Wanna give me an idea for where i stand?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm just curious as to what you guys out there think my chances are with the school's i've applied to. I go to a very competitive high school in california (one of the "public elite's" according to newsweek). Here are some of my stats (this is my first post so if you need more i guess just tell me):</p>

<p>GPA: 3.8 UW 4.0 W* (School only puts weight on AP/honors courses junior year and up)
*Also, i had a very tough junior year, there were 3 deaths in my immediate family that i made a note of in my application and which my counselor touched on in my recs</p>

<p>Bascially taken toughest schedule possible</p>

<p>ACT - 31 composite
SAT II- 750 U.S. 740 BIO</p>

<p>ECs:
Football (4 years, 2 year letterman)
Track (3, will be 4 years this year, 2 year letterman)
Various clubs, involved at school and community
student government
More specifics, but don't want to list...just more comm. service</p>

<p>Never actually saw my Recs, but both the teachers i asked for recs from said to me they wrote me "great recommendations</p>

<p>These are the schools i applied to, it'd be great if you guys could tell me where you think i'll get in:</p>

<p>UCs: Berkeley, LA, Davis, Irvine, Santa Cruz (in state)
George Washington U
American U
Occidental College
College of William and Mary (Out of state)
Cal Poly SLO</p>

<p>There in no particular order, so yeah.
Thanks!</p>

<p>UCs: Berkeley, LA--Slight Reach to Reach
Davis, Irvine--Match
Santa Cruz--Safety to Safe Match
George Washington U-Match
American U-Safe Match
Occidental College--Match
College of William and Mary --Match to Slight Reach
Cal Poly SLO--Match</p>

<p>Good variety of schools and levels of difficulty--meaning a good job by you in picking the schools you are interested in.</p>

<p>If your ECs are as good as you say they are, I'd say those schools are all within your reach.</p>

4

<p>UCs: Berkeley, LA-- Match with those SAT II's
Davis, Irvine-- Safe Match
Santa Cruz--Safety </p>

<p>Cal Poly SLO- Safe Match</p>

<p>This is one of the more impressive resumes I've come across. Nice job.</p>

<p>thanks guys, that's pretty reassuring.</p>

6

<p>any others have a say?</p>

<p>One of the few realistic lists on CC. This year has gotten particularly crazy. Especially with underqualified Asians applying to ivies (I'm Asian). Good luck and congratulations.</p>

<p>bump</p>

<p>UCs: Berkeley, LA--Slight Reach
Davis, Irvine--Safe Match
Santa Cruz--Safety to Safe Match
George Washington U-Safe Match/Match
American U-Safe Match
Cal Poly SLO--Safe Match</p>

<p>Kudos to you for having many realistic schools on your list, but I would look for some more reaches/high matches (if you are still a Junior)</p>

<p>Match at Cal and UCLA.</p>

<p>Davis and Irvine are low matches. GWU is a low match as well.</p>

<p>Cal Poly is a safety... It really is not difficult to get in. </p>

<p>Santa Cruz is a safety too. </p>

<p>I don't know anything about American though... or Occidental for that matter. I assume you won't have much trouble getting in. Your scores are strong for those institutions.</p>

<p>"Cal Poly is a safety... It really is not difficult to get in."</p>

<p>Depends on your definition of difficult. You need a 3.8 and a 1250, which still makes it selective. However, this applicant won't have a problem.</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Slight Reach
UCI/UCD: Safe Match
