<p>schools looking at are:</p>

<p>Stanford

UCB
UCSD
UCI
USC
Claremont Mckenna
Pomona College </p>

<p>any feedback greatly appreciated</p>

<p>Presuming you are not playing a sport at these schools, I rank your chances as follows (this also presumes you get at least a 1860 on your next SAT I test)</p>

<p>UCLA--Match to Slight Reach
UCB--Slight Reach
UCSD --Match
UCI--Safe Match
USC--Match
Claremont Mckenna--Reach
Pomona College--Reach </p>

<p>Your biggest problem at Claremont McKenna and Pomona is your SAT I scores. The averages SAT scores at these two schools are over 2100.</p>

<p>P.S. Here's a link that shows what you need to know about the way the UC system computes the UC GPA (note that they cap the honors at 8 semester hours and don't count lab specialist or physical education or health courses, meaning the 4.59 W GPA is not equivalent to a UC GPA)</p>

<p>Also, keep in mind that if you will be playing a sport at these schools, your chances will go up from what I've estimated here.</p>
