Lesley answers:
Although you’re a strong candidate, you may have trouble getting into some of the schools on your list. It’s hard to get into Berkeley and UCLA if you’re from out-of-state unless you’re a recruited athlete or exceptional student. It’s also very hard to get into Yale, Columbia and Chicago simply because they’re so competitive. You’ll be competing against students with higher GPAs, higher test scores and tougher curriculums. (You’ll also be competing against your own classmates if they are applying to the same schools.) You might have a better chance of getting into Dartmouth or Penn (as long as you aren’t applying for Penn’s business school). Georgetown and George Washington would be good fits for you since you seem to be interested in politics. You’d be surrounded by other students with the same interests and have lots of opportunities for internships and making contacts. You should be able to get into GW, but you’ll want to apply to Georgetown via early decision if it’s your top choice. The U. Of Washington would also be a good choice if you’re hoping for a political career based in Washington. You could do your undergrad work there and then go to the Ivies, GW or Georgetown for a graduate degree.

Lesley answers:
You should be able to get into your top four without much of a problem. For your final five, those schools typically accept 15% of applicants or less. Considering most have very similar credentials–also higher GPAs for the most part–i’d give you a fifteen percent shot, same as all other applicants.

I think yes but you should try to get a higher GPA. I got accepted at UCLA n i have a 4.13. My scores for Sat are 1600(average) n ACT 21. I have some extracurriculars awards n community service but not as much as you do. That will help you a lot but remember to raise your grades try to get straight As from now on.
