<p>So, what is your UW GPA? 3.25-ish? With a 3.25/34/2200 you have virtually no chance at Stanford, Cornell or USC. Your best shot at UCLA, Berkeley and UCSD is to be from an underrepresented zip code (I don’t know for sure if the UCs do this, but many state universities have targets by zip code. So if you’re from some middle of nowhere town in California it helps to make up for the low GPA, but check with your GC on this, I still doubt it overcomes a 3.2-ish GPA). I don’t know enough about the other schools to comment.</p>
<p>Conflictedb3, no, the truth is that everyone doesn’t have the same chance at all schools. The links below show that your odds get worse the further away you are from the mid-50%; the final page of the Stanford pdf tells you that with an UW GPA below 3.75 it’s virtually impossible to get in. To quote Damon Runyon, “The race is not always to the swift or the fight to the strong, but that’s the way to bet.”</p>
