<p>Woooooouuuuld soooomeone like to chaaaaance me?</p>

4

<p>Being Black + a Women w/ Good GPA & SATs really helps a lot. I think you are in UCLA or Cal. If you write a good personal statement, I think you have a good chance of getting into some of the other schools too.</p>

<p>Thanks! Any other opinions?</p>

<p>Most of the schools on that list are reaches for everyone. As long as you are happy with UT Austin the list is fine, but be aware that even with a great application none of these schools are a sure thing and a lot of it comes down to luck because everyone has excellent applications.</p>

<p>I think you’ll get into a lot of these :)</p>

<p>Good SAT, rank, and EC’s you have a good shot. Some are reaches for everyone.

<p>Thanks! </p>

<p>@yayitsme123, I yearn to be you and have a college already picked out. Meh… This waiting process might just kill me.</p>

10

<p>Haha it’s nice :slight_smile: </p>

<p>I do know how you feel, I applied early to both of my top choices (Carnegie and MIT) so essentially waiting on those results was just as bad. I knew that I had to get into one or the other. Luckily I did (to both) and I’m all done :wink: good luck! I’m pretty sure you’ll get into a few really top schools with that resume!</p>

11

<p>Thanks. I wish I could have applied early, but things (such as procrastination and a 620 on Bio E) didn’t work out. But I retook it, got a good score and I think my essays convey my personality, so here’s for hoping!</p>

12

<p>One last bump. :)</p>

13

<p>In my humble opinion, I think you’re more than good to go.</p>

<p>Only thing that will determine your decision would be your essays</p>

14

<p>Oh, woah. Never knew I got another response. Thanks! Don’t know how good my essays are. We’ll just have to see.</p>

<p>I was in a similar situation with you in terms of GPA/class rank and had lower SAT II scores (690 on Math II, and I want to be an engineer - LOL) and I made it into Princeton - my advice, don’t doubt yourself and hope for the best!</p>

<p>@GenApo, Thanks!</p>
