<p>UCD: Safety
UCSD: Safety</p>
<p>UCB: Match</p>
<p>Yale: Mid Reach
Stanford: Mid Reach Yale and Stanford will greatly depend on your essays.</p>
<p>Are you skipping senior year?</p>
<p>UCD: Safety
UCB/UCSD: Match
Yale/Stanford: Reach (since all Ivies are Reaches)
You have a good chance overall at the Ivies, you just never know.</p>
<p>@tooty44 I plan on doing so, yes.
Does anyone know if my AP scores/SAT II score will affect admission? I want to major in biological sciences on a premed track…</p>
<p>SAT II will affect admissions but I am fairly sure AP scores only count for college credit and don’t really do anything for you in admissions.</p>
<p>Ok, thanks. I’ll probably be retaking SAT II Bio when I take Math II then.</p>
<p>Suggest you take choir instead of ART I to fulfill your “f” requirement.
Unless you have the time and creativity to invest into art projects, choir is a stress free A.</p>
<p>High reach for Yale and stanford
Reach for cub
High match for rest</p>
<p>Yale - High Reach
Stanford - High Reach
UCB - Low Reach/High Match
UCD - Match
UCSD - Match</p>
<p>@beerme Art I counts as an “f” and I’ve heard that it’s also an easy A in my school. Plus, my singing ability is even worse than my artistic ability 
Thanks for all the chances!</p>
