<p>What are my chances?</p>

<p>I’d say your chances are pretty strong. What other colleges are you considering?
Good luck! :)</p>

<p>I wouldn’t say it’s pretty strong. Your SAT, bad junior grades, and the lack of leadership experience and awards hurt your chances pretty badly. In terms of GPA, the last thing you want to see is a declining trend - as it is in your case.</p>

<p>Keep Oxy as a high-match and maybe reach if you don’t have good recs and essays. That said, you really should do your research in working on your “Why Oxy” supplement to get a better chance. </p>

<p>*Yup Oxy is one of my match schools too.</p>

<p>Good luck. Maybe we’ll see each other there, if all my reaches/matches fail.</p>

<p>Are my chances really that bad because when I looked, the average gpa was about 3.6 and my sat score was about average there too.</p>

<p>Also I have leader ship experience in
Red Cross (Executive Board Member for 2 years)
Boy Scouts (Troop Patrol Leader for 1 year) (Staff for 2 Years)</p>

<p>I was also considering Johns Hopkins (Legacy) as my reach school and UCLA and Berkley as high target schools. Do you guys have any suggestions for other target schools for me? I will be majoring somewhere in mathematics for medical school.</p>
