<p>To be frank, nothing really stands out about you, especially since you’re an Asian American from California. Your ECs aren’t very impressive either, although it would be helpful if you added a description of what they were. It would also help to know how many AP classes you took, and what scores you got on your AP tests.
In other words, unless you’re hiding something very important, such as some sort of hook (low income, first generation, etc.), I would say your chances aren’t very good, or at best, are average.</p>

<p>not sure if i agree with stele. you have shown that you are qualified- you have good ec’s, test scores, etc. not everyone that gets accepted “stands out”. there are a lot of well-rounded people that attend…and even some people that make you wonder WHY they got in…</p>

<p>all in all, you have a good chance. the main problem with these chance posts are that it’s impossible to judge because most of the people who apply are qualified.</p>

<p>hope that helped :)</p>
