<p>Will take about 3 more AP's this year (AP English Lit, AP Computer Science, AP Physics B) and a few more senior year (AP Physics C, AP English 12, AP Statistics, Calc III (not an AP), AP Gov, AP Econ, etc.)</p>
<p>My weighted is around 4.24 for 9-12 and 4.5 for 10-12. Unweighted is about 3.91/3.92. </p>

<p>SAT II- Math II (740). I messed up here, retaking it Dec. 1. Got a girlfriend, lost focus, etc. etc. Going for 800. </p>
<p>SAT- 2230. (750 Writing, 770 Math, 710 CR). Retaking in March. Hoping for 2300+. </p>

Pomona (Reach)
Claremont McKenna (Reach)
Might apply to Harvard as a joke. </p>
<p>Please chance, I'll chance you back! Thanks a lot. </p>
<p>P.S. looking to major in computer science or Engineering. I know UCB, UCLA, UCSD, HARVEY MUDD, CALTECH, have outstanding engineering and comp sci programs so it might be harder to get in than say, a music major. (no offense musically gifted). </p>
<p>P.P.S. I'm asian, which I think will hurt my chances.</p>
