<p>Hey, so basically, I didn't do so well in high school</p>
<p>3.3 unweigted- 3.5 weighted GPA
17something on my SAT
28 on my ACT
3 years of Model UN
2 years of Academic Decathlon</p>
<p>but that obviously wasn't enough for my college list: (UCLA, UCB, Dartmouth, Stanford)</p>
<p>but here is my question, I'm planning on attending community college next year, however, I wish to do 60 units in one year (difficult yet feasible). What are my chances of getting into those schools (I know my Stanford chances are very slim) if I maintain a 3.7 or higher GPA. I also plan on volunteering at a hospital, and I am going to try and join a local debate team or group. If you recommend that I should do anything more, please let me know. </p>
<p>I’d say just take it easy, make some friends, and aim for a 3.9</p>
<p>I did significantly worse than you in HS, 2.1 GPA, and made it into UCLA (biz/econ) with a 3.85 and got A’s in all the pre-requisites for biz/econ. Doing well in the pre-reqs classes are key. The other classes don’t factor in as much, but its still important to maintain that GPA.</p>
<p>Enroll in some leadership positions (I founded a honor society while I was at CC).</p>
<p>Most importantly, have FUN. The connections you make at CC are pretty valuable because most of the students have the same goal as you: to make it into a big time university. Since there is no curve and thus no competition, there are opportunities to cooperate and help each other along the way. </p>
