Chance a Robotics Kid

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello, and thank you for looking at my thread!</p>

<p>I posted this because I would like to know my chances for getting into UC Berkeley, and I would especially like to know how much influence my Robotics extracurricular would carry.</p>

<p>Female
Asian (Japanese-Bengali mix ^_^)</p>

<p>As I am still a sophomore, I apologize in advance that the following list is incomplete:</p>

<p>FRESHMAN YEAR
Japanese I- A
Geometry Honors- A
P.E./Health- A
Intro Tech- A
Japanese II- A
Algebra II/Trig Honors- A
English 9 Honors- A
Biology- A</p>

<p>SOPHOMORE YEAR
AP World History- A
ROP Welding/Metal Fabrication- A
Chemistry- A
Japanese III- A
English 10 H- currently an A
AP Chemistry- currently an A
Pre Calculus Honors- currently an A
Japanese IV- currently an A</p>

<p>JUNIOR YEAR (these are the classes I signed up for)
Japanese V Honors
AP Calculus AB
AP Physics B
AP English 11
AP Japanese VI
AP Calculus BC
AP Physics C
AP US History</p>

<p>SAT: Haven't taken it for real yet, but practice ones have been right around 2100. I'm doing a hardcore SAT boot camp deal this summer, so I believe I can get around 2200...?
ACT: Not taken yet, but PLAN was 32... >.< I'm going to study harder for ACT though.
AP tests: None taken yet, but I'm pretty good at studying and I think I can do well...</p>

<p>EXTRACURRICULARS
Robotics- That's the big one. It's with the FIRST (For the Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) organization. I understand that it is... kind of a big deal... And at our school, we do this coolio registration thing where we can get ten credits for plugging in a certain number of hours, which I have accomplished ^_^</p>

<p>Underwater Robotics- I am such a nerd. This one is with the MATE organization.</p>

<p>Member of Math Club</p>

<p>Member of Japanese National Honors Society</p>

<p>PRESIDENT AND FOUNDER of Space Exploration Club</p>

<p>Member of Kids4kids</p>

<p>Member of Computer Hardware and Electronics Study Society</p>

<p>Volunteer work: If all goes well, right around 200-300 hours.</p>

<p>****I believe it is significant to state that in Robotics, I am our team's FIRST FEMALE MACHINIST. I am quite often the only girl in the metal shop. However, I also currently have a "freshman army' consisting of freshman girls, who I train in hopes that they will next year have female freshman armies of their own. Having more girls pursue engineering is a goal of mine, and I hope that my example will encourage more girls to enter the shop. (<--- will be worked into an essay somehow ^_^)</p>

<p>OUTSIDE CLASSES
We're only allowed 30 credits outside of school. I would like to achieve 30 credits through the local community college. I'm thinking of taking programming, statistics (getting rid of it), and in senior year, calculus, as I would have worked through all available math classes in my high school.</p>

<p>I am mostly interested in UC Berkeley, but my next choices would be UCLA or UCSD. I would like to major in physics and become and engineer.</p>

<p>Thank you again.</p>

<p>BUMP >.<</p>

<p>Hey guys, what do you say?</p>

3

<p>u need a chance ?? :O</p>

4

<p>Yes, from what I have heard, it is quite difficult to get into Berkeley, even with good grades etc.</p>

5

<p>I will write my response in Japanese (I am also learning Japanese):</p>

<p>そうね。。。
UC Berkeleyに入る事ができるようけど。せんもんはEECSね？</p>

<p>でも、入らなければしんぱいしないで。Community Collegeに行っても一度applyする事ができる。UC Berkeleyはtransferの入学生はわりあい多いそう。
僕はtransferの学生になりたい。</p>

<p>Here is your corresponding anime character :smiley: [Winry</a> Rockbell](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winry_Rockbell]Winry”>Winry Rockbell - Wikipedia)</p>

<p>If you’re in-state, I’m sure you’ll get in. You look like a very qualified applicant! Even out-of-state you’d have a good shot.</p>

<p>By the way, don’t be disappointed about your PLAN score. IIRC, PLAN is out of 32, which means that was a perfect score.</p>

7

<p>Oh, whoops. That was my projected ACT score from the PLAN. Either way, I’m going to study harder.</p>

<p>I am in-state. Thank you very much!</p>

<p>@bokuwa- Thank you, but considering that I am planning to do post-grad study, I’d rather not go to community college because I could go, for example, UCSD/notBerkeley-> [cool postgrad university] -> Job that doesn’t care about much besides the postgrad. So, I think I would rather go to UCSD or some UC that is within my reach than go to community college just to get into Berkeley. If I don’t get into Berkeley, anyway. [Not saying that I will but you get the point]</p>

<p>You can take Calculus AB concurrently with Calculus BC at your school? You do know that you’re not allowed to take both exams in a single year, right? And Japanese V with AP Japanese?</p>

<p>My school is on a different schedule. Trust me, this works.</p>
