<p>List of Schools (In order of importance):
USC
UCB
UCLA
UCSD
UCI
UCR </p>

<p>No financial aid, my parents make way too much money for that....
Are my aims too high? Please be honest with your critiquing.</p>

2

<p>wow you have a great chance for getting to any of the colleges, whats your major</p>

3

<p>Undecided for now, but I might end up doing Political Science. I do plan on completing Pre-med, and my major will probably end up as the subject which I enjoy the most in my first year.</p>

4

<p>oh please, you’re probably in at all of them. ;D</p>

<p>LA has been accepting seemingly randomly though, at least in the last year.
no Berkeley?</p>

5

<p>automatically in at UCR, UCI, UCSD with numbers alone.
Your extracurriculars look pretty strong so I would say very high chances at USC depending on how good you are at writing your apps. UCLA is a tossup for everyone but I think you have a very good shot, that GPA is through the roof.</p>

6

<p>Darnit, this is from an old post back when I was afraid of going to Berkeley because I was afraid of becoming a “tree-hugging liberal homosexual.” Yeah, I’ve met some crazily idiotic people in my life, and that gave Berkeley a negative connotation in my eyes… My views have since changed, so add Berkeley to the list I guess.</p>

7

<p>match at basically all of them
youre set, really.</p>

12

<p>Assuming you are in Cali, i’d say chances of all are really high</p>

<p>70-90%</p>

13

<p>yeah i am in california, and an indian immigrant hopefully that should help:)</p>

14

<p>Funnypunjabi, your GPA is good, but your ACT score needs to go up by a lot. You might be given some leeway considering you’re an immigrant, depending how long you’ve been here. I’d say that if you could hit 30ish (yeah study your butt off lol) you’d basically be a match for any of those except for Stanford. Stanford is an incredible reach for anyone, but if you can elaborate enough on your EC’s and yourself as a unique individual, you might have a shot.</p>

15

<p>oh my post was referring to lucretinth</p>

16

<p>my bad, rastafarian</p>

17

<p>Its actually true that as soon as you step foot on UCB’s campus you hug a tree and turn homosexual. Seriously man? You actually believed that?</p>

<p>You should be in everywhere, whats your capped GPA?</p>

18

<p>thanks lucretinth, any advise to get a better act score, my lowest score was for english a 16 its sad hopefully being diverse helps in college apps</p>

19

<p>I would give you a good chance at any of 'em. especially with that ACT!</p>

<p>chance back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/819719-chance-me-stanford.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/819719-chance-me-stanford.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Well afc10ns, I was exaggerating a bit in my post, but I feared attending a college with a liberal reputation. Part of this was just the environment i grew up in and the fact that I wasn’t really exposed to different types of people, but that’s all behind me now. </p>

<p>My UC GPA is 4.08 btw</p>
