<p>That's pretty much everything about me. Can anybody point out weaknesses so that I can improve before apps?</p>

<p>Umm don’t put stuff on your app that you didn’t do? Also, you need to take some SAT IIs for some of those schools.</p>

3

<p>I am taking Chemistry, Physics, Math, and US history SAT II between now and October…</p>

<p>Does getting accepted to those programs count for nothing?</p>

4

<p>1) Stanford - reach
2) MIT - low reach
3) UC Berkeley - match
4) Columbia - low reach
5) UCLA - low match
6) Princeton - reach
7) UCSD - safety</p>

5

<p>Stanford: Reach
MIT: Reach
Berkeley: Match
UCLA: Match
Princeton: Reach
UCSD: Low match</p>

<p>I kind of expected UVA based on your username… try UIUC or GA Tech for a safety.</p>

6

<p>Yes, getting accepted to summer programs you aren’t going to means nothing. Do not include them on your app</p>

7

<p>You may talk about your summer programs experience in your essay. You have great chances for all the UCs particularly UCSD. The other ones are low reach. What is your UW GPA in 4.0 scale?</p>

8

<p>The Ivy league level schools on your list are low reaches. I wouldn’t bank on getting accepted to one, but it is a definite possibility.
UC Berkely a high math, UCLA a math-low match, UCSD a safety.</p>

<p>Please chance me if you have some time!</p>

<p>My unweighted GPA is a 4.0</p>
