<p>Hey guys, Im new here so It would be so kind of you to help me out here...</p>

<p>I have a series of questions and I'm soo worried n confused about college..I would appreciate if ppl would answer my questions...</p>

<p>I am currently a Senior in a pretty bad neighborhood school. It isn't very strong in academics. except they have a special Magnet program that I am in. And I don't have a strong academic record so I'm unsure of what to expect.</p>

<p>I have a 3.7 weighted GPA. And 1580 (New SAT)
550 SAT 2 in History and Literature</p>

<p>My Ec's are
-Vice President of Chess Club 11th/12th (member 9th/10th)
-Founder/President of Philosophy Club 11th/12th
-World Treaty Organization Embassador
-200 Hrs volunteer at local hospital
-Youth Group Director of American Arts Council Association.
(5 hrs volunteer/wk)
-League Baskbetball for 4 years.</p>

<p>Btw..I took all honors courses, but no AP's except for two college courses. Now in 12th im taking another college course..political science.
Also my class rank is at about 11-12%</p>

<p>I would appreciate it if you guys would answer my questions in this order...</p>

<p>1.) I am applying to all UC's, Pepperdine, Loyola Marymount, Occidental, and a couple of Cal State safety schools. What are my realistic chances at each UC and each given private school? I am not to fond of UCR/UCD/or UCSC(too far from home).</p>

<p>2.) Does it help that I'm in a magnet program? I noticed they have a special box to check-mark on the application. Does it help in admissions?</p>

<p>3.) Is their any other "good" University in Southern or Mid-California or surrounding states in which I have a decent shot at? </p>

<p>Thanks for your help!</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Super Reach
UCSD: Reach
UCI/UCSB/UCD: Slight Reach
UCSC/UCR/UCM: Match</p>

4

<p>So slight reach would mean I have a good chance?</p>

<p>I checked the UC stats and UCSB UCI ect have average stats that are all higher than mine..so does slight reach mean a pretty good chance?</p>

5

<p>Actually, Slight Reach means you have more of a bad chance at getting in.
Match would imply a good chance.</p>

<p>what about santa clara</p>

7

<p>How about my chances for the Private Universities I mentioned?</p>

8

<p>Loyola Marymount - Match
Occidental - Reach
Pepperdine - Are you involved and active in the Christian Right? Match if so, reach if not.</p>

<p>For other universities, you have good matches at the University of San Diego, University of the Pacific, University of the Redlands, Santa Clara University, Chapman University.</p>
