Chances at UCs and Stanford

[Rishabh87]

<p>What are my chances at the UCs and Stanford EA?
SAT I: 1450 760M 690V
SAT II: Bio-M 640
Math 1C 710
Writing 710
APs: Biology 4
Chemistry 4
Spanish Lang 3
US History 4</p>

<p>Currently taking: AP Calculus AB, AP Physics B, AP English Lit
Rank: 1 of 330
GPA: 4.0 unweighted 4.4 weighted for UCs
UC ELC Student (top 4 % of high school)
ELC students had 50% admit rate at LA and 63% at Cal last year
Taken all honors and APs possible at a fairly decent school (top ranked in my county and highest API score)</p>

<p>ECs:
3 years varsity tennis on a good team(will be 4 this year)
CSF Treasurer (2yrs)
NHS
Natl Merit Commendation
100+ Comm. Service Hours
3 yrs of band
About 8 clubs throughout HS
Religious Group Leader (More Comm. Service Here)
Currently job shadowing a doctor and doing comm. service at convalescent center
Tutoring math students at the library (much time spent here)
...I think I have more, but I cant think of them now</p>

<p>I'm honestly not expecting to get into Stanford, but I'm hoping on Berkeley and UCLA. I have guarenteed admission for Santa Barbara and Irvine, so it seems like I pretty much have to only worry about Cal, LA, and SD.</p>

<p>Also, I am thinking of doing the Math IIC test in December for the UCs. I have an A in Calc and had an A in Precalc and it sounds like I should be able to do well on this test. Should I take it to improve my UC application?</p>

<p>Thanks for your responses</p>

<p>UCs = good match
Stanford = within reach</p>

<p>Rishabh87:</p>

<p>UCLA/UCB: Match
UCSD: Safe Match
All other UCs: Safety
Stanford: Slight Reach</p>

<p>Ummmm Flopsy, here we go again. How is Stanford a slight reach with a 1450 and average ec's? Is there a George W Bush junior here?</p>

[gamingurux]

<p>I have to agree with brady. Unless Rishabh87 is native american, black or hispanic he (or she) does not have much of a chance at Stanford. (Sorry about third person)</p>

[brady]

<p>I don't want to make Flopsy feel bad, but I'm new to this web site and I'm wondering are we supposed to be nice or honest? Trust me, my college counselor does not do the nice thing. Not a 1550 wunderkind? Don't bank on Stanford. UCs are easier but Berkeley isn't even safe for a 1450 anymore. So what are the rules here?</p>

[Anthony249]

<p>a 1500s for SAT score would pretty much secure UCs. A 1500+ on SATs would put you into the serious competative level for stanford. However with your score, I would apply for sure.</p>

[Rishabh87]

<p>I was pretty much thinking of Stanford as a reach, so I'm not bothered by this and I also think that Cal, and UCLA are matches. Stanford is not even my first choice, and I probably would not go if accepted. I pretty much have to write a good essay to get in to the UCs.</p>

<p>humm i really dont kno how to interpet this, you have a high gpa but your scores dont really corrospond with your rank. you may make it into cal depending on your major, and mabe UCLA. all the other ucs your in. really dont count on stanford unles you have an uncle on the admissions committe. I think you will get into cal and la though due to elc status and high gpa.</p>
