Am I good enough for my top select schools?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm Angela! I live in Washington and I'm interested in mostly UC schools. I'm in my Junior year and I am going to take SAT II's (Math Lvl 1 + Chemistry), SAT, and AP tests for Chinese and Chemistry this year. My first two years weren't that great, but my late sophomore year and junior year has proved to be stronger. In freshman year, my math wasn't very great but I've aced all my other math classes after that year. I had a bad relationship with my teacher in freshman year, and I started to cut that class a lot. As for Physics 2H, I am going to T.A. for that class second semester and I plan on taking AP Physics B next year. The UW Earth Space Science course is a course from the University of Washington. </p>

<p>I know not much can be decided without ACT's, SAT's, and SAT ll's but hopefully I could hear your input!</p>

<p>*Note: I'm very interested in science and the medical field. Most of my EC's are related to science/medicine. Even though I got a C in Physics 2H, I plan to take AP Physics B next year. I know how I got that C, and it was not because I didn't understand the material. </p>

<p>**Note: At this point, the highest GPA I could get is 3.78, even if I get 4.0's.</p>

<p>EC's (Started building in Sophomore year):
VA Hospital Volunteer - 146 Hours
JV1 Tennis
Key Club Volunteer
Science Club (Going to run for president!)
Vice-President of Chemistry Club
Discovery Corps @ Pacific Science Center</p>

<p>So, what do you all think?</p>

<p>PS: Does anyone know how to calculate the UC / weighted GPA?</p>

<p>If you do well on your SAT, you should get in everywhere but (perhaps) Cal, UCLA, and Texas. USC is not a gimme either.</p>

<p>UCSF is only a grad school. As for your chances, UC GPA doesn’t use freshman grades so that C will go away. :-*Your grades are borderline, your SAT and ACT will go along way in determining your chances. Your EC’s are not that strong either. I would say probably not Berkeley, or UCLA, or UT- Austin. The others you have a fair chance at.</p>
