Do I still have a chance?

Can you tell us what state you live in, what you hope to study, and whether you will need to receive a significant amount of financial aid? The larger universities on your list vary in selectivity, based on the undergraduate school/department you apply to. I think Berkeley and UCLA are reaches, in any event. You might want to look at other UCs, if you can afford them. Your chances at NYU depend heavily on the school you plan to apply to. I’d say that the College of Arts & Sciences is a high-match/low-reach for you; Stern would definitely be a reach; Tisch is completely unpredictable, because the portfolio or audition counts for 50%. BC is also a high-match, as is USC (again, it depends on what you’re applying for). William & Mary is a low/mid-reach. I’d suggest adding a few more low-match and safe schools to your list: Pitt, Temple, Northeastern, et al.
