What do you think my chances of getting into these schools is?

I'll do the ones I'm aware of. Stanford: No, it's Ivy League level. Your SAT might be able to squeeze in on the bottom percentile, but that's usually reserved for the athletes. The GPA may look a bit low for them, considering they only take 4.0's from the hardest courses available. UCLA: Yeah, I think you can get in. USC: I think you can get in. Your SAT looks good, mine is 1920, so you probably have around 40-50 more points in each section than I do, putting you near the middle of their charts.

USC and Pepperdine are possible. UCSB is a huge reach. The others are not possible. This answer is based on the GPA being unweighted. Be aware of the very religious atmosphere and compulsory weekly chapel attendance at Peppedine. The posting of entrance requirements online is not very helpful for answering questions like this one as actual admission requires that the student greatly exceed the minimum requirements.

I can really only tell you my experiences for USC, pepperdine, Ucsb and ucsd. I just got into ucsb, waitlisted for pepperdine, rejected from ucsd and usc. i had a 3.8 weighted gpa, many extracurriculars, 1830 sat, mostly honors classes and 3 ap classes, i took up to precalc and ap stats and no math my senior year. it seemed very unlikely that i was going to get into ucsb because my stats are a lot lower than their average but i am almost positive my essays and extracurricular activities are what got me accepted. i cant really say for any of these schools because you just never know. but obviously ucla and ucsd are a high reach because they admit students mostly based off of their gpa and sat. while your sat score is good, that is probably around the average for people admitted or below average. your gpa is definitely below average for those schools as well. but it could be a lot higher weighted so that is good. i dont mean to get you down but you should know ahead of time that it is a reach for you. they are very selective schools but dont be bummed if you dont get in because you want a school that accepts you for who you are, not only your statistics. To get into the other schools you should be okay as long as you have extra curricular activities that make you unique from others and define who you are as a person. write impressive essays that make you stand out from the crowd and you should be good. Good luck! :D EDIT: sounds like you have a great chance at most of those schools! just stay optimistic! but remember that nothing is ever certain...the college admissions process can be a bit random. it just depends on what they see in you and if they would like you to attend their school which is subjective for every college. no matter what, know that everything is meant to be and just bc you dont get into your dream school doesnt make you any less of the great person you already are. it is their loss! everything will work out in the end.

Stanford is almost certainly to be a denial. Your SAT score is low for their applicants as is your GPA (norms are 2200 SAT, 3.8 unweighted GPA). You probably didn't put all of your information on here, but your EC's are extremely limited, and if all you do is work at a grocery store and play sports, you don't stand out, not to mention that you aren't even at the same level as most of the applicants in the first place. USC and UCLA are a real toss-up; your SAT score is fine, but your GPA is a little low and both schools experienced huge jumps in applications this past year because the UC's removed the requirement for subject tests (meaning more people could apply if they hadn't taken any) and USC moved to the Common App (meaning it was now much easier to fill out the majority of the application because you did it for other schools as well); neither is reversing their policy, so expect to see continued rises in the amount of applicants to both schools. UCSD I think is not a bad choice because you graduated from a biotech academy, and UCSD has a pretty well-known biology program, so that might be something that helps you out a lot. Your stats are over their averages, but again, the same thing with regard to subject tests that you saw at UCLA apply here as well. UCSB is also a good choice; it's a mid-range UC, but your SAT scores are definitely well above the norm for the school, and based upon the host of people who I've known to go there, at least your academics are in line. Pepperdine should almost be a given unless you write essays that absolutely destroy the church since it is a really religious institution. If there's a weak point on most of these, it's not your academics, it's your EC's. Work experience and sports are good, but there's no volunteer work, no community service, and no internships related to your intended field of study. Also, nothing that you do is very unique, meaning that you will have trouble standing out from the rest of the applicant pool, so that could be a detriment on your application.
