<p>teehee that was my rendition of a poor orphan! now lets get dirty - </p>

<p>What I want: BERK, UCSD, UCSB, UCLA in that order of preference
Major: History
Major GPA: 3.8....one B in East Asian History, as well as an A- in Greek History.
IGETC: will be done by spring
pre reqs - will all done for all desired UCs IN THE FALL, cept UCSB. UCSB will be done in winter.</p>

<p>Cum GPA: ~3.5....with a really good upwards trend! Looking at each quarter individually-
Fall: 3.21
Winter: 3.52
Spring: 4.0
Summer: 4.0 (three classes!)
Fall: going to work my tail off for another 4.0</p>

<p>I CANNOT DO A TAG, because I'm one class short of the 30sem/45 quarter units needed to apply for a TAG.
So basically, im guaranteed entry into NO school so this makes me a little jittery. </p>

<p>ECs: Honors Program, Honors Club (have about 3hrs/weekly here), Law Association (a club), part-time job (20hrs/weekly) where I'm an assistant to the the company's legal dept, and ESL tutor 4hrs/weekly.</p>

<p>hmmm....what else? my essays? i think they'll be great, I have an endless passion for researching and thoroughly knowing and understanding what makes history...history! which makes my part-time job super fun because a lot of it is researching companies and specific laws and whatnot</p>

<p>okay this was long winded.
let me know what you guys think! BE BRUTAL. tear me apart please, you guys will lessen the pain of rejection letters. ;[</p>

<p>Berk and LA are far stretches but then again crazier things have happened. So still apply. I would say you have a 60% chance at UCSD and a 70% chance at UCSB.</p>

<p>Hope it all works out for you…</p>

<p>as someone who went through this whole process already,
i think your chances are, completely realistically:
UCSD- 93%
UCSB- 97%
UCLA- 50/50, but I think you do have a very good shot (maybe a 60-74% chance)</p>

<p>and Berk is the trickiest. in the end, it will pretty much come down to your personal statement. </p>

<p>all those numbers i gave are dependent on what you do in fall '10. so try your best to maintain a 4.0 GPA (they will ask you for a fall update in january), get all major prereqs done, and make sure you’re finished with stuff like english/math.</p>

<p>good luck!</p>
