Will I be accepted into any of the following colleges? Yes or no?
I just recently finished my college application process so I have a fair amount of knowledge about what you are getting in to. I'm just about positive you will be accepted into all of your backups and Davis, Cal Poly and Irvine. They are all good schools and with your scores and GPA you will be accepted. UC San Diego is a toss up just because they are extremely impacted and a lot of kids want to go to San Diego. Berkeley and UCLA will be tough. I know of people with very good resumes and they were denied. In recent years, there have been record numbers of applicants applying to 4 year universities because a degree has become essential for a good career. So, I think that you have a chance of being accepted into UCLA and Berkeley, but that there is also a chance you will be denied. It is a toss up. Regardless, with your test scores and GPA, you will be accepted into the rest of the schools and have many great options. To strengthen your chances of being accepted, write GREAT personal statements. Your essays are what set you a part from the rest of the applicants. Many kids do not take the application essays seriously, but having been through the process, I strongly encourage you to dedicate enough time to write meaningful statements. Ask your family, friends and teachers to read and correct your essays to ensure you are putting your best foot forward.
