UC, Duke, Cornell, JHU, Olin chance!

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I plan to go into biomedical engineering and possibly med school.</p>

<p>Chance me on each of these schools?
UCD, UCB, UCSD, UCI (I'm in-state)
Cornell U, Duke U, Johns Hopkins, Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering
I'd say my 4 private schools are decently fat reaches.</p>

<p>Stats:
SAT: 650CR, 750M, 730W (2130. this is my one-time score and superscore), essay 10
ACT: Math 33, Science 29, Writing 29 (essay 6), English 34, Reading 36
You'd think I were two different people if you compared my reading and essay scores for the SAT and ACT. I took them a month apart too...</p>

<p>GPA: 3.71 uw, 3.92 w</p>

<p>AP's:
Calc AB: 5
Stats: 4
Chem: 4
US History: 2 (ouch)
Eng Lang: 2 (big ouch)
Calc BC: planned
Bio: planned
Eng Lit: planned (I do not know why, but I'm much better at lit than lang)
Econ: planned</p>

<p>EC's:
Marching band - 4 years, section leader
Winterguard - 2 years
Math team - 3 years
Badminton - 2 years
Animanga club - 4 years, President</p>

<p>No major awards received or community service (15 hours is pitiful)</p>

<p>Misc:
Asian female
biotech independent research in senior year
biotech summer internship in 2008 at a local company</p>

<p>Your opinions?</p>

2

<p>Match - UCI, UCD
High match/low reach at UCSD (GPA)
Low reach at UCB </p>

<p>Your research and internship will definitely benefit your applications though.</p>

3

<p>Match- UCI UCD
Low Reach-UCSD
Reach- UCB and privates</p>

<p>I say reach at UCB because there are more applicants this year. While your GPA is good and your ACT/SAT scores are also in their ranges, I think there will likely be more of an emphasis on XC's this year. Your research and internship will help a lot, but you also seem a bit lacking in leadership positions.</p>

<p>Good luck! Chance me back? <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/633800-will-community-college-me.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/633800-will-community-college-me.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>well those are good stats for berkeley but i doubt that you could get into cornell or any of those other privates, especially olin.</p>

<p>70% for the UCs
50% for Berkeley
33.3% chance for those other privates(maybe duke is your best bet, theyre trying to raise their diversity)</p>

5

<p>i'm assuming you're applying to all the engineering schools at these colleges right?</p>

<p>UCD, UCB, UCSD, UCI (I'm in-state)- low-reach at UCB, match at UCSD, for sure in at ucd and uci</p>

<p>Cornell U-low-reach
Duke U-low reach
Johns Hopkins-low-reach
Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering-reach</p>

<p>Good Scores; Decent GPA; Not anything spectacular on the ECs or Service</p>

<p>Duke, Cornell, and JHU will be low reaches
You've got a good chance with UC and Olin</p>
