<p>You look good for all, Cornell is the only significant reach.</p>

3

<p>I like your title…
I would say IN everywhere minus Cornell, but with a decent shot at it.</p>

<p>No class rank?</p>

<p>What are your preferred schools? just wonderin.</p>

4

<p>our class rank is kind of weird. according to my school im like 50/660 but the rank doesn’t take into account weighted GPA. since i’m ELC i should be between 1-25 out of 660. </p>

<p>I dont really have any particular school I really want to go to. I’d say Berkeley, UCLA, USC, and Texas are my top choices, considering that I dont get into Cornell.</p>

5

<p>Oh and I’m AP Scholar with Distinction. Not that it really matters</p>

6

<p>any more thoughts?</p>

7

<p>Since you’re a resident, in at all California schools. UT-Austin is a reach because you’re OOS and Cornell is obviously a reach since it’s an ivy</p>

8

<p>Hey, do you go to Independence, Evergreen, Mount Pleasant, James Lick, or Andrew Hills?</p>

<p>Just wondering.</p>

9

<p>no…why?</p>

10

<p>“San Jose Area Representative for my church’s youth group 9th-10th” that’s why.</p>

11

<p>Oh I live on the other side of San Jose not East. anyone think I should apply to Stanford? or is it a waste?</p>

12

<p>Probably a waste.</p>

13

<p>lol I like how people discourage people who have a chance from applying, but encourage everybody else.</p>

14

<p>Wait so I do have a chance at Stanford?</p>

15

<p>bumpbumpbump</p>

16

<p>If you don’t mind, I will chance for UC’s because I attend UC B and most of my knowledge is in the UC system. </p>

<p>For starters, my GPA/SAT was almost identical to yours when I was applying. I now attend Berkeley. </p>

<p>Your EC’s are good but lack originality for the most part EXCEPT for STAND. UCB is a HUGE college participator for anti-genocide, in particular STAND. So I think that will really benefit your application and show that you are socially fit for this environment. </p>

<p>Now, for the most part UC’s look for students with a 4.2 and 2150. But it’s not like there is a computer where you plug in the numbers and it spits out a list of names that don’t fit. I got in with a strong essay and work experience in my majors field.</p>

17

<p>I’m taking the ACT this weekend. Will it increase my chances at Cornell, UC B, UCLA, and Stanford if i get a 35 or 36? I took my first ever practice test and got a 34-35.</p>

18

<p>Stanford is a high reach but if you want to go then why shouldn’t you apply?</p>

19

<p>it’s not that i’m dying to go there. I just don’t wanna waste money and time writing my essays if I probably won’t get in.</p>

20

<p>i feel like i dont have enough reaches. The only one on my list is Cornell. Does anyone have any good recommendations for low to mid reaches?</p>
