Am I being realistic?

Chance Me / Match Me

<p>Right now I’m applying to Stanford, UC Berkeley (Haas), and USC (Marshall) as a junior transfer from a California Community College for fall of '08.</p>

<p>Major- Business (Econ for Stanford)
California Community college
Credits completed 47
Credits to complete prerequisites (Haas): 6 credits in Winter/19 credits in Spring
College GPA 4.0
Extracurricular: Student Body Government (Senator), AGS Honor Society, Community service (Red Cross Blood drives, Second Harvest Food Bank), Founder and President of Student Business Association, Creator/Developer of the student-run online textbook exchange program for my California Community College.
Work Experience: Experiential Marketing and Event Management experience (Independent contractor working through various agencies for clients including Google, AT&T and HP)</p>

<p>Other: I am doing all of this in 3 semesters (Very heavy course-load)
I did quite well in high-school, but I opted to attend an unaccredited religious institution for 3 semesters.</p>

<p>My GPA at the unaccredited religious college was 3.61. Will this hurt me significantly for Stanford? </p>

<p>SATs - 4 years ago: 670 Math 600 Verbal
- January 2008: I expect to easily score between 2100 and 2200. </p>

<p>Highschool
GPA 4.0 (unweighted).
I HAD NO AP courses offered at my school.(Yes it was a very small school- although above state average for standardized test scores)
I had very decent extra-curriculars in HS.
Shadowed state-senator/Featured in local news-articles 2 times
Volunteered in political campaigns/regional team leader and spokesperson
3 years varsity basketball/3 years varsity soccer</p>

<p>Give me an honest opinion. Is it even worth my time applying to Stanford assuming I get a 2150 on SAT? What about my chances for UCB and USC?</p>

<p>to answer your question, yes.
but i’m a senior in high school so…</p>

<p>I doubt if the unaccredited college will affect your UC chances much. They are going to look at the CC GPA the most. Haas is SUPER competitive but with a 4.0 you have a shot, as long as you meet ALL of the prerequisites. Good luck.</p>

<p>yeah, always be optimistic. Stanford might just accept u.</p>
