You seem to be in pretty good shape though your extracurriculars are good and your SAT II scores are very good....you seemed to have scored well on your AP's too
Good luck! |

Date: July 18th, 2008 1:22 AM Author: wild ocher area coldplay fan Yeah it is.. but also knows hard workers. Their average SAT IS 2115 which is very close to what you have. I think you'd get in. Aim higher, alot of the safeties you have are "California Safeties". "California Safeties" are shitty unknown to the world UC's that have tightwad admissions BECAUSE some people in California would hate to go anywhere else. Don't let that make you a dud. Check out the Northeast and Midwest. For a woman's college, you want to apply to Wellesley and Smith. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=835022&forum_id=1#9984474) |
