<p>Hi, I'm currently a high school junior and I really need a sufficient answer from a helpful person please!! I'm extremely stressed on whether I could make it to ANY of UC colleges with my transcript so far. Right now community college is not an option for me and I really want to get into uc irvine at least. However, since freshmen year I was very oblivious of what my academic future would be and now that I'm a junior I'm very worried if I could even make it into a 4 year university. I would thank anyone who can give me a great analysis of my progress so far. (Btw my dream major is pre-med)</p>

<p>Freshmen:
( first semester)
Geometry honors. A
Spanish 2 (cuz I took Spanish 1 in 8th grade: got Bs for both sem). B
Health. A
Biology honors. B
English 1. A
PE. A
(Second semester)
Geometry honors. B
Spanish 2. B
Intro to media and design. A
Biology honors. B
English 1. B
PE. A</p>

<p>Sophomore:
( first semester)
Spanish 3. A
PE. A
English 2 honors. B
Chemistry 1. A
Algebra 2 honors. A
AP World history. B
(Second semester)
Spanish 3. A
PE. A
English 2 honors. C ( this is what REALLY worries me :( )
Chemistry 1. A

<p>Junior:
(First semester)

Pre calc honors. B
US history. A
Physics. A
Korean 4 honors. A
Beginning theatre. A</p>

<p>My sat score is low: 1700 is my highest..... It's pretty bad.....</p>

<p>Yeah that's my grade so far... What really worries me is the C in English 2 honors, and I was wondering if UC colleges accept a C in any subjects (Especially ITS ENGLISH!!)? Also, I'm pretty strong in korean so I was wondering if taking a korean subject test will help me in any way to get into UC college?? Sorry I have so much questions. I really want to get into UC irvine and I'll be blessed if anyone could give me an answer for my dilemma. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
(also, i dont really have much of extracurricular activities done except for being a member of CSF and Kiwins: would it even help to join NHS when i become senior??)</p>

<p>Well first of all UC stands for University of California, so saying UC college is redundant -that was bugging me throughout your post. </p>

<p>Moving on…you do have a shot at the UCs. Schools like Berkeley, LA, and San Diego might be out of your reach, but you should have a shot at Davis, Irvine, Riverside, Santa Barbara, etc. Check out each schools freshmen profile to get a better idea of where you stand in regards to other admitted applicants. Cs aren’t dealbreakers on your UC app, but they aren’t desirable.
Also make sure you apply to some CSUs just in case.
Joining NHS -or really any other club- as a senior really won’t enhance your application. Admissions officers see that kind of thing as resume padding. It actually might reflect poorly on you depending on who reads your application. </p>

<p>C’s are acceptable. You can totally get into Irvine with your grades and scores. I know plenty of underachieving kids who got in this 2014 round. Just write a super amazing personal statement. Get out of your comfort zone and be different even if you have to force it.</p>

<p>Irvine: high match
Cal/LA: reach</p>
