<p>Also, the summer before my junior year, I traveled to Pakistan's Kashmir region for a week and did earthquake relief work, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In addition to providing assistance to the volunteer doctors there, I also wrote a 20-page research paper on the lack of breastfeeding in the region and its effects upon the children of the region. It hasn't been published or anything, but it's entirely my work and I'm just wondering if it would be possible for me to submit this as a supplement to my application.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Stanford EA reach for everyone
HYP reach for everyone
Georgetown SFS match
Duke slight reach
Penn Wharton reach
Columbia slight reach/match
Dartmouth slight reach/match
UC's match to all</p>

<p>Decent SAT's although raising these will definitely help.
Good GPA and good rank. EC's are decent. Everything will depend on essays, recs, interview, and luck (obviously). What awards have you won? What part did you play in the "helped raise $xxxx" EC's? Were you just like a member, did you run most of it, etc? Also, being Indian and being from California will hurt for most of your colleges.</p>

<p>Please chance me:</p>

<p>I sorta agree with naderboy2002, but I think that a lot of the UC's would be more like safeties.</p>
