Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm going into my junior year and I really want to go to UCLA or USC. This upcoming junior year I'm taking DE US history, AP english,chemistry, algebra 2 and student council. Freshman and sophomore year i took all the basic classes no AP or pre AP classes. So it was algebra 1, world history,spanish 1,spanish 2,geometry, english 9,10 and some electives. I played varsity basketball 1 year and I'm in a summer hoops like and have been in for two years and plan on it for two more year. I have volunteered for a junior high volleyball team for two years and will also do that for two more years. Also I did some tutoring not much but some in english. I want to get a summer job next summer but I don't know what would look good on an application Any suggestions? Also any good ideas for volunteer work? My school is also in the top 10% of schools in AZ and it's so so not too many AP classes are offered.</p>

<p>I had a 3.5 GPA freshman year and a 3.75 sophomore year both UW. Assuming I have a solid GPA the next two years get a good summer job and do about 150 hours of volunteer work along with writing good essays(which I know I can do) and getting good scores on my ACT and SAT what are my chances at UCLA,USC,UCSB,UCSD,UOFA,NYU,Oregon.</p>

<p>There are lots of summer jobs that will impress colleges-- even just having a job is good, though of course something higher up than fast food will look better. If you could get a volleyball-related job, or something relating to another one of your hobbies, that would be great, showing commitment to your interests. There’s tons of volunteer options out there, so look locally – food bank is a basic one, and so is candystriping. </p>

<p>I think your chances are pretty good at those schools-- try to take as many APs are offered, and when it comes time to apply, be sure to impart the narrowness of opportunity offered. Keep in mind also that applying to the CA schools will be harder since you’re out of state. Good luck!</p>
