<p>Next year: 3 or 4 APs, advanced language</p>

<p>EC:

<p>I don't think your EC's are too bad. I would thing schools would like that you started a club.</p>

3

<p>^ Agreed, I also think the Volunteer work in Malaysia would be helpful.</p>

4

<p>i agree with both posters, as for chances anything can happen</p>

5

<p>thanks bros, please bump, would gladly trade chances :)</p>

<p>I think you have as good a chance as anybody. Even though the GPA is a kind of low, you test scores are really good and your ECs are pretty good. I like the range you have of schools too. Being Californian helps for the UCs too. Good Luck! :)</p>

<p>^ thanks, anyone else please?</p>
