<p>Haven't done My Sats or Act yet, but will study. Will go to community college during school to get the extra points. Planning on joining more organizations such as NHS and 3 point play. During summer will look for job to gain experiences. </p>

<p>Colleges I want to go to </p>

<p>University of Southern California
University of Berkley
UCSD
UCLA (Yeah no chance doesn't hurt to apply)
SDSU
And the other UC schools like Santa Cruz, Santa Barbra etc... </p>

<p>Alright Guys bit painful :), looking forward for some constructive criticism. Try not to be too harsh.</p>

<p>Oh and theres upward trend in grades
I was at 3.0 freshman year now im at 3.7 Junior.</p>

3

<p>For Berkeley/UCLA, a few more leadership positions OR more rigorous classes OR a higher GPA would help. I would say those two are reaches.</p>

<p>For UCI, UC Davis, UCSB level UC's you seem to be okay. I'd say SDSU is a safety.</p>

<p>Of course, SAT/ACT scores and the Essay are going to be significant and could make/break for some of the better schools.</p>

4

<p>aite thnx, during next semester I have mostly electives cause we have 4 by 4 scheldule. So I'm thinking my gpa would go up a bit more</p>

5

<p>you're definitely doing fine. you might want to try and raise your GPA though.</p>

<p>sports
Badminton Varsity starter - straightforward enough</p>

<p>Organizations
Key Club (9-11)
IB Club (11)
Martial Arts Club (11)
CIF(11) - What's this?</p>

<p>Colleges may be a little suspicious that you joined so many clubs in senior year; they may think you did so just to put them on your application.</p>

<p>Outside activity
Paintball Team competed in tournaments got 6/25 - Doesn't really matter
Beach Fest (9-11) - Not sure what this is; doesn't sound like it matters
Went in Basketball Academy for a few days - Not sure about this
I sell/trade stuff on this website (don't know if that counts) - Not really official, so it doesn't really matter
Participated in Science Olympiad in 8th grade - 8th grade doesn't matter</p>
