<p>I posted my first chance here a little over a week ago and I wanted a second try at it with more schools and updated GPA and other stats =)</p>
<p>I'm currently a Filipino Junior at a Magnet School (Career and Technical Academy) in Nevada. I just signed up here on College Confidential because I'm heavily focused on my college search and working on preparation like the SAT's in March and considering more EC's and AP classes during senior year. I'm dead set on majoring in Civil Engineering and leaning towards going out-of-state. First, my stats:</p>
<p>School: Southwest Career and Technical Academy, Las Vegas, Nevada (New School-2009)</p>
<p>Program Area/Major: Hospitality (don't know if it will help my chances for Engr.)</p>
<p>School GPA: 3.5, 4.125 weighted
UC GPA: 3.45 (first semester just ended and its improving!)
-It should be around ~4.25 weighted by graduation</p>
<p>Class Rank: 85/388 (Hanging onto the top 25% as hard as I can!)</p>
<p>SAT: (I averaged my two PSAT scores for now, taking the real one in March)
-Reading:590 - Math:610 - Writing:590
*Considering taking ACT, still looking into it</p>
<p>Rigor:
-AP: APUSH (Jr. Year), AP Calc AB + AP Physics B (Sr. Year)
*Considering AP Chemistry and AP US Government, don't know if I can take the load yet</p>
<p>-All Other Classes like English, Science and Math are always Honors</p>
<p>Electives/Program Classes:
-Language: Spanish 1, 2 and 3
-Humanities: Psychology + Sociology
-Arts: Graphic Design 1 + Photography
-Hospitality Courses: Marketing 1 and 2, Travel and Tourism, Hospitality Management 1+2 </p>
<p>ECs: I'm really thin in this area =/
-Inactive DECA Member
-Plan to join NHS this spring
-Plan to join Key Club this fall
-My Hospitality Program has internships the last semester of Senior Year, idk if that counts?</p>
<p>Prospective Schools: I'm safe for UNLV and UNR thanks to the advanced diploma =)</p>

<p>Sorry if it seems like a huge load of schools, my college search is still pretty broad right now x) I'll do another chance after I get my SAT Scores around April. Any advice on even one school will be great, I'll even chance back! Thanks! :D</p>
I guess if Davis is a reach, same with Irvine. Which UT are you referring to?</p>
only issue is the expensive tuition since its private but which means more financial aid. Looks like I match up with it though so thanks again!</p>
