<p>Very good chances at UCB, UCLA
Yale SCEA: Automatic High Reach</p>

<p>Yale SCEA means RD for other colleges (right?)
Brown, Penn, Chicago, Duke: Reach
NW and Cornell: Low Reach</p>

<p>Make sure you have killer essays. Otherwise you’ll just be another asian from California</p>

5

<p>I’d agree with 20more’s assessment. Add some more safety colleges.</p>

6

<p>What I your freshmen gpa for Yale? They don’t care if you self studied for aps. You are on the weaker ec spectrum. Good volunteering though.</p>

7

<p>Average ECs but not bad ECs, you’re obviously devoted to them.
Numbers are solid, maybe try taking the SAT 1 one more time(?), but at that high of scores the difference between 800 and 750+ is very slim (IMO).
Yale is automatic high reach for everyone, but don’t be discouraged.
The UC schools are automatic match.</p>

<p>Good luck!
Chance back?
