<p>I’m thinking about majoring in business, but will probably apply undeclared/pre-business administration.</p>

<p>What are my chances at:
Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, UCI, USC, UPENN, Stanford, Princeton, and Yale?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>To be honest UPenn, Stanford, Princeton and Yale are out of the question; you extracurriculars are pretty generic, especially for Asian Male. The UCs and USC, though, you will have a very good chance. (match to high match)</p>

3

<p>You should get into Berkeley and UCLA. UCSD/UCI are safeties. I don’t know about USC. UPenn,Stanford,Princeton, and Yale are quite unlikely I’d think.</p>

4

<p>Strong GPA, good scores, good ECs, somewhat weak honors/awards.</p>

<p>Berkeley: high match - match
UCLA: match
UCSD: safety
UCI: safety
USC: match - safe match</p>

<p>any sports???</p>

<p>Nah, marching band was basically my sport.</p>

<p>Thanks for the opinions so far.
Any more would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Might want to look at some good East Coast LAC’s like Holy Cross-near Boston. HC has very strong alumni network and its athletic program is in the highly regarded Patriot League.(hc plays Harvard,Dartmouth,Yale and Brown).</p>
