I'm in depression...

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>OK so now that I got my new SAT scores (which were below that I was expecting), I'd love it if you guys could tell me chances to the following:</p>

<p>UC Berkeley
UCLA
UC San Diego
UC Davis
UC Santa Cruz
USC-Marshall
NYU-Stern
University of Kansas
And is there any hope at all for U Penn Wharton?</p>

<p>My stats:</p>

<p>SAT: 1990. Reading: 620. Math: 690. Writing 680, 9 essay.
SAT II: Haven't taken yet, but projecting ~700 in Math IIC, and anywhere from 600-750 in Bio.
GPA: Unweighted: 3.75. UC: 3.95. Weighted: 3.99
I'm also probably going to retake the SAT one more time, and probably the ACT as well.</p>

<p>My school is a religious, Jewish school with a double curriculum consisting of Judaic classes in the morning and Secular Classes during the afternoon. It doesn't send many students to the elite schools because of the small classes, but out last year's graduating class of 19 people, 1 person went to Stanford, 2 to Berkeley, 2 to UCLA, 2 to USC. I'm also ranked #1 in my class out of 16 people.</p>

<p>My extracurriculars:
Yearbook 2 years
Debate Club 2 years
Book Club 1 year
Journalism 1 year
Drama Club: Lights and Sound manager 1 year
Baseball Team 1 year
Member of Bnei Akiva (Jewish Youth organization, the biggest of its kind in the world)
90 hours of volunteering for the school</p>

<p>From March till July I worked for a clothing store. I was in charge of the clothes it sold on ebay (which were brand name, such as Seven Jeans, Gucci, Prada, etc.) and packaging and shipping them to their buyer. </p>

<p>During Summer of 2006, I volunteered for the Russian Jewish Community of San Francisco. I was in charge of the various databases and making sure they were in order. My total volunteering hours for this was about 200 hours.</p>

<p>During Summer of 2005, I did more or less the same thing, except I was paid for this by a program called MYEEP, a program funded by San Francisco.</p>

<p>If it helps, I'm fluent in Russian (It's my first language I was born in Kiev, Ukraine and moved to the US when I was 7), and also speak some Spanish and Hebrew.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Wharton: No.</p>

<p>Wharton is unlikely. The other schools are likely to admit you; however, admissions are so ultra competitive this year, as they were last year, that you should not assume that you will be admitted to UCLA, Berkeley or USC's Marshall. Assume that you are competitive and that any decision may well depend upon your application essays and recommendations.</p>

<p>Thanks. Yeah I knew Wharton was a long shot. What about NYU? Any other advice?</p>

<p>You should be in at UCLA, San Diego, Davis, Santa Cruz, and Kansas. </p>

<p>NYU an USC, I'd say, are about a 50/50 chance.</p>

<p>Wharton is a reach.</p>

<p>Bump</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>
