yale/stanford -rejected</p>

<p>Why are you doing this to yourself? You’re competitive to many of these schools. However, there is nothing that any of us can really tell you that will help you. Nobody here knows. Nobody here is an admissions officer at any of these colleges (I don’t think). However, I do wish you the best of luck at all of these colleges.</p>

<p>Thanks for the chance; I’m chancing you back!</p>

<p>Pretty much what everyone in this thread has said.</p>

<p>As for NYU, chances are slim unless you get lucky. o;</p>

7

<p>^So what are you doing on the chances forum? I agree that these threads are mostly silly but it can be helpful to hear from others with anecdotal evidence or just different opinions than your friends or family, who usually react with “Of course you’ll get in!”</p>

<p>Thanks for the Chance</p>

<p>USC- Most likely in
UCSB-in
UCD-in
Berkeley- Could happen, not likely
Yale/ stanford- Super high reach</p>

9

<p>UCSB-in
UCD-reach (davis has rejected a fair amount of cal admits recently)
Berkeley- very unlikely (it’s all about the gpa at Cal, 4.0uw or better and you’d have a chance with your SAT score)
USC- very unlikely (it’s all about the SAT at USC, 2100 is now the average, at 1860 it’s unlikely)
Yale/ stanford- no</p>

<p>but you never know, good luck!!!</p>
