PLEASE HELP!!!
Hi, I am a senior now applying to Stanford, University of Florida, University of Virginia, University of Georgia, UCLA, and UC Berkeley all early action. I am nervous about my standing at these schools and I want some opinions on what you think my admission chances are:
ACT: 33
SAT Math Level 2: 720
President of my Student Government
All Season Varsity Athlete
A plethora of community Service Hours
Worked at a special needs school during the summer
Salutatorian of my graduating class
Science League
Math League
National Honors Society
School Newspaper
Took 8 AP classes
Have gotten all A’s so far for all four years of high school.
I am nervous because my school isn’t one of the top high schools in the country and I feel that these prestigious universities will just overlook my application that I have been cultivating for so long. I hope to hear some opinions soon! Thank you.
UCLA and UCB do not have early action only regular decision. What is your UC GPA capped weighted and Fully weighted? Intended major? Are you in-state for the UC’s or out of State?
Of your list, Florida and the UCs do not have early action; they just have early regular admission application deadlines (Nov 30 for the UCs and Nov 1 for Florida). What you provide indicates you may have a chance at all the ones listed but as to Stanford, no one who applies should ever assume any high chance of admission, and likewise for those two UCs if out-of-state. You should assure you are applying to a safety, such as your in-state public university if it is not one of those listed.
Congratulations on your HS achievements. A few questions/points:
What state do you live in? At some schools, OOS rates of admission are much lower than in-state, so that will dictate whether the school is a reach or match for you.
What is your budget?
Do you have other schools on your list, with 2-3 safeties and 3-5 matches? Ones that you would be happy to attend?
If your HS provides access to Naviance, use that to give you more information on admission history/chance.
