I think you have a good shot. You've got some great ec's and awards, anyway. A friend of mine got in with scores similar to yours, and less impressive ec's. Also, it helps that you're not from Texas...Good luck

Wow. It took some time for you guys to respond. I was surprised that anyone responded at all. I thought this thread was dead until today....
Of course a lot of things changed- took at my profile for more information.
My GPA is a ~4.2.

Honestly I think you need to bump your sat score about 50 points...apart from that i think u look great ...please post your SAT2's....just my opinion

By Ecnerwalc (Ecnerwalc) on Tuesday, August 24, 2004 - 10:33 pm: Edit

That's true. I'm working on my sati... expecting at least a 50-100 point increase, maybe even more if I do as well as I did on my practice exams.
Satii: writing 760, iic 740, chem 730.

i looked at your college list...which looks great....but I just think you should have a couple more backups...b/c the UC's (exspecially LA and Berkeley can be very fickle) do funny things in admissions some time. Georgia Tech is probably a great back up, but I'd personally feel better with more than one backup....just my opinion

ACtually I do. Prstats don't list a lot of the state universities such as UA, UW, and UTs. I couldn't put them on my list.
