<p>^<em>^ You got a chance to get into them! :] Besides your stats look good to me! ^</em>^ Goodluck!</p>

<p>Thanx for the reply and encouragement sneak. But I was under the impression that all the UCs are reaches for me. (Or so my counselor told me) What does everyone else in this forum think?</p>

<p>bump bump bump</p>

6

<p>what's your rank.</p>

7

<p>errr... like around 10%. My school doesnt let students know their rank until senior year.</p>

<p>Squarehead, what I believe is that colleges does look at your stats but they look for something else too. Such as how bad you wanna get in, could you afford to pay for the tution, personallity, and passion in something. :] I'm not sure if that's true, but I'm going to try it out when I apply to one of the ivy leagues. ^<em>^ Then we will see if that is true or not. :] IM me on AOL I'll be on so we could talk about it. ^</em>^ See ya!</p>

<p>Sneakiie thanks alot for the encouragement. But these are all UCs. They get so many applicants they dont even read each applicant's essay unless they feel it will push a borderline case over the top or explain something. To the UCs, stats are everything.</p>

<p>I got your AIm. Look forward to seeing u online :)</p>

<p>squarehead - I believe you will be accepted at all the UC's (except for maybe CAL and LA). Just write good essays and you are in! I think that CAL and LA are within reach...just keep trying and try every possible way to show you are passionate and motivated about what you want to do! Good luck</p>
