I got into UCB.

Anyways, going to a high ranked University is overrated.

lul you should've gone to UCSD - beach <3 and no cows


Based on that resume, you'll probably get into any UC. Eh, UCs should be a fall back if you're aiming for Johns Hopkins. More prestigious universities can be or are advantageous, but it depends on how you work it I guess. i.e. networking and what the college has to offer to help reach your goals in life, that's all. Your GPA shouldn't matter too much as long as you keep it hight, however I'm surprised you have a low weighted GPA even thought you got 4's and 5's on AP tests? Ah well, I got quite a few B's back in the day. I'm assuming you're a junior though since college applications were due a long time ago for seniors.

omfg you're going to get RAPED by out-of-state tuition/housing fees if you go to Johns Hopkins!

I didn't give a rat's ass about extra-curricular stuff since I know I was going to get in the college I would most likely be in. xmas.gif
