I'd love if somebody took time to chance me

<p>I'm nearing the end of my junior year. Although Berkeley was originally my first choice, I've found a number of other universities I'd like such as Hawaii Pacific University, University of Southern Cal, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, and UCLA. I visited UCLA a couple weeks ago and fell in love with it</p>

<p>My ECs are OKAY in my opinion. NHS, Girl Scouts since 1st grade, including Counselor-In-Training last summer and actual counselor this whole summer. I'm in my school's Gay Straight Alliance, have decent volunteer at a thirft store and animal shelter even though I started them only this year, ACLU (dunno if that counts), and other little things</p>

<p>My essays should be pretty good. I've been told I'm an excellent writer, though I believe I'm mediocre.</p>

<p>Also, I'm preparing for the SAT IIs in june and 3 AP tests in May</p>

<p>I know CC standards are pretty high, but if anyone could judge me as well as they know how, I'd appreciate it</p>

2

<p>I'd retake the SATs. Everything else looks good, GPA included.</p>

3

<p>there's a chances thread. post there</p>

4

<p>you really think so?! That would be great. People at the Cal board have told me my GPA is pretty bad and that makes me a moderate reach. Then again I just saw someone there asking to be chanced with a 4.2 UC GPA, decent ECs, 3 passing APs, a 2070 SAT, and almost perfect SAT IIs be told by more than one person that they were a slight reach.</p>

5

<p>oh, sorry, I didn't look too thoroughly through here before posting. Mostly because I didn'T want to read more threads like the aforementioned because they're way too discouraging.</p>

6

<p>I'd say slight slight slight slight slight match</p>

7

<p>does that mean high reach?</p>

8

<p>are u low income</p>

9

<p>Although I only have one parent contributing anything (the other is sucking away at that income), I'm still about average there.</p>

10

<p>does low income really matter? i heard it does...like if ur low income, that helps ur chances a lot.</p>

11

<p>on the sheet they gave me when I visited, it says income is a factor, so I would say yes, if you're a low income student, you've got a better shot.</p>

12

<p>yay that means i have a better shot lol llamoamlamoalaoalaolaoloal roflamo</p>

13

<p>I'd be way more confident about my chances if I was in state :(</p>

14

<p>because ur out of state, reach.</p>

15

<p>srabiee:</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Reach (out of state)
UCSD: Slight Reach (out of state)
UCSB: Match (out of state)</p>

16

<p>okay, flopsy, say hypothetically I got my SAT up to 2100. what then?</p>

17

<p>srabiee:</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Slight Reach (out of state)
UCSD: Match (out of state)
UCSB: Safe Match (out of state)</p>

18
