<p>Pepperdine: High match
UCSB: High match
UCI: Match
Cal Poly SLO: Reach
U Miami: High match</p>

<p>Do you have a safety?</p>

3

<p>San Diego state</p>

4

<p>And I totally disagree with you in regards to UCSB. I feel it is definitely a match not a high match.</p>

5

<p>I’m going to have to bump this. I need more responses.</p>

6

<p>I could almost have said UCSB as a match but sometimes it is better to err on the side of less acceptance odds.</p>

7

<p>What would I need to do to increase my chances for UCSB?</p>

8

<p>If you actually scored a 2000 then the odds for all schools on that list are much better.</p>

9

<p>And do my ECs and my ethnicity help me out as well?</p>

10

<p>Solid EC’s. Assuming you hit 2000 on the SAT, I’d Say…</p>

<p>Pepperdine: Match
UCSB: Match
UCI: Low Match
Cal Poly SLO: don’t know this school
U Miami: Match</p>

<p>Would be very surprised if none of them accepted u</p>

11

<p>With my current SAT score, what are my chances?</p>

12

<p>I first chanced you with your current SAT scores. Here’s a new chance report at 2000:</p>

<p>Pepperdine: Low match
UCSB: Low match
UCI: Low match
Cal Poly SLO: Low match
U Miami: Safety</p>

13

<p>Pepperdine:Match
UCSB:Match
UCI:Match
Cal Poly: high match-reach
U Miami:unsure</p>

14

<p>Are you planning on playing sports in college? I know it’s too late to be a recruited athlete, but admissions officers do think highly of sports, especially at your level. Community service is good, too. I’m not entirely familiar with any of these schools, but I think you have a good chance if you can get your SATs up a bit. Your grades are great and ethnicity always helps.
What’s your essay about?</p>

15

<p>My essay is about me being African but I appear white and I have blonde hair. It’s pretty emotional. Also I’m good enough to play baseball at the college level.</p>

16

<p>If you can get at least a 1930 then your chances are:
Pepperdine: Match
UCSB: Match
UCI: Low Match-match
Cal poly: High match
UMiami: High match</p>

<p>You do need a safety though, if you like the UC’s look at UCSC or if you want florida then check UF(probably low match) or USF just as a backup in case the others don’t workout but I can see you being accepted to at least 3 of those if you get your SAT up!</p>

17

<p>That sounds great. I think you have an excellent chance at all of them.</p>

18

<p>Thanks very much! Pepperdine is probably my number 1 choice.</p>

19

<p>I think you have a good chance at all of these schools, especially pepperdine, UCSB, and UCI. Your minority and athlete status should elevate your chances.</p>
