My Chances at UCB, UCLA, Caltech, Stanford, and MIT

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>i'm a junior in public highschool in Cal.</p>

<p>SATI: haven't taken yet ....going to take this Jan.<br>
SATIIs: Physics 800 / Math IIC: 800 / U.S.hist. (going to take on May)
APs: took Physics B (5), World Hist.(4), and Euro. Hist.(5) in 10th grade.
right now i'm taking AP Calc, AP Comp. Sci., AP U.S. hist, AP Latin Lit., and AP Econ.
GPA: so far it's great..(i got all A's, except the B+ in English in this quarter, but i think I can raise it to A.....hopefully)
Rank: 8 / 579
AMC 12/ AIME (for Caltech and MIT):122 / 6
ECs: mostly math
Math Club (official) / Academic Decathlon (vice prez) / Varsity Tennis/
community service at local library / trying to found Science club...
taking online course for Math Olympiad
USAMTS (honorable mention...well....)
ARML (team high scorer...i was in B team though....)
some awards in LAtin and etc. etc...</p>

<p>What would be the bottom line for SAT I?
Thanks,</p>

<p>caltech, staford, mit reach
b, la safety-match considering u do well on sat</p>

<p>The cumulative GPA is more important than individual grades..especially Honors/AP, B+ is nothing to worry about..many people have C's at least 1-2 on their transcripts</p>

<p>SAT I bottom line= 2100. Above that, the other factors start becoming very important. But a 2300 would be nice =) </p>

<p>With SAT 2100+...
CIT/Stanford/MIT=Reach
UCB=probably match. In-state, so might be easier
UCLA=similar to Berkeley but slightly higher chances</p>

<p>I don't know about anyone else, but UCB is ONLY a safety is HYP is a match.</p>

<p>I'm a junior in a similar place as you, though I think I'll wait till I take all the tests before I ask about chances at Berkeley (which is where I want to go the most). =)</p>

<p>IMO you have the stats, and the drive. Nail the SATs, and then apply. You have earned the right to ask....If you are designated as a elc in your public high school, then your chances will increase even further. Good Luck</p>

<p>Thanks for the comments.
BTW, i have one more question:
what are my chances at JHU and Tufts ?</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>

7

<p>Dude, if you can get into UCB or MIT, you can definitely get into JHU and Tufts. :P</p>

8

<p>yeah, but i don't know whether i can get into UCB or MIT........</p>

9

<p>Yes, but we already told you whether we think you could get into UCB or MIT. =)</p>

<p>Also, I suggest waiting till you have all the major scores in (SATs, etc.) before posting chance threads. Just a thought, though.</p>

10

<p>Uh, you should believe that the bottom line is 2400 :P. It's more around 2200 though for Stanford, lower for the UC schools and higher for Caltech (especially this one) and MIT.</p>

11

<p>can't compare chances between ucs and privates...ucb takes basicalyl the top 4% from every school even w/ a 1900- sat score</p>

12

<p>^^ not true again.</p>

<p>If you have 100 kids in your grade (and there are schools like that), and you get better grades than 94 of them, then you're in the top 4%. But if those 94 people suck, and you just suck a little less, you aren't getting into Berkeley.</p>
