<p>EC's: I've got lots of community service through a group of which I am apart. Lots of leadership, not many noteworthy awards but i've got some... parents own a small business and i work there helping out on weekends</p>

<p>Other: I have an upward trend in my grades. I started out freshman year with a 2.67. My highest GPA since than has been a 4.60 the first semester of my junior year. my GPA dropped to 4.40 cuz i had the flu the last week of school (it effected my performance on my finals)
I"m gonna make sure my essays are good.
Schools: </p>

<p>So what do my chances look like for UCLA and UC Berkeley at that? Any input is appreciated.. so thanks!</p>

<p>Ah, all those extra community service hours help greatly. I'm sure you'll do fine.</p>

<p>The reason i'm asking is because I want to limit myself on how many UC's I apply to. I want to have variety and don't want ALL my applications to be to UC's (applying to that many schools is a lot of money as you know).. So i just want to know whether or not I shoudl bother including UCLA or UCB on my UC's list.. </p>

<p>So far these are the ones i'm applying to:
UCD
UCSB
UCSC
UCB (why not?)
and possibley UCLA</p>

<p>What is your weighted GPA from 10th and 11th grades only? I ask this because UC's don't count freshman year grades and that can change the scenario a little bit. But re-post when you have retaken your SAT.</p>

<p>my UC GPA is 4.00</p>
