I know what my top schools are- Columbia, Georgetown, Brown, and Cornell. What are my chances of getting in to these schools? Also, more importantly what do you think are some universities I should really look at knowing my stats below?


3.75 at UCSB in a double major of Business Economics with emphasis in Accounting and Political Science.
Applying for Political Science or Goverment when transferring
-Internships with Deloitte, Wells Fargo and Wachovia.
-Researcher for a NSF 5 year project emphasized on the internets impact of social movements and political protests.
Head of University Misconduct in the Office of the Student Advocate. Those not familiar with this department, it helps students defend their cases when charged with violations i.e. cheating. It also helps mediate any situation that a student may have encountered with authorities at UCSB.
-Part of a Political Science research team focused on the impacts of Facebook when it comes to political knowledge v political participation.
-There are plenty of other things I have done, but these are the main ones.


My high school GPA is a weighted 4.0 while taking 6 AP classes. My SAT is a 1980 (Math 720 Writing 680 Reading 580), SAT II BIO 790 and SAT II MATH 720. My ACT score is a 30.

Also, I am looking to take my next two quarters off to go for a self-discovery experience. I am going to be in a Global Peace Corps program known as Buddhist Immersion. Here I will be teaching English to children and monks who wish to become multilingual lectures across the globe. I will also be attending many mediation retreats and living in the monastery.
