I think you have an excellent shot at most schools listed.

“So I’m applying to UC Berkeley, UCSD, UCLA, USC, UC Davis, UC Irvine, UCSB, Cal Poly SLO, University of Washington”
So what are your results so far? They are all out except Berkeley (well, don’t know about Washington). Are you actually asking about Harvard as well? Your stats are great… I think you’ll get into Berkeley, and your chance at Harvard is as good as anyone’s (which is to say, still not that high just because of sheer numbers, but as good as it gets).

If you’re not actually applying to Harvard, don’t use it as a clickbaity title. The people who are knowledgeable about Harvard may not be the people who are knowledgeable about UC Irvine or the University of Washington. The people who know your schools won’t know to click on the post, because it only says Harvard.

I don’t know any one admitted at Harvard who was not “really determined”. That said, while you are in the band of bring qualified, your scores and grades are nothing exceptional, especially applied to your demographic group. Harvard will still be a reach, your solid for the remaining schools.

Don’t worry about it, it’s just that, as you can see, it confused people haha.

14

Did you end up getting in or not? I believe most of these decisions have already come out.
