<p>Sounds like you have a good chance for Berkeley and UCLA. I'd say UCSD is a definite in.</p>

<p>For the other schools like Columbia, JH, Rice, NU, Brown, I'd say you have a pretty good chance as well.</p>

<p>Harvard/Princeton/Stanford...it's always hard to say with those schools.</p>

<p>well you could be the most helpful ever... thanks man if you need me to rate ya let me know... i'm pretty good at this</p>

<p>btw my private college essays are total ownage.. lol it will make them cry for sure</p>

<p>Hey, I'd like to read your essays... Would you mind?</p>

<p>Oh, and what about this:</p>

<p>Freshman=2.9//3.6 WOW I NEED HELP
Soph:3.83///4.0
Junior:4.67////4.67</p>

<p>From your previous topic?</p>

<p>Your GPA for your junior year is higher than you though or is this theoretical?</p>

8

<p>i decided to take 6 ap's now lol i need to raise my freshman year g.p.a and class rank... a 3.95 weighted was what i originally planned but now... i need a 4.1 to be in the top 10 percent lol so i'm maxing all ap's junior year -_-</p>

<p>my essay is about my dad who passed away and his last wish was for me to go to ____________ college.. lol i'll just put any college in there. I'll just copy and paste my essay and send to each college and in the blank space put that college in there... btw can you rate my chances this time flippy?</p>

<p>hey can an essay totally get you in even if your stats are below normal?</p>

9

<p>hey its kinda sad.. i feel like i'm only going to be in high school once... only be young once and i wanna do something while i'm here, but at the same time i NEED good grades to go to good undergrad... good law school etc.... but it seems i never have time for fun and i wanna have the best high school experience -_-</p>

<p>the only time i'll ever have free time and relaxation is after 60 when i retire or whenever... kinda sad even during the summer i'm studyin for ap exams for the NEXT year! studyin SAT's, eagle project, summer classes its ridiculous</p>

10

<p>are private schools easier to get A's in than publics?</p>

11

<p>^Sometimes, but usually not.</p>

<p>With your new stats, it'd look like this:</p>

<p>UCLA/B: Match
UCSD: Safety
U Mich: Safe match
Georgetown: Slight reach
Columbia: reach
JHU: Slight reach
Rice: Slight reach
Stanford: Reach
Northwestern: Reach
Brown: Reach
Princeton: Reach
Harvard: Reach</p>

<p>Normally, JHU and Berkeley are equally hard to get into, but since your junior/sophomore grades are significantly, better, I think your chances would be better at a UC.</p>

<p>And your essay won't make anyone cry. I can promise you that, lol. I doubt they'll believe it/care.</p>

12

<p>I agree with Flippy completely. ^^</p>

13

<p>Is your SAT score just theoretical or what?</p>

<p>And are you a soph? O.o</p>

14

<p>ya i'm a soph... they are good estimates of what I will get maybe even close to 2300 on SAT if i study a lot during summer... bu i dont get you flippy... you keep chancing your opinions on my chances... firs you said rice was a reach, then you said it was a match and now its a reach... same with jhu...</p>

<p>brown and northwestern USED to be a slight reach now its a reach... what are you basing this on? your like john kerry in a debate..!</p>

<p>and if a girl is reading my essay, i guarantee you she will cry but thanks for your opinion</p>

15

<p>haha I really don't think sophs are in the position to make chance posts. Too little to go on- You can't just "assume" you'll get blah blah GPA, SAT, and SATIIs. How about once you actually GET them, you make the post. Till then, I think not. "Good Estimates" can change a lot when you actually take the real thing.</p>

16

<p>i have taken the real thing.. i got a 2250... I think i can make estimates... there are more than a lot of sophmores here... I shouldn't even use this site anymore. I cant have normal kids decide my chances that change it every post...</p>

<p>oh then you should put 2250 instead of "2100+"- it makes it seem like you're just estimating if you've taken the real thing.</p>

20

<p>i always estimate lower though I want REAL chances. Not john keryy style thats why i said lower. I dont want ucla to be a match if its really a slight reach and use the same concept for all my schools... etc... Thats why I did an estimate. Rate my chances if ya want though</p>
