- I think you have a chance. So, kick some ass and get a nice interview suit!
- with that resume, its not a matter of what school will let you in, its a matter of what school will you allow them to let you join, good work.
- I would say you have excellent chances. I didn't do as much as you and I got into Columbia.
- Your chances are fantastically good for all three schools. Not to worry. You need a good counseler to take you through the process and make sure your covering letters, essays, etc etc are in excellent shape. I'm wondering why you're even asking with a background like yours.
- Wow, are you kidding me chica?? That's good girl. Way to go. I think there are lots of colleges want to bait you. It doesn't matter how good the UC is, it all depend on your major and find the college/UC has your major in it. Good luck! Well you don't need that, you're already have luck.
- you have a good chance of getting into any one of those Universities You could probably get merit based scholarships too.
- pretty good chance
- good....good luck!!!
- Sounds like your chances are good to me.
- wow..i would say you have great chances for all 3 schools : )..good luck!
- You have an excellent chance of being admitted to these schools. Your numbers all add up so you have done everything in your power (since college admissions it's not just about what you do, but what the college is looking for). Make sure you convey how you are unique and will contribute to each college's community--they want to know what YOU can do for THEM. Top colleges often reject valedictorians and students with perfect SATs because they do not stand out and make themselves seem like people with much potential beyond high school. I was accepted to Harvard this year with a 770/750/740 on the SAT Reasoning Test (M/CR/W) and a 770/760/710 on Literature, Spanish, Math II SAT Subject Tests. I am an Indian-American student with plenty of extra curriculars like Boy Scouts, Model UN, Key Club, NHS, etc. and even started my own non-profit. You have done all you can...continue to shine with your essays and interviews. One note--I got into Harvard but was rejected from U-Chicago...so you never know!
