<p>Great Stats! I thing your in at almost all except UPenn (slight reach).
A lot depends on your essays as there are probably loads of students with similar stats applyin at the ivies...inspite of the fact that you dont need aid.</p>

<p>Why havent you applied at UC Berkeley? Youve got a great chance there.</p>

3

<p>Slightly weak GPA, good scores (except the writing), good ECs/awards.</p>

<p>Berkeley: slight reach (50-50) - high match, depending on essays
UCLA: high match - match (60-70%)
USC: match - safe match</p>

<p>You'll probably get into all but Penn and Rice. You have a strong UC GPA, which is essential for the UC schools. I'd be surprised if you weren't admitted. Rice is a reach and so is Penn CAS. I'd say it's a balanced list.</p>

<p>I don't see how you could have a 4.14 weighted, but a 4.29 UC GPA.</p>

6

<p>why not? I did not take any honor / AP's during my freshman year. Plus my grade sucked. I simply tried harder on my sophmore / junior year...</p>

7

<p>freshman grades I suppose? Good chance for all except UPenn</p>
