<li>very strong EC's, leadership, and I have been in most of my activities/community service since freshmen year. Ranked around 10 out of 750 at my school. And also, my senior year coursevload is slightly easier than my soph/junior year courseloads, will this have a huge impact on admission chances?** That's my main concern, my easier senior year schedule.</li>

<p>With those stats, your ECs and essays will be a huge factor in whether or not you get in. Having strong ECs by itself isn’t enough – adcoms use the specifics to determine whether or not you’d be a good fit.</p>

<p>So, really, what are your ECs?</p>

<p>Without more info, I’d say you’re likely a 50/50 in terms of chances.</p>

<p>If that GPA is true then I guarantee you will be accepted.</p>

<p>My son received a supplemental from both CAL and UCLA. He had a weird high school history, four schools in three years, treatment for depression out of state, etc. He did not have the chance to take AP and honors,but his essay was dynamite. Your stats are a bit better in some areas than his. I think the essay was the factor. It doesn’t mean he got a YES, but it may mean he did not get a NO.</p>
