Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Im currently a Sophomore in High School and my goal has always been going to UCSB, because of most of my family attending there. The only setback is that i did HORRIBLE my 1st Sophomore semester and I mean horrible. I've talked with teachers and they say it still isn't to late, but I'm worried their just telling me what i want to hear so i wont lose hope.</p>

<p>1st Semester Grades:
Int-Algebra 2: F/B
English 10 Acc: D/A
Spanish 5/6: D/A
World History Acc: A/A
Chemistry: F/B
AVID: F/A</p>

<p>I know the grades are terrible but I've made up English, Math, & chemistry in summer school/credit recovery. Since then ive been getting straight A's 2nd Semester and i plan on doing 250+ hours of community service in order to make up for my low GPA. I plan on trying to obtain a 3.7 UW GPA in order to get into UCSB.</p>

<p>My Current EC's so far:
-JV Football 2 Years
-JV Basketball 1 year
-Community Service 80 hours (Beach Clean-Ups/Soup Kitchen)</p>

<p>EC's i plan to take:
-250-300 Hours of Community service
-Basketball & Football my remaining High school years
-Trying to join ASB probably not going to run for it though
-Join CSF to graduate in white</p>

<p>Junior Year Schedule:
-APUSH
-Math Analysis Honors
-AP Language
-AP Spanish Lanuage
-Physics Honors
-AVID
-Health (0 Period state requirement)</p>

<p>Please any feedback is appreciated im really trying to figure out if its still possible to get into UCSB if i manage to get straight A's from here on out and fulfill my EC goals. Also any advice that will help me get in is welcome.</p>

<p>It is definitely not too late. Although UC Santa Barbra is a very hard school to get into, colleges do like to see an upward trend. If you keep up all A’s/B’s with as hard of a schedule as you have now, there is still a fighting chance. Definitely do not give up if you ever feel like you won’t get into UCSB. There are plenty of other schools out there where you can get a good education. Do your EC’s with passion, and score well on the ACT/SAT, and you have a chance. Good Luck! :)</p>

<p>So for English, math, and chem, I’m a little confused. Are you taking then again in summer school to try to get an A? Will that cover up the D’s and F’s?</p>
