Applying to UCB/UCLA

<p>My hypothetical scores are as follows:</p>

<p>3.6-3.8 GPA UW.
Ap chemistry - 3
AP US History - 4/5
AP Lang and Comp 3/4/5
AP Calculus BC 4/5
AP Biology 4/5</p>

<p>SAT (1st try 1760, 2nd try ??? hopefully 1900+)
SAT II's - SAT II Math - 700+, History - 750+, Biology - 700+</p>

<p>Community Service: 300 hours at a hospital
Community service with other affiliations: 300+ hours</p>

<p>EC's:
President C. Culture Club (2 years)
Leader of Christian Club
Vice President and co-founder International Student Society
Vice President Key Club
Eagle Scout
Senior Patrol Leader of Troop
2 year member National Honor Society (Hopefully next year i am voted president or vice president)
3 year member California Scholarship Federation
3 year Staff National Youth Leadership Training Conference (for Boyscouts)
Possibly a piad summer school tutor for a state college program
3 year school tennis team
2 year school cross country team
Volunteer tutor hours - 40+
Hopefully by senior year I can get other leadership positions =).</p>

<p>Is there a good chance I could be admitted? Also what can I talk about for my essay? Here are some of my interests: History, Science, Leadership, Boyscouts, etc.</p>

<p>Also what should i also be applying to besides UCB (even though that is my main goal).</p>

<p>If my personal background is needed, I am Chinese born in the US. I have two siblings, and I only have one working parent ($60,000), and i have a brother in college. Do they ask for middle school awards?? If so I got some cool things from there.</p>

<p>what's your major?</p>

<p>and your SAT's are bringing you down :&lt;/p>

<p>I want to major in Biology, maybe chemistry.</p>

<p>Your ECs are great, but you know, UCs are all stats.</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Slight Reach
UCB: Reach for engineering</p>

<p>Gpa looks competitive enough if weighted, though SATs can bring you down. Above average ECs for UC. Get SATs up!!!</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Slight Reach</p>

<p>Thank you all very much for the great feedback. I will indeed raise my SAT hopefully to a 1900+ hopefully like a 2100 or something. I am looking to the skies to give me guidance because I took the May SAT!! Wow that and the Ap's arent in yet. If there is any other advice to be given, it would be appreciated. Thanks!</p>

<p>I have just calculated my Weighted GPA from soph to first semester senior year. Hypothetically it will be a 4.1 -4.2. Could someone re-evaulate my chances. Also could someone offer me advice on schools besides UCB or UCLA that would be good matches or a good school i could possibly reach? Thank you for your support.</p>

<p>1900 sat and a 4.1-4.2.</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Reach/Slight Reach
UCSD: Slight Reach/Match</p>

<p>Everything below these schools you should be good for if you sat is over 1800. I would call UCI UCSB UC Davis all safe matches if you get an 1800+ on your sat.</p>
