<p>So yeah...I'll list out college again ^^</p>

<p>Harvard
Yale
Columbia
Cornell
UC Berkeley
USC
UCLA
NYU
UCSD
UCI</p>

<p>HALP!!!! AND IF ANYBODY HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR ME PLS TELL ME CUZ I WOULD LUVVVV THEM</p>

<p>Harvard - crapshoot
Yale - crapshoot
Columbia - reach
Cornell - low reach
UC Berkeley - reach
USC - high match
UCLA - match
NYU - high match/low reach
UCSD - match
UCI - match</p>

<p>I'd say that you might want to work on EC focus, that and increase your SAT a bit. But it all looks fairly impressive :)</p>

<p>[thread=546604]There ya go![/thread]</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>CMON GUYS is my title rly dat bad? o.o too bad the caps didnt work. bleh.</p>

4

<p>Harvard -high reach
Yale-High reach
Columbia - reach
Cornell - low reach
UC Berkeley - reach
USC - high match
UCLA - match
NYU - match
UCSD - match if you are in state
UCI - safety?</p>

5

<p>thanks guys! anybody else? =D</p>

6

<p>i'm not certified to chance you, but i wouldn't say that UCB is a reach when you have a good SAT and GPA and your instate. i would think maybe closer to low reach.</p>

7

<p>yay thanks! =D</p>

8

<p>I'd work on upping your SATs and focusing your ECs. Honestly, things you haven't won significant awards in you can drop for senior year. And even in a competitive school, your rank's a little shabby.</p>

<p>Harvard- Ehhhh...definitely high reach.
Yale- Ditto
Columbia- Ditto
Cornell- Reach
UC Berkeley- Reach
USC
UCLA
NYU
UCSD
UCI</p>

<p>Can't speak to the rest.</p>

<p>Harvard - reach

<p>we're SAT score twins (but you did better)!!! haha. the critical reading section just killed me.</p>

<p>Harvard - you never know
Yale - reach
Columbia - reach
Cornell - low reach
UC Berkeley - match
USC - match
UCLA - match
NYU - match
UCSD - in
UCI - in</p>

<p>Good luck fellow Asian!!</p>

<p>and me -- <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/547444-so-here-goes-again-i-changed-my-mind-chance-me.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/547444-so-here-goes-again-i-changed-my-mind-chance-me.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

11

<p>thx hahaha i hope ur right crystal cuz i really like your predictions xD (i really dont expect to get into any ivies =P)</p>

12

<p>Wooohoo. Nice to see another IB candidate here. Your SAT IIs are excellent and while I'm jealous of your SAT, they maybe low for Yale and Harvard (though, they continue to surprise me with admissions =)). Anywho:</p>

<p>Yale and Harvard: High reaches.
Columbia: Reach
Cornell: Low Reach/possible match
UC Berkeley: Ditto Cornell
USC: Match
UCLA: Match
NYU: Match/possible safety
UCSD: safety
UCI: safety</p>

<p>Chance me please? <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/547320-chances-reccommended-safeties-please.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/547320-chances-reccommended-safeties-please.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

13

<p>yay! thx hahahah</p>

14

<p>bumppp for a couple more chance ^^</p>

15

<p>In at NYU, UCSD, UCI. Slight reach to high match for Berkeley and UCLA. Good shot at the rest.</p>

<p>Why aren't you applying to Stanford, if you're in California? You'd have a good shot there as well, I'd say.</p>

16

<p>I don't see why you wouldn't be in for Berkeley/UCLA, but if anything, low reach and match for rest of the UCs.</p>

<p>If you're interested in science, I think you have a very good shot at Johns Hopkins personally. Not sure with your EC interests though..</p>

17

<p>The ivies may be a bigger reach for you but you are a match to the other schools. For senior year, I would suggest focusing on a few ec's. Remember, Common App only requests the 7 ec's that are most important to you, so pick a few and really dedicate yourself to them.</p>

18

<p>I'm actually thinking of going undecided for my major: i'm at a stalemate between english and computer science. but science is a definite no for me haha. no talent nor desire for science. =P</p>

<p>i really only wanted to apply to a couple of ivies, but perhaps i will try for stanford ^^ makes me happy that you think i have a chance! haha</p>

19

<p>If science is a definite no for you, why computer science? It's very much a science--you will have to get heavy into math, theory of computation, and electronics (depending on the program, you may have to take electrical engineering classes, as well as physics ones in mechanics, circuits, the like). It even has "science" in the name. :p</p>

20

<p>lol sorry i wasn't specific enough; i meant bioengineering-type. i understand that comp sci has a lot of science involved, but i mostly meant that i didn't want to become a doctor or anything. if i happen to major in computer science, i guess i will have to face my worst fear though =( haha. i love computers and coding though so i guess it'll be worth it? @.@</p>

<p>dis is why i remain undecided LOL.</p>
