<p>E.C: Research project at UCLA, Decent amount of volunteer, club officer, running for band treasurer, national honor society memeber, california scholarship federation member</p>
<p>What are my chances of say.. a UCLA or higher ranked school? =/</p>
<p>I'd say your chances are quite high, with a GPA of 4.1 and decent SAT scores (2000+ for SAT I, 750+ for SATII's) would most likely guarantee an entry into the UCLA caliber schools.</p>
<p>Your welcome. Im here to help
As you may know, SAT scores ARE NOT everything. Even with other applicants that have scores of 2100+ or even 2200+, extra curricular activities will be the next area of assessment (after GPA). A research project at UCLA? That's quite outstanding for only a.. senior? in High school. The average applicant wont have any activities near that. Have you been in NHS for all four years? Colleges like to see persistency in extra-curricular activities like NHS and/or any clubs that your school might offer.</p>
<p>I would say if you are in-state (which I assume you are), you have a decent chance, however, I must disagree with a point that conservative makes, stating:</p>
<p>"The average applicant wont have any activities near that."</p>
<p>People who apply to UCLA? I don't think so. While research is great, it's not some steller EC. And most of these people who apply, their EC's are incredible, if not better.</p>
<p>While colleges like to see consistency, I cannot stress this enough, they want to see what you leave behind. A type of legacy. A part of you that will stay. Also, NHS is not anything near a "good EC," since nearly all the applicants, again, will have it.</p>
<p>oh yea, i forgot -- marching band and concert band for all 4 years</p>
<p>im a junior btw</p>
<p>good points made tami</p>
<p>on the side: i know my e.c. isnt super strong so do you think a SAT score considerably above what is "expected" like a 2200+ would be greatly helpful?</p>
<p>both my parents went to UCLA for degrees, im not sure if that would help either. meh!</p>
<p>LOL! No, it's just so boring here. If I lived in Denver, that'd be something else. But we live somewhere in Littleton...UGH. SO BOOOORING. Moving to Fort Collins soon though, brother going there for college. </p>
<p>Wow..you have so many odd ties with UCLA! :P Good Luck, and I hope you get in!</p>

<p>yeah... RAWR GRR want to get in, but we will see.</p>
<p>btw, i'm a HS sophomore in senior year, so i might repeat everything again... just for the heck of it and better chance to get into early program. hmm... idk. i have 4.0 unweighted GPA, 6 and 7s on all IB exams (from freshman year taking them) and this year i just finsihed taking them again, hoping to have all 7s!!! and we will see... college next year? maybe.... undecided. so far stanford accepts, yale accepts, harvard's waiting list, and brown is "undecided"... so we will wait. if not, maybe one more year until i feel good and ready! and i'm 16... so idk</p>
<p>what do you think?? THANKS!!!!!!! :):):) do you think i'm CRAZY?? haha j/k</p>

<p>confusedaboutcollegegirl,
You have a very nice application to be honest. I hope you get into Brown and from looking at your app, most likely you're probably at the very top or near the top of their list. If you really want to try next year, I would keep your positions in office and just add another year of the same excellence.</p>
<p>To Zhou, you have very good stats looking at the Top 25. UCLA and UCB accepts statistics like yours. You look like you have the typical app that would get anyone into the UC's. For EC's yours looks decent and depending on your research, it may or may not help you. You may want to try Harvey-Mudd also. The EC's can't be stressed enough though because I know people that were not accepted and had to go to their ELC-provided school due to not having enough/significant EC's.</p>
<p>what about my chances in JHU, Yale, Harvard, Stanford, and UCBerkley?
