<p>Hello. Thank you for taking your time to read my post. I had a recent change of heart and I felt I wanted to try for more. I am going to attend ASU this fall, but I was wondering if it was worth the try to apply to Stanford or UC Berkeley? My stats aren't the best, but that is also why I would like to see what others think. I have a lot going for me at ASU. I am going to attend the Barrett Honors College and I recieved several scholarships so that I would be going debt free for four years. Do you think I should stay put or try to be with the best? My stats are:</p>
<p>Ethnicity: Asian
1st generation to attend college (my family comes from a poor China, looking to improve my future and theirs as well)
Income bracket: 60k (any chances for financial aid?)
Unweighted GPA: 4.00
ACT score: 31 (perfect on reading subscore)
SAT score: Math: 630 Reading: 630 Writing: 570
Rank: 2 out of 522 (public school)
Have taken numerous AP classes: 5 on Biology/US History, 4 on Calculus AB/BC
National Honor Society member for 2 years
Chess Club President (founded it when freshman)
Varsity Tennis Captain: 4 years
Community service at a public library: 3 years (200 hours)
Future Business Leaders of America President (1 year)
Passion: Piano (been playing for ten years and have been recieving various certificates)
Awards: recieved several awards at the local, regional, and state level for Future Business Leaders of America (1st, 2nd places in business calculations, economics, etc)
Qualified for Nationals, but didn't win anything
Major: something in business as a bachelor's, but eventually I would like to be a pharmacist</p>
<p>Is there anything I can do to improve my chances? I'm probably have to apply as a transfer student since I missed the deadline for freshmen. Is there anything I can do in college to help me? Finally, are there any "better" schools than ASU that would be a better match for me if Stanford and UC Berkeley is a high reach for me? Thanks so much. I appreciate the help.</p>
