<p>My school kind of sucks, I have taken every AP class available and have gotten straight A's. They did not offer AP Chemistry or Physics so I am worried that will hurt me for engineering. I applied UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC San Diego, and Stanford. I have 4 years running varsity track, being captain for 2 years. Over the summer I had an internship with Linden Lab working on Second Life doing software development. I have an extensive background in independent study of computer science and electrical engineering. My employer even stated that I already had the knowledge of a computer science major, too bad UCs do not take letters of rec.</p>

<p>I think you have excellent chances at UCLA and San Diego. Don't know on the others. Good luck!</p>

3

<p>You're finishing Calc III in high school but you got 33, 680 for your act/sat math?</p>

4

<p>Yeah but I have an 800 on my math II SatII. Geometry and stuff I tend to have trouble with, but Calculus is really easy for me.</p>

5

<p>Anyone else?</p>

6

<p>not stanford: great chances</p>

<p>yes stanford: less great chances. your ECs are too minimal, and your scores are on the low end. plus, coming from a bad school, you will probably get poorer recs than someone from a private school. But, stranger things have happened. good luck!</p>

<p>Stanford is just sort of a try it and see, I went really creative with my essays because I figured I would need something if I even wanted a chance. Berkeley is what I am most interested in. Thanks for the input.</p>

8

<p>i'd say berkley is a solid match for you. i'd be somewhat surprised if you didn't get in.</p>

<p>(you do live in CA, right?)</p>

9

<p>Yeah, about an hour and a half away from Berkeley.</p>

10

<p>I'd say you have a good chance at Stanford (better than most). </p>

<p>Val, hardest courseload, good ACT/SAT2's, captain of track, and very very solid and centralized extra classes/ecs, + ur in cali</p>
