<p>Hey all. I was just wondering if anyone could give me some tips/advice on chances
at UCLA, USC, UCB (UCD, UCI secondary). I know its a bit early for me to ask for
chances, without confirmed SAT scores and AP scores, but I just want to know
if there is anything else I can add on to my student application that will make me
seem like a more prospective student to these amazing schools!</p>
<p>Some stats about me:</p>
<p>Currently a Junior(2nd Sem).
Attending one of the top 100 US schools. (Limited AP's offered)
SAT: January 2012 (Expecting 2200-2300)
ACT: February 2012 Expecting (33-35)
SAT II - Math2, Bio E, World History
AP's - APCS, Bio, World History
Interested in : Computer Science/Biology/Film (Not sure yet, but hence why these colleges
are some of the better options =D)
Race: Asian
Parents attended college
CA Local</p>
<p>When I first entered high school, I never really took anything seriously,
and never realized the magnitude of HS until much later. I also played a lot
of video games (WoW .... yea...addicted) throughout my Freshman and
Sophomore years.</p>

<p>Etc:
I understand I don't have any club officer positions, (partly due to my lack of interest in
Freshman and Sophomore years). So I was also wondering how I could strengthen that
section of the application, and other sections as well. The personal statement will
be excellent, as I will put a lot of time and effort into it.</p>
<p>Any advice would help and looking forward towards college!</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
