Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm narrowing down my list to...</p>

<p>Brown, Pomona, Reed, Scripps, Cal SU Long Beach, UC Berkeley, UCD, UCSC, University of Chicago, Stanford, Swarthmore, and Washington University in St. Louis</p>

<p>Some of these decisions are random and not very well thought out, but I'm indecisive. So, what do y'all think my chances are at these places? I do want to go to college, so it would be nice not to be rejected everywhere.</p>

<p>GPA: weighted is about 4.3, unweighted about 3.9. Schedule includes 2 AP classes sophomore year, 3 junior year, with lots of honors classes too.</p>

<p>SAT grades: 800 critical reading, 800 writing, 690 math. so 2290 combined.
SAT II: Spanish 780, US History 780, Lit 770</p>

<p>AP scores (does this matter?) : 5's on Euro, APUSH, English Lang, and Spanish Lang, 4 on Physics and 3 on Chem</p>

<p>EC's ...
Track and Cross Country (JV) 10th and 1th grade. probably will not do senior year
Drama for all 4 yrs, been in several plays, lead role next year
Spanish Honors Society 11th-12th grade
Interact- 10th, 11th, 12th grades, will be co-president next year</p>

<p>I am a white, female, middle-class from northern CA (does any of this matter?)</p>

<p>any thoughts would be appreciated! you are all much more knowledgeable about this whole process than I am, I'm sure.</p>

<p>You'll make it to CSULB. You only need a 2.0 GPA and ok SAT scores to go there.</p>

<p>Stanford might be a slight reach/reach. It's like an ivy league now(10% acceptance rate).</p>

<p>UC Berkeley: slight reach/ match</p>

<p>UC Davis: match/ slight reach</p>

<p>Are you in the Eligibility in Local Content program? The UC system will notify you, if you were accepted into the program. It's a program for the top 4% of students in each high school. If a student is accepted, they're guaranteed acceptance to a UC.</p>

<p>Even with the program, I suggest applying to private colleges, too.</p>

<p>You're SAT scores are good. If you want you can retake the SATs for your math, but I would work on my applications, if I were you. I bombed the SATs, so I'm studying for the ACTs.</p>

<p>You have great test scores first of all. The math could be upped a little to help you out. Good GPA but do you not have class rank? Sorry if I misread and you mentioned it. I think you have an excellent chance at all the UC's but Brown and Stanford could be a bit of struggle since you dont have that many E.C's and why are you quitting XC??</p>
