Another what are my chances thread? PLEASE HELP

<p>Please let me know what my chances are. Thanks. </p>

<p>My stats: </p>

<p>I attend a strong public school in the east coast. School doesn’t rank.
SAT I: 2080 (690 CR 710 M 670 WR)
SAT II: 740 (US), 710 (BIO), 750 (Math2)
AP: Bio 5, Art 5</p>

<p>GPA: 4.1 (weighted), 3.9 (unweighted)
Taken mostly honors, advanced courses in high school </p>

<p>Enthnicity: Pacific-Islander Female </p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
Track and Field (11th-12th), Asian Club, Model UN Club, American Red Cross Association Club, Student Senate- Juniors(11th-member), Seniors (12th- Secretary), lots of community service, volunteering at library, park; CSF, Mentor. </p>

<p>Schools in Mind:
USC (but i hear the area is bad)
UC schools: Berkley, LA, Irvine, SD
Georgetown EA
Duke
Cornell
NYU
John Hopkins
UPENN
Vanderbilt
Northwestern
Dartmouth
Carnegia Mellon</p>

<p>I’d say USC and NYU are matches.</p>

<p>Please understand that no one can be too certain with chances for the top 25 schools. It seems like the “luck of the draw” at times. Browse around CC if you don’t understand what I mean… particularly official decision threads.</p>

<p>kokomokiwi:</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Reach (out of state)
UCSD: Slight Reach (out of state)
UCI: Match (out of state)</p>

<p>Amina:</p>

<p>When u say “luck of the draw”, most ivy schools and alike depend on ur essays, recs, and interviews to get u accepted if ure average (according to IVY standards). the reason why it is luck is some schools might interpret ur essay one way and some might another. just depends on the person who reviews ur application :).</p>

<p>I also said “seems” and “at times.” :)</p>
