Chances?

<p>White female junior, planning to major in Astrophysics
Competitive public high school in California
Academic GPA: 3.5 UW/ 4.1 W
UC A-G GPA: 3.7 UW/ 3.9 W
A-G with no honors/AP caps GPA: 3.67 UW/ 4.26 W
High School doesn’t rank, probably top 10%
APs: US History and Chemistry completed, English Literature, Calculus AB and Economics next year
Taken Physics, Astronomy and World History at local community college
Significant upward trend from sophomore year to junior year</p>

<p>SAT Reasoning: 2100 (740 CR, 710 M, 650 W)
SAT II: US History 730, Chemistry and Math II not taken yet.
ACT: 33, possibly 34 upon retake</p>

<p>Dance Team + Studio dance classes (large time commitment, but no leadership position)
1 ASB Leadership position and 1 Class Council position
Hopefully a part time job</p>

<p>My top choice is Pomona, also looking at USC, UCLA, Columbia, NYU, all UCs, Cal Poly, University of San Francisco, Scripps, Barnard and Occidental</p>

<p>I think you have very good chances at NYU. I don’t know too much about the other schools. Best of luck!</p>

<p>I think you would get into all UC’s other than UCB and UCLA (but they are not out of the question), Scripps, Barnard, UCSF, Oxy and Cal Poly. Reasonable shot at USC and NYU. I think your rank and scores are both too low for Pomona and Columbia.</p>

<p>thank you!</p>

<p>Try Harvey Mudd as well.
USF (not UCSF - grad school) would probably offer you a University Scholarship.
Don’t hesitate to apply to Pomona - you have a slight chance, but if you don’t apply, you’ll have no chance.</p>
