Reach at UPenn (15%). Good shot at Berkeley (50/50.) Probably in at NYU and Emory with good essays (65-75%.) I don't know about UVa.

cheeks

I say reach at Berkeley, fair shot at upenn, good shot at NYU/emory/maybe UVa?

GPA and SATs are too low for berkeley esp since you are oos

misterreach

i think you've got great ECs, but standardized tests are low for upenn. nyu (assuming not stern) and berkeley are more than matches.

ur oos but if u write stellar essays u have a shot..also up ur sat1 up a little maybe 2150+...

aztennisplaya1

also, plz comment on if i have a automatic chance of getting in to one or more of the schools. that would really help

tastyb33f

just apply and see what happens.

to be honest, you need to raise your SATs to be competitive at UPenn and Cal. For UPenn, im gonna say about 2250+ and at Cal i estimate it to be more of 2150+. Your extracurrics are nice for privates, but they wont really help you that much for publics while ur OOS status will hurt you too. I say 1/10 chance at Upenn and and 1/3 chance for Cal unless you get recruited for tennis or something.

I would say most likely in at all the others. Raise SATs by say 100 pts (not too hard with a bit of studying/luck :P) to assure that.

Do you really need more opinions on whether you'll get in? Just do the best you can.

aztennisplaya1

yes i do need more opinions

tastyb33f

1) There is no such thing as an "automatic in" for a school. There's always a bit of a crapshoot.

2) You really don't need any more opinions. You already know that you're a stellar candidate; you're just fishing for attention and ego-boosting responses now.
