<p>:( my thread is lonely as well. Well, I don’t know much except what I’ve read about on this forum so far. But I would say that your record looks good! The only schools that I have any sort of experience or knowledge about are UC’s, and I would say that you are a good candidate. I think you are pretty much guaranteed at Santa Cruz and San Diego, and you have a good chance for UCLA and UC Berkeley. </p>
<p>What I guess I would say is lacking is your EC’s. You don’t really go into it much but now would be the time to rack up as much crap as possible. Also, maybe you had ought to go out for a sports team next semester? This probably looks good. Join a club? </p>
<p>Lastly, regarding your freshman year, you should rack your brain to find some particularly clearly-defined reason as to why you were not motivated or whatever. I think that having an actual reason, or at least being able to explain yourself (although don’t get defensive), is better than saying that you just didn’t care about school in your essay. And if you can’t come up with a reason, try some bs! Say that your family was going through an extremely rough time and rather than being encouraged towards school you were made to work for the family or something. It’s probably best if it’s half-true; bs spun off of something that actually happened. I bet there was ONE somewhat major mishap in your 8th or 9th grade year, capitalize on that.</p>
<p>Muhahaha. Nice meme reference. Good luck.
