<p>Can anyone give me their opinions and evaluation my chances? Based on my own conclusions, I don't think I should even apply and waste my money. Any suggestions?</p>
<p>High School
GPA: 3.0
SAT: 960
SATII: Never took any
EC: Drum Major and Vice President of my 120 member marching band
^ As you can tell, I didn't really try too much in HS and worried about partying more than school..</p>
<p>Currently at my California Community College
Major: Sociology
GPA: 4.0
Units: 68 semester the Spring prior to transfer
Major Preps: Will complete after Fall Semester
TAP (UCLA TRANSFER ALLIANCE PROGRAM): Certified
IGETC: Will be certified the Spring prior to transfer
EC: Honors Leadership Team, Honors Ambassador, AGS, PTK, Honors Scholar, Deans list
Work: 15-20 Hours a Week
Letters of Recs: Already know a couple professors including my honors director who is willing to write me excellent recs.
Interesting Background: Lost a parent in 6th grade which led to several hardships which changed me into the man I am today. I will definitely write about how that has changed me and made me into a responsible grown up at a very young age.</p>
<p>What do you guys think of my chances at any of the Ivy Leagues? Based on my own feelings, I think that my chances are basically 0% at all of them due to my extremely low SAT scores.</p>
<p>Any kind of feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated. </p>
<p>PS: I know I should really retake my SAT's but I just do not have the time. With my 5-6 classes per semester coupled with my work (might get more hours because coworker recently quit), and my EC provides very little time to study the SAT's.</p>
