<p>assuming i do quite well on SATs and have a great essay (I am generally quite a good writer), what are my chances of getting in to, poly sci, pre-med, or engineering? How about for other UCs? </p>
<p>I'm out of state, FL. </p>
<p>I want to either do engineering undergrad and then go in to law so I can get in to that kind of field, or poli sci then law, or medicine. </p>

<p>ahhh, I was going to say slight reach until I scrolled down and saw that you are out of state. I would say high reach unless you do phenomenal on the SATs and rack up some amazing awards or something. But don't get discouraged and try to rock the personal statements (which will help you a bit)...Best of Luck...</p>
<p>Question: Pol*itical science, or poly*mer science?</p>
<p>Poli, sorry, </p>
<p>I always mess up on that :P.</p>
<p>Good ECs. (I got in out of state, and I had really plain ECs...) Try to do well on the SATs. If possible, try to raise your GPA a tiny bit, but it's good that your GPA shows improvement.</p>
<p>thanks katsy. </p>
<p>well if i get all A's in the first semester of 12th I'll have around a 3.83, which isn't too bad. </p>
<p>and also, would I have any chances of going to Stanford?</p>
<p>you'll probably get into berkeley. from what i know, if you are the type of person who is perceived as someone who "should get into a top school," you'll get into berkeley because they don't do any affirmative action, legacy crap which is a lot more influential that you think. I'm from out of state, had a 2100 on the sat's, a 740 math2 sat2, a 730 chem sat2, and a 4.0 uw 4.7 w gpa and i got in. you'll do fine. Stanford on the other hand has a highly political application process. if you want to get into stanford, start making connections now--trust me, i've been through the process and seen people who get in because of them with bad grades and seen people who get rejected (me) with seemingly good stats.</p>
<p>thanks guys - I really appreciate the help!</p>
