<p>First post... I'm kind of new, so yeah.</p>
<p>Anyway, here it is:</p>
<p>Freshman:
Geometry - A/A
Business and Finance - B/A
Spanish 1 NS - A/A
PE - A/A
Freshman intro Class/Health - A/A
CP English A/A
CP Bio - A/A</p>
<p>Sophomore:
Honors English - B/A
PE - A/A
CP World History - A/A
CP Chem - A/A
Algebra 2 - A/A
Spanish 3 NS - A/A</p>
<p>Junior:
AP English Lang. - B/B (Such an immature student-teacher here. Got kicked from school. Not to mention that my teacher left in January because she went into labor. Came back during AP exam week... yay.)
CP Physics - A/B (Bad teacher... my friends warned me about his Chemistry and Physics teaching skills... ugh.)
AP Spanish Lang - A/A
Honors Pre-Calc/Trig. - A/B (Ahh... that horrible student-teacher from second semester. Not to mention we were 4 weeks behind compared to the previous year...)
AP US History - B/C (A C... so painful. Maybe if she would stop talking about Johnny Depp and how much she likes wine. Passed the AP exam, so whatever.)
Inter. Communication - A/A (This is Link Crew Class. Same teacher from English freshman year. Kept in touch all years so far.)</p>
<p>Senior schedule:
AP Spanish Literature
AP English Literature
AP Psychology
Peer Leading
AP Calculus AB
AP Government</p>
<p>GPA UW: 3.78 W: Approximately 4.1. As you can see, my school doesn't offer too many "Honors" courses like Honors Chem, Bio, Geo, Alg. 2, etc. Plus I lack some that I could've had due to bad counseling.</p>
<p>School Rank: 22/700. So I'm in top 4% for sure.</p>
<p>SAT: 1940
ACT: 27</p>
<p>I guess, some EC's are:
- Link Crew club: Two years plus one in class. School morality.
- Peer Leading: Hold a position. Activity Director. Help organize activities for Yellow/Red ribbon weeks, etc.
- Work Experience: Babysitting, if that even counts.
- Boxing Gym outside of school since sixth grade. Probably means nothing, but I am aware that there are colleges with Boxing Clubs and compete against UC's.
- Community service at my school on Saturdays. Cleaning the campus, setting up, etc.</p>
<p>Letters of Recommendation:
- From my Freshman English teacher. Known him all years. Excellent. Attended USC and UCLA.
- Eighth grade history/Sophomore history teacher. Known him since then. Attended Cal Poly Pomona. Excellent.</p>
<p>Essays. Pretty good. Mentions include how my family has struggled from generation to generation and how my mom and dad have spent 30+ year in the US trying to stabilize. And how it became a personal gripe of mine to continue doing well throughout senior year even though second semester of junior year was trash. Also, how I learn from my mistakes to help me discover who I truly am and whatnot. And some very, very personal stuff.</p>
<p>Low income, first generation college student.</p>
<p>So can you guys tell me how I'd be looked upon by admission at:</p>
<p>UCLA (Haha. The admission officers must win the lottery that day to even admit me.)
UC Riverside (I'd assume this is a safe school.)
UC Davis
UC Santa Barbara
UC Santa Cruz
UC San Diego
Cal Poly Pomona (Probably a safe school too.)
Cal Poly San Luis</p>
