Harvard: Ditto (these 3 are the 3 best schools in the country… you’re going to have much harder competition)
UC Berkeley: Reasonable Reach
UCLA: You’re In
USCD: You’re In</p>

<p>I would suggest some more matches (like USC, U Wash, and San Diego… all fantastic schools and you could be pretty sure of getting in)</p>

<p>PLEASE GO TO MY THREAD to Chance all my schols… Thanks!!</p>

<p>HEY! nice job-youre bound to get in at UCSD and either UCB or UCLA. Harvard is a huge reach but it always is for a lot of people. </p>

<p>I don’t at all think UCB is a reach for you. If you’re in state, I have no idea at all why they would reject you. You’re valedictorian and your act and sat IIs are amazing. </p>

<p>I think: H/S/C - reaches.
UCB- low match
UCLA- low match
you’re in at one of those for sure.
UCSD - safety. </p>

<p>apply to more places though, more safeties cus you never know.</p>
