Chance another Haitian!

<p>Im a high school junior in norcal and my conselor (who happened to be at school for the first time in ages!) told me to start thinking about college. I was like, ok? Im looking at UCSB, UCD, UCSC, UCR, UCI. I know the others are out of the question.</p>

<p>stats:</p>

<p>male (haitian american)
sat i: 1690
sat ii: Spanish (780), French (710), German (690), gonna take math ii and literature
APs: French (3), Spanish lang (4), APWorld (2), AP spanish lit (2),
GPA: 3.786
Rank: top20% small, competitive school</p>

<p>ECs(just got an update):
-109.4 hours from volunteerig at my former elementart school at the afterschol programme(sophmore year)
-102 hours from home work help at community resource centre in the library(junior year)
-45hrs kiwins community help (club just started this year)
-President of KIWINS club
-badminton 2yrs
-Cross country 3yrs
-language tutor (freshman+sophmore on saturdats/sndays)
-President of chocolate club 4th (junior year)
-Regional recognitions for spanish and french accoplishments</p>

<p>hook?:
-Im <em>proficient</em>(not fluent, except spanish and kreyol) in Spanish, French, Haitian Kreyol, Geramn, Korean and Tagalog. I also know a little Japanese and Portuguese because the other languages makes it easier to know those.
-Good writer? (what im told)</p>

<p>major: linguistics</p>

<p>So do i have <em>shot</em> at this school or should i lower my standards</p>

<p>I would personally re-take the SAT rather than the subject tests, because state schools, UCs included, will potentially throw you out of the running if you’re not in their range. I think you definitely have a good shot at all of these schools, maybe the ACT would be kinder to you, because you seem to be better than your SAT reasoning suggests.</p>

<p>Woah, woah, woah seven languages? I’m really impressed. be sure to point that out.</p>

<p>But, I don’t think I qualified to chance you for the UCs.</p>
