<p>Cmon! bump bump</p>

<p>GPA and rank are a bit mediocre for the top schools. Your standardized testing scores are pretty good and you are involved in a wide range of ECs, but I don't see any leadership positions in those ECs. I would say you've got a decent shot, but those top schools like Stanford and Cornell are still a far reach.</p>

4

<p>His rank is NOT mediocre. Do the math: He's in the top ~6%. </p>

<p>And his weighted GPA is 4.25. That's not too shabby!!</p>

<p>I agree that Stanford is a long shot, but it is for everybody. Except for the UC schools, I think you've got a reasonable shot at the rest. I believe that getting into a UC school from out of state is pretty close to impossible.</p>

5

<p>I'm sorry but a 3.7 UW is kind of mediocre. And ~6% of a class of ~750 is really not that impressive. Sure his Weighted is high but the UW brings him down.</p>

6

<p>scholastic bowl - B team captain
Volunteer - managed the volunteers in the ER

However, I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't get into any of the top schools.</p>
