<p>UCB/UCLA: Slight Reach/Match
UCSD: Match
UCD: Safe Match</p>

5

<p>low chances in princeton</p>

6

<p>you can shoot higher than the UC’s… you amazing academic record coupled with mediocre test scores shows a rare work ethic almost any school would want. So, I think you have as good of a chance as anyone at Stanford/Princeton.</p>

7

<p>no problems with UC’s but princeton stanford and brown… i’d say fair stance</p>

8

<p>ooops, i just read that your family has low income, so…
i say you start a job or look for any type of scholarship that will help you pay for
college (i.e. stanford, brown princeton, = $$$$$$$$$)</p>

<p>Spanish is considered white and is European.</p>

<p>Filipinos aren’t Hispanic, but are Asian. Many claim Spanish ancestry, but there was a small amount of Spaniards occupation during the time.</p>

15

<p>I’m not sure what to say about this…bump…</p>

16

<p>u know i’ve realized something after getting deferred and reading bunch of acceptees’ essays. It’s really not the scores. It’s YOU that counts. i know this sounds cliche but i’m serious. Write ur essay really well in a convincing manner and i’m sure that u will get admission. Score say one thing about u but ur essay can say a lot more about u. Don’t miss the opportunity. Good luck!</p>

17

<p>HelllOOOOO why did u not take the AP Calc exam?</p>

18

<p>Because I’m taking the class this year as a Senior and I am going to take in MAY.</p>
