<p>Holy CRAP! You are an absolute SHOE-IN at all 38! WOW!! Good job!</p>

3

<p>seriously, i think you should cut down your list.</p>

<p>edit - i dont know what was wrong with me, APPLY TO MORE!</p>

<p>I think you have a good shot at most of the top 20, but the Ivy schools are definitely still reaches. As for UCs, you will probably have a good chance at getting into most of them, but you might need to bump up your SAT scores for Berkeley or LA. To be honest, I know too many students who are just like you (good grades, decent ECs, rigorous classes) and got rejected from all the best schools. There are thousands upon thousands of talented students, so you need to work on making sure that you stand out, and the best way to do that is through your essay. You are certainly on the right track. Oh, and definitely do the biomedical research program! That will give you an edge. :)</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>Thanks, nogivingup. Besides SAT score, how else should I improve my application?</p>

<p>I’ll probably in NHS for sure next year.</p>

<p>I see nothing amazingly special about you. I am not trasing you as a candidate, but you don’t have anything very unique about you. I say no go from top 20’s/ivies, and then UC will vary (Berkeley/UCLA reaches, irvine/santa barbra/san diego/davis matches, the others in).</p>

<p>And if you’re a junior, don’t bother joining ASB/other clubs if it doesn’t genuinly interest you. Colleges will see you’ve been in it for little time, and thus they’ll think you’re resume stacking.</p>

7

<p>Tell me how I should improve then.</p>

8

<p>If I get over 2200+ on SAT, would I have chance for top 20 & Ivy?</p>

9

<p>Bump…</p>

<p>Come on guys Help me out</p>

10

<p>the higher your score is, the better your chances are. end of story. you’ll be fine.</p>

11

<p>I think getting at least a 2200 is almost a requirement for top 20s/Ivy schools, but just raising your score will not get you into those schools.</p>

12

<p>Chance me and I’ll chance back Thanks!!</p>

13

<p>Bump… Help me out por favor</p>

14

<p>UCs= you are in-state, so you’ll be fine.
Ivies= crapshoot, sorry, its like that for everyone.
Top 20= mixed, you’ll get into the lower 10 for sure, the upper ten you have a solid chance.</p>

<p>The UC’s would be considered safety schools for you, so don’t worry about that.</p>

15

<p>Yes I am in California. Thanks man. Any others wanna chance me?</p>

16

<p>Bump again…sorry but I really wanna hear more opinions</p>

17

<p>i have a friend who got into yale EA with a 1970. </p>

<p>i wouldn’t buy anyone’s bs here. a 4 with good stats and stuff, you’ll get into a bunch of top 20s and would most likely get into cornell if not a few other ivys. They’re just so unpredictable that it’s worth a shot. I have no idea about the ucs, live in Mass.</p>

18

<p>Thanks nskk. Hopefully you’re right about cornell lol. Can anyone else chance me por favor?</p>

19

<p>Bump Bump</p>

<p>Help me out guys!</p>

<p>Sam, seriously, what do you want!? People have given you chances, but you want more. These aren’t admissions officers, they are kids just like you. Gather information and assess your chances based on the past, because that’s all everyone here is doing.</p>
