<p>Okay, I'm going to be a junior next year so there are some predictions, but I'm sure they will be pretty accurate.</p>

<p>UW/W GPA = 3.6/4.0
UC GPA = 3.92
SAT ~ 2000, SAT 2's ~ 650-700 on Math2 and Chem</p>

<p>Senior Schedule: AP English, AP Stats, AP Physics, AP Psych, AP Gov/Econ, Journalism....
Other AP + HL: HL Pre-Calc, HL Chemistry, HL Spanish 3, AP Calc, AP English</p>

<p>EC's: JV Tennis (4 years, most consistent player, co-captain), Volleyball Club (3 years, treasurer), Sign Language Club (3 years), Journalism (2 years, features editor), Foreign Foods Club (2 years, vice president), Key Club (4 years, vice president), Relay 4 Life (5 years, big thing bc 2 of my immediate family members have cancer), Recycling Club, CSF (all of high school, vice president)</p>

<p>I'm not sure if I'm going to do cross country next year, but if I do it for the next 2 years I will be on varsity my senior year. And I may be in the national honor society.</p>

<p>Well I am a California resident and may be in top 4% if not I will definately be top 10%. </p>

<p>I would like to know my chances for the following schools, also do I need to add more matches or safeties????
UCLA, UCSD, UCSB, UCI, UCD, UCSC, SDSU, Cal Poly Slo, University of Michigan, University of Miami.</p>

<p>Advice appreciated and thanks in advance.</p>

<p>If you keep on your track, I think you'll be solid for most of the schools. The most competitive ones shouldn't be considered solid regardless of your stats to ensure you have safeties but it looks like you're headed in the direction that will give you lots of choices - good for you:).</p>

<p>The most competetitive ones are UCB, UCLA, UCSD. The less competitive ones you listed are UCI, UCD, UCSC, UCSB. I think SDSU would be less competitive than any of the UCs you listed. CalPoly SLO isn't as competitive as the top UCs. I don't know about the out of state ones you mentioned.</p>

<p>Making the ELC guarantees you'll be accepted to at least one of the UCs but you don't get to choose which one. I believe UCSB, possibly UCI, and almost certainly UCR accepted anyone who qualified for ELC this year.</p>

<p>Make sure to apply for lots of scholarships in your senior year since if you keep going at the rate you have been, you'll likely win some.</p>
