What Are My Chances Please Help

<p>I'm kind of scared about my chances please tell me what you think. Here are my stats so far...</p>

<p>GPA: (here is where im most worried about...its pretty low for where i wanna go to school) 3.8 unweighted; 4.1 weighted</p>

<p>SAT I: 2400
SAT II: math IIC, bio, us history all 800</p>

<p>schools: columbia, upenn, georgetown, uchicago, cornell, cal</p>

<p>please tell me what you think honestly because im really hesistant to apply to these schools if i cant get in. thanks once again!</p>

<p>All depends on your essays.</p>

<p>Your scores are great, and your gpa is perfectly fine. Is cal caltech? Because Caltech cares greatly about math/science grades only, and with your good test scores, they'll most likely accept you.</p>

<p>thanks for the input. cal as in uc berkely
but im still worried about my gpa...sigh</p>

<p>You really need to pick out a safety or two. I am not saying that you won't get into your other choices but find a safety so you have some backup.</p>

<p>When you say "hesitant about applying"...aren't the application dates for these schools passed? If these are the only ones you have/or are applying to, I agree with ^^, you need some safeties.</p>

<p>Your stats look alright to me. It also depends on your extra-curricular activities, awards, community involvement, etc. As some people have noted, you should probably have a couple safeties just in case.</p>

<p>You have great scores and your GPA is great as well. What's about your rank and EC's and awards?</p>

<p>THANKS FOR REPLYING GUYS :)
well im a junior so i havent actually applied yet...that list of schools up there is just a list of places im thinking about applying early admission at...except i have no clue which one im gonna choose. most likely it will be the school that i have a better chance at since i like them all. my school doesnt rank</p>

<p>here are some of me ECs...cant remember them all though:
class prez past two years
prez of environmental club
rep/delegate on student advisory board for 14th district
volunteer for past 3 yrs
lab intern at uc berkely for 2 years (bio)
violin 10 years
guitar (except self-taught haha does that count??) 4 years
CYS (california youth symphony) 4 years
debate 3 years
theatre 4 years
theatre company 2 years</p>

<p>not too impressive but oh well all i thnk of</p>

<p>doggies:</p>

<p>Assuming you are a California resident,
UCB: Safe Match</p>

<p>ur gpa is like mine in high school :D 3.8 uw 4.1 w hehe that means u didn't take lots of honors / ap /ib hehe. But ur SAT scores are crazy.</p>

<p>columbia (match/reach)
upenn (match/reach)
georgetown (match)
uchicago (match)
cornell (match/reach)
cal (match)</p>

<p>If you're not sure which of those schools you like best, then I suggest not applying to any of those ED schools (Columbia, Cornell, UPenn, I think) and just apply EA.</p>

<p>Your scores are great, and it's nice that you've gotten all the SAT stuff out of the way. Your ECs aren't amazingly spectacular, but you're obviously very involved. </p>

<p>But it'll also depend on your recs and essays.</p>
