Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hiya. I'm a junior currently attending the L.A. County High School for the Arts ( LACHSA ). Having a hard time judging my own chances for the schools listed above ( and I can already see Berkeley as a reach, ouch )...so I'm looking for some help. </p>

<p>Here are some things about me:</p>

<p>+Major (hopefully): psychology
+GPA : 3.95 (unweighted), 4.2 (weighted)
+AP classes: U.S. History, English
+SAT: 1840. 730 reading / 560 math / 550 writing
+Classes I have taken as part of my arts curriculum (in no particular order):
Modern Art History
Elements of Art&Design
Human Anatomy
Intro to Painting
Intro to Graphic Design
Mixed Media ( 2 years )
Intro to 3D Design
Figure Drawing ( 2 years )
Traditional Animation
World Art History
Painting ( 2 years )
3D Animation
Fashion
Printmaking
+Extracurriculars: yearbook ( 2 years ), art tutor at an afterschool program ~150 hours, art commission work 300+ hours </p>

<hr>

<p>My school plays a large part in what I can or cannot do, especially for ECs. </p>

<p>I have a total of eleven classes for every year ( 6 academic, 5 arts ). Each arts class is taken once a week with given assignments/projects, etc ( one for every work day ). </p>

<p>Campus is basically shared facilities with Calstate L.A. School hours are 8AM-4PM. Not too many APs classes are available. </p>

<p>My commute requires that I wake up at 6AM in order to catch the bus in time for school. I don't get home until 6PM. </p>

<p>That's all I have for the moment. Thanks for taking the time to read! I anxiously await your feedback.</p>

<p>the biggest thing that is pulling you back is that SAT score. I’m sorry, but in order to have a relatively good chance in those schools (especially UCLA and berkeley) is to have higher scores, especially for math as it is looked more significant than the writing subscore. You have mediocre SAT scores, and you could still have a chance to those prescribed schools, just not an outstandingly good chance. Also, lack of APs, but since you said that your school does not offer many, then there is not really u can do about it. Also, your major is psychology, but you are obviously an art person, why not major in something more art-related, or at least double major to possibly get scholarships?</p>
