Thanks!</p>
<p>Thank you for your response! However, to keep the facts from being skewed, I want to say that that's my Junior year GPA. My Freshman and Sophomore GPA's were lower.</p>
<p>I'd say you are a shoo-in for every school on your list but Stanford and Caltech.</p>
<p>For the last two, you have a great chance of getting in but there are never any guarantees. If I may make a suggestion, apply to more reach schools like Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and MIT. You are virtually guaranteed to get into Berkeley and UCLA so just apply to more reaches. If you are dead-set on staying in California (and who could blame you I wish I was in California), then I wish you the best of luck for Stanford and Caltech. With stats like your's Berkeley is a huge safety.</p>
<p>EDIT: I did not know that 4.9 weighted was not your culmulative GPA. If that's the case, you should apply to a wide range of schools including safeties.</p>
<p>Thank you for your response! And, I was afraid this would happen! Should I edit the GPA section up top, or do you think people will see my second post? Am I really reach for Stanford and Cal Tech, still, because I sort of almost lost hope of going to those schools because I'm not in that many clubs, and I haven't really achieved crazy international awards or participated in JSA, or any of those really renown extracurricular activities. Did the Kumon stuff help in any way?</p>
<p>EDIT: Unfortunately, I can't edit more than twice</p>
<p>I wouldn't mention the Kumon stuff personally ;)</p>
<p>But your grades are tremendous... could def see you get into Caltech. Not sure about Stanford though, they seemingly like to look past grades and it doesn't look like you really have anything other than grades.</p>
<p>Whoa, those are some impressive scores! For SAT, and GPA, haha.
For SAT II, I would suggest taking one more, since the more the better(Sometimes true).
And the colleges also look at your ACT score, so maybe an insight on your ACT would be great, that is if you took it and received the score reports, if not, post it later. ^^</p>
<p>As for your EC, I think your awards makes up for your lack of EC. Haha, and the essay plays a major part in your application too. So you should write an essay that is if you haven't written it yet, one that will make they want to have you in their school or something that makes you stand out among all the others. :D</p>
<p>I think you can get into the first four, as for the last two, I wouldn't say you have a slight possibility, but their acceptance rate ain't that high. </p>
<p>Like what FuriousTadpole said, I think it'll be a good idea to add more colleges to your list, like MIT, Cornell, or any college that you think would be beneficial to your future life and profession. ;)</p>
<p>Thank you for your responses! I appreciate it! Also, in addition to my chances, I was wondering if going to a top undergraduate school affects one's chances of making it into that school's graduate school, like for instance going to Stanford Undergrad. and having a higher chance of making into Stanford School of Business (this probably isn't going to happen, but I decided to use it as an example ^^.) Thanks !</p>
<p>It depends - for instance if you're intending to get a P.h.d in physics you would almost certainly go to a different grad school... But I'm not sure how the other majors/grad degrees work.</p>
<p>I think you are probably in everywhere, except maybe Stanford, which is very difficult for anyone. Your good grades and SAT scores are particularly impressive.</p>
