Hey, I’m a new member guys. I have been coming here for a while but finally started an account.

I’m planning on applying to selective colleges but I feel like I have no chance. i might just do community college transfer.

Planning on applying to: Stanford, UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UCLA, UCSD, Columbia, NYU, University of Chicago, Boston ?University, UPenn

SAT: 2110

AP scores still coming in

ECS:
4 yrs Speech and Debate, highly involved, became vp junior year and president for senior year.
Interned for Ballot Initiative (Political Campaign) was awarded for being most productive volunteer
Got accepted into a very selective leadership program in California, only 44 get in in the state.
Volunteered and helped at a local mosque during ramadan and other events. (timmy is just a nickname)
Was involved in founding a youth group at the mosque where we discuss pressing issues and philosophical issues to do with religion.
Have always found religion interesting (considering majoring in philosophy) and I have studied and memorized parts of the Quran. Memorized like half almost.
Still looking for summer volunteer work.

Recs: I feel like they’ll be alright, but not exceptional.
Essay questions: I’m not the best writer

Your SAT score might be a reach for schools like Stanford and UChicago, but your extracurriculars look interesting

If I retake the SAT and get say a 2250, then what do you think are my chances?

Google the Common Data Set for each school you are interested in and go to Section C to chance yourself. That’s where you’ll find the stats for admitted students broken down. Other sections give insight into what the school cares about, like demonstrated interest, etc…

You have a lot of reaches. Whether or not your score is 2110 or 2250, a majority of your schools besides UC Davis, UCSD, and BU are heavy reaches. Add a safety school or two in there somewhere.
