<p>I screwed up soph year (2 Cs 2nd semester) and the rest of my GPA isn't that good. I think I'll end up with a UC 3.82 UW 3.5 at the end of the school year. I've taken all honors/APs so far save one or two classes (i.e. French 3 this year, etc.)</p>
<p>Rest of stats</p>
<p>2230 SAT 1
760 SAT2 Lit, 750 Bio, 800 Math 2c</p>
<p>ECs</p>
<p>Debate team captain + jetsetted around country participating in the nat circuit</p>
<p>Founded institue to teach kids how to debate</p>
<p>Help poor kids at local school by tutoring them</p>
<p>I had a friend who had similar stats to you. Except, his only EC was similar to your Debate EC. His GPA was a lot higher than yours though (He was valed for having above 4.0). He got rejected from LA, but got into CAL (had to appeal). Granted, this friend applied 4 years ago, lol.</p>
<p>I think GPAs are beginning to play a bigger factor in the new hollistic admissions... but if you just get straight As this year you might still have a chance since there will be an upward trend...</p>
<p>How competitive is your school...and how do you rank among your peers - it'll be tough to compare 'overall' so make sure you're competitive among the kids @ your school.</p>
