<p>...anyone....lol</p>

<p>the GPA is the only conspicuous weak point, but i think you're in good shape nonetheless because of your test scores and solid ecs.</p>

4

<p>If URM status applies, then you're probably in at all those. If not, your GPA is going to hurt. AP US Hist.-3 ??? What happened?</p>

5

<p>haha AY8888, that week from what i remember was incredibly hectic. i don't remember what exactly happened b/c it was 2 years ago, but i think i was just so overwhelmed with school stuff/etc.
but i think i could've pulled out a 4. a regret of mine i'm afraid</p>

<p>....bump lol...</p>

<p>gah..bump...</p>

<p>Go Golden State Warriors. </p>

<p>bump</p>

11

<p>UT is a high reach</p>

12

<p>u think UT is high reach with 33 ACT? I dont think so. I think u got a good shot at al those places, again GPA a little low but still i think ulll be fine.</p>

13

<p>You guys think i have a shot at BC?
lol</p>

14

<p>bump.........yeah bump</p>

<p>If it helps at all, I'm also from CA and applied to UW-Madison (first choice). I got postponed and am waiting a final decision.</p>

<p>UW GPA: 3.33, W GPA: 3.85
SAT: 2030 (M: 680, W: 680, R: 670)
SAT II US History: 740
SAT II Lit: 580</p>

<p>I also applied to Washington. If I had to guess I think I'll get into Washington and rejected from Wisconsin. But just the fact that I got postponed with worse stats than you and worse EC's has to be a good sign for someone with your resume.</p>

16

<p>Hey you have almost the same stats as me! I'm hispanic too but I kinda have the opposite of you: lower test scores and higher GPA. I think you have a great chance at USC and probably UCLA even though UCLA is more statistics driven than USC. Boston College is a good shot too. I don't really know about the rest but if they are about the same as those three, you have a great shot. Good Luck!</p>
