This is what my resume looks like.
Please let me know what you guys think of my chances.
What are my chances of getting into Santa Clara and UCs?
Thanks!
And I can also chance people if they like</p>
<p>Ok, I’ll be honest, you asked for it. High and probably mid UCs will all be reaches. USC, UT and UIUC are all reaches. 3.5 GPA and a 25 ACT does not get you into those schools. Your lower schools like UC Riverside, SJ State and Cal Poly are more matches. To get into your reach schools, you are going to need some of the most amazing essays and recs in the world. Basically to the level of making the admissions officer just sit there for a day thinking about what brilliance you just wrote. In other words, you’re probably going to one of your match schools.</p>
<p>Your ECs are great, but your scores lack something to be desired … consider some of the lower UC schools and some relatively easy to get into private schools! But don’tI be discouraged! You neverjust know unless you apply! Best of luck!</p>
