<p>anyone? bump…</p>

3

<p>OOS and with those stats? You need to pull up your GPA and SAT. You might need to work harder and get stats above the average since you’re from OOS.</p>

<p>Your ECs look fine thought.</p>

4

<p>ec’s are fine. i pretty much did the same. LOL</p>

<p>sat’s …hmm… could you post the equivalent SAT range that was given to you??? i cannot tell you anything without that info.</p>

<p>the rest looks pretty strong. although, i would also like to know your community service. keep that in mind as well, if you got the time, though.</p>

<p>remember that another BIG factor of admissions is background, diversity, culture, and involvement in the community. beyond that, its up to you to come up with an butt kicking essay.</p>

<p>oh, and btw, it’s too early for you to start asking about your chances. you’re a sophmore?? projected classes??? and grades??? </p>

<p>if you need sound advice i would recommend to wait until your junior year. you never know what’ll happen.</p>

<p>good luck and keep it up. See ya at Cal.</p>

5

<p>your PSAT scores are kinda low…especially for OOS. You have to pull those up.</p>

6

<p>I know they are a bit low… :\ That’s something I will be working on with a tutor this summer. Keep in mind that I took them as a Sophomore with little or no preparation before the test. I’ll be better prepared for the test next October as a Junior.</p>
