<p>I'm interested in Pre-Med, so the colleges with a strong science program would be nice. I understand I have a low GPA, but I wrote in my essay about how I didn't understand the impact of school until Junior year. This semester I have a 3.9, and just received my 34 ACT and 2400 SAT after junior year, which shows that I've been improving greatly. What do you guys think?</p>

<p>Is your GPA weighted or unweighted? Did you calculate your UC GPA for UCLA and Berkeley? And, just curious: Why do you list your sophomore PSAT instead of your junior PSAT? What test date did you get the 2400?</p>

<p>Sorry about that. That’s the unweighted GPA, I have not calculated the UCLA/Berkeley GPA. And my junior PSAT was a 206 i believe.</p>
