What are my Chances?

Schools I’m interested in : USC, UCI, UCSB, Pepperdine, UCSD, Stanford, UM, and

Gpa: 3.78 uw 3.81w
SAT : 1500
Race: Pacific Islander
Home-State: Hawaii
Income : no way in hell im getting any sort of financial aid lol… like 0%

Activities:

  • I have moved 4 times throughout high school. I moved after freshman year. Twice during my sophomore year and moved after my sophomore year to start my junior year. Moved from Cali to Hawaii
  • Homeless Kitchen 50+ hours (freshman year)
  • elderly center 50+ hours ( sophomore year)
  • tutoring peers at school 50+ hours (junior year)
  • I always felt passionate about help people and interacting, so it helped me decide what services I should do
  • I have played 2 sports at varsity level for 2 years
    -NHS Club
  • year round club for both sports.
  • tbh all this moving has affected myself and my gpa in a positive and negative way

Also, would getting a recommendation from a CFO or CEO of a top company help a little?
I’m planning on doing an internship at a health care company because I have connections there.

Thank you, any feedback helps :slight_smile:

You have pretty decent chances at all of these schools besides Stanford. Your hook really helps. A recommendation from a CFO or CEO of a top company would help if the letter was personal and highlighted your character

Thank you for your reply, really appreciate it.
